Ukraine is just about 35km away from Russian borders, but the Solomon Islands is over 3000km from Australia. Yet, you have people trying to compare the dangers in proximities. The west has abused many nations in the past and are now jealous of the new relationship between these countries and China; an unfortunate scenario we are witnessing.

I am a Solomon Islander and appreciate the explanation and no bias opinions between the countries involved. For me as a Solomon Islander seeing no changes or beneficial deals being struck between USA or Australia like the climate change plans or listen to our concerns about climate change is a clear indication that they’re just having their own ambitions achieved and no care for the small countries. So i think as a sovereign country like the Solomons, it’s time to make our own decisions.

Just recently there was a riot in Solomon Islands. Solomon government asked Australia to send security forces to help. The Australian police went there to protect the Australian citizens, Embassy and business properties in Solomon Islands. However, the Australian government say their police would not help to protect the Chinese people, Embassy and Chinese properties in Solomon Islands. For this reason, the Chinese government signed a security deal with the Solomon to have Chinese security forces there to protect the Chinese interest in Solomon Islands. What is wrong with that?

Context and details are important. The Chinese embassy is Chinese territory and as such Australian representatives could not enter the land without formal prior permission from the Chinese government. The same protections in varying amounts applied to a lot if the embassy staff as well so again Australian forces couldn't legally interfere directly. That said, its not like the Australian peacekeeping forces would have done nothing to protect them, they could control public unrest or come up with some other heading to file it under, they just couldn't specifically undertake certain actions or go certain places because of the legal issues. The same issues would apply to the US embassy and staff except Australia can quickly get formal agreements in place with America, but trying to get china to sign an agreement to let Australian forces protect their staff and property would be near impossible.

The other key difference is Taiwan is in a civil war with China and Ukraine shares borders with Russia while Solomon Islands is thousands of miles away from both the US and Aus. They think they are entitled to enforce their "red lines" literally thousands of miles away while others can't even enforce their own red lines in their front lawns.

Thanks for the analysis. Coming from New Zealand, I noticed that the NZ Government parroted the Australian and US positions regarding Chinese influence in the Solomon Islands. NZ has been more cautious in expressing disagreements with Beijing since China is our biggest trading partner. NZ is also part of the Five Eyes where we are seen as the little sibling.

In fact, I was still checking a place to live in Australia as I had a plan to move out to there. Then ,I saw news about how Aussie government and police forces handled the protests. So, I looked inside deeply and then I realized New Zealand might be a better choice, it's just a pity it's going to take me some more time as my budget would probably need more. Aussie was such a good choice to live. Edited - several days ago, a new friend from New Zealand told me how fk up they are . Well, yes, shitty Democratic gov. Now, NZ option has been denied.

It is mind boggling what Australia is thinking of invading the Solomon Islands because her government has chosen China instead of Australia? The people of Solomon Islands have the right to choose for themselves based on what China or Australia does to help them instead of exploiting their resources. People are not stupid, they have chosen China because China cares more for the welfare of the Solomon Islanders than the Australian do, just as simple as that.

It's not only double standars when it comes to the Ukraine issue it's right out cognitive dissonance. 1 Solomon Islands do not border Australia. Ukraine not only borders Russia but a significant portion of it's population are Russians, Crimeans born before 1955 still hold Russian citizenship and Ukraine itself was actually part of the one and same Russian Empire for centuries. 2. The Solomon Islands and China are not in any military alliance, not have ever targeted Australia or US. Ukraine wanted to join NATO an alliance primarily created to defend against USSR Russia specifically, and had over the years turned into an aggressor regime change alliance. (Serbia, Iraq, Libya etc) 3. The Solomon Islands are not persecuting it's own people nor any Australian or American minority that may be living there . Ukraine outlawed the use of Russian language, persecuted ethnic Russians, tore up agreements (Minsk), and the Americans even violated the Budapest Memorandum (article3) by installing their own government in a coup. The Kiev regime even created their own state funded Ukranian Christian religion to persecute the official centuries old Church because it encompassed both the Russian and Ukranian people and views them as one brotherly people. Identity politics in Ukraine turned the nation into a Rwanda waiting to happen.

The real reason the Solomon Islands chose to deal with China over Australia. Simple: Australia is there to steal all it can from the Solomon Islands and to attack any businesses that do business with Chinese businesses while China is there to look after not only its own merchants on the Solomon Islands but to actually protect the government and the people of the Solomon Islands from the bullying and attacks of the Australian military. China believes in give-and-take relationship it called "win/win proposition" while Australia being the thief and colonizer that it is still clings to the notion that it could simply go into another country and steal whatever it wants to steal as long as it has a more dominant military. This mindset of the Anglos is the reason why smaller countries all over the world are choosing to deal with China rather than the US, UK, or Australia!

Putin had been very patience begging Ukraine government stop the war crimes on the Russian people living inside Ukraine, but for 8 years the bombings and attacks by Ukraine's neo-Nazi military were non-stop, more than 10,000 Ukrainian civilians of Russian heritage have been killed, this is a fact confirmed by United Nations! Putin is offering peace solution to Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is that Zelensky agrees to stop butchering the people of Russian heritage inside Ukraine, if so then Russia will withdraw its military from Ukraine, but Zelensky refuses to agree stop doing that!

Hey Cyrus, I am Australian and I am completely embarrassed everytime our Prime Minister is mentioned in world affairs. You have hit every point bang on about his fialings re climate change and care for the Pacific Region Islands. I am surprised that it is 50% as America is working very hard at propaganda, painting China as an Enemy, abusing human rights, sending in Strom troopers into Hong Kong and always threatening Taiwan. They believe that the cities are filthy and people poor, no food and the recent lockdowns in Shanghai, one video of the foreign sector wailing on into the night has been claimed as a whole city. Yet, the food wasted and dumped because it was donated by farmers and therefore not washed before they got it, was insulting to those hard working farmers. How do I know...Like you, I have lived there, have family and a friend who flew back to her sick mother there and also living in Shanghai. Pictures speak louder than words from the Western media. The image of the Australian PM and the Pacific Islanders meeting on climate change, in the red shirts, was the last time he has had anything to do with them in a formal meeting. His social circles are more to be the lapdog of the USA President and have fights with the French...or should I say LIE to the French as he Lie's to the Pacific Islanders and us, the Australian people. He is no better at leading this country than either the 45th or 46th POTUS. As for trade, he has all but destroyed our once huge trade with China and all for HIS ego. That trade strangely enough was all picked up by US companies and all Australia now deals with China is ore. I challenged a radio station to say one good thing a day about China, for just one week and let people know what they have achieved in the short time from 1990. I was neither replied to amd hear nothing. I won't give up, I will say positive things out loud and in the face of every Australian, because I know they have never been to China. May 21st is our election day for a new federal government, All we can hope for is the end of Scomo as his polite name, is to be gone, his government and him as the best option, and a new Government with a tighter control on it in power. One that will be a positive actioned government to the climate change, cut defence spending, and work in our region of influence. Maybe we should send the PM of the Solomon Islands our latest Toy..A Scott Morrison Inaction Doll, complete with upside down smile and Hillsong repertoire. I love my Country...I am ashamed of my Government.!

Funnily enough, probably not... But not for the reasons you would expect. The simple fact is that the fall of the previous rulers has been allowed to happen because they became complacent, its a cycle that has occurred over and over throughout history. Currently they are fighting each other because there is nothing threatening them, but when a significant threat does arise they will return to their old ways. Just look at what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US failed against much much weaker countries, but they failed because they were playing with kid gloves, their people didn't see those countries as real threats so the military could never engage in all out war. Keep in mind, in Roman times there were lots of cultures and races in rome and they moved freely across much of Europe, but a few hundred years later they simply didn't exist. When the next real all out war occurs its going to be an extermination, or will at least send the remaining people back to starving Ethiopian levels of survival. Its tragic but its in our nature, we get along really well when there aren't any major problems, but when it comes down to people that look like me vs people that look like you, every race and group of people, even down to hairstyles and clothing choices, we always take the side if the people that on whatever level we most identify with.

An even more ironic case could be made that China is increasing its military projection... not just to defend itself against its greatest trading partner, but to protect itself against the country which taught it how to be that great trading nation, which has nurtured it through its period of weakness to the point it is now strong enough to challenge its teacher.. Irony! China needs military spending to attack its teacher. Such a comedy sketch will not be made in China, of course. The government would not permit it. And that difference is what Australia is really seeking to defend.

Personally l see the Solomon islands situation as being the same as Ukraine but not from the popular media driven viewpoint. Both countries have incredibly high rates of corruption, both were intended to be buffer zones to keep major powers from clashing directly and both have governments that have been heavily influenced from outside (thus its not self determination of the people, its just corruption and bribery of officials). My personal take on this situation is that rather than pushing the Solomons to stop the Chinese from having access, they should instead broker a deal that was in the best interests of the Solomons that very clearly stated that no foreign power would be allowed access for military personnel or equipment of any type. Make the agreement between all the major players and maje it state that should any member break the agreement that heavy penalties would be applied both by the solomons and the other countries potentially including military action.

You're spot on Cyrus in pointing out the hypocracy of the West in relation to Russia's "red line" over Ukraine joining NATO & their own "red line" over SI's security deal with China. It's important to note that Russia's security concerns over Ukraine joining NATO must be understood in the context of the US tearing up the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty with Russia in 2018. If Ukraine joined NATO, therefore, then there would be nothing to prevent placement of intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Ukraine, right on Russia's border. As you point out, in the real world, smaller, less-powerful countries that are geographically close to superpowers are NOT free to do whatever they might think is in their "best interests" in terms of military/ security arrangements. Hence, the Cuban Missile Crisis in the early 60s &, as you rightly point out, the inability of Mexico or Canada or any smaller, less-powerful country remotely close to the US forging military/security alliances with China (or Russia).

Just after the Solomon Islands switched diplomatic recognition from the Republic of China on Taiwan to the People's Republic of China in 2019, the U.S. sent $25 million to Daniel Suidani, premier of Malaita Province (the largest island in the country) in support of a separatist independence referendum against the Honiara central government. Almost all the financial aids from Australia and Taiwan went to Malaita Province for the same reason. The color revolution almost succeeded if not for the arrival of Chinese police and security force on the request of the Solomon Islands. Expect further uprisings by separatist forces with backing from deputy sheriff Australia and the U.S., especially when they finish setting up a new embassy (spy center) in Honiara after a 77-year absence.

Look at HK too, without the Security Law, the HK students were harassing the HK police. Those "brainless" kids were brainwashed by a few student leaders like Joshua, who now rewarded with a scholarship to study at Harvard for his deeds spilling other people's children's blood. Those "kids" also defaced the Legislative Council House, much like the 6th Jan 2021 incident in Washington. So good to see that "what goes around, comes around." The truth of Galatian 6: 7.

The Guadalcanal/Malaita divide has been around for centuries. The Guadalcanal dominated government switched recognition because it knew China would help subdue the Malaitans. Of course, the Democratic World then increased it's support for Malaita province. I hope the referendum succeeds.

From the perspective of the Solomon Islanders, this all has to with ethnic conflict and which group will have control of the Solomon Islands and the money flowing in fro, foreign sources. Money is the key here and the Solomon Islands' government is well known for its corruption. From China's perspective, it is all about military access to the South Pacific, and it is willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money to gain that access. IOW, this has nothing to do with "security", as there is no external threat to the security of the Solomon Islands. There is, however, a grave security threat to the South Pacific region if China establishes any kind of military bases there.

@@bryanjackson8917. ASEAN people sees how Australia had gobbled up parts of Indonesia 40 years ago by installing up a puppet regime of Australia on an island next to Papua New Guinea. And recently, without consultation with her neighbors, Australia has gone nuclear without signing any NPT Agreement. Besides, Australia was born out of 98% eradication of its the Land's Natives, which they called uncivilized Aborigines as though that justify the murder and theft of their continent in the early 19th Century. You better pray to God, that He does not exist. God's words (i.e. promises) will come to past, for God is not a man , that He should lie. Galatians 6: 7 "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever you sow, that you will also reap." (NEB version).

Thanks for posting this. I can barely count how many regime changes the US has caused. And don't even know how often they tried unsuccessfully. One reason Ukraine has had 8 years of civil war with the genocide of ethnic Russians, also comes from a regime change the US effected in 2014, and which cost them USD 5 billion.

If that’s the case, China is one step away from Australia.

The $2 billion worth of seafood that Australia used to sell to China now will be absorbed by the Solomon Islands and surrounding islands. You are going to see the standard of living of the Islanders with good highways, 5 G , French wine, resorts, instead of sandals and straw huts.

The war room skit was brilliant and pretty spot on… so stupid but so true

Australia has been very lax in assisting with economic development in the Pacific Islands and PNG. Conversely, China has been very forward in pursuing mutual economic development with small developing nations around the world. As, for environmental issues, I think Australian domestic environmental concerns for economic development in the Pacific islands have hindered their progress and well-being. Australia has had a very paternalistic and colonial attitude to the Pacific islands that they are now trying to break free from. The situation in Africa is similar. After centuries of neglect by the colonising West, developing nations are embracing China's model of economic development to lift people out of poverty domestically and internationally.

The problem is rampant corruption, Australia has given huge sums of money to various Indo-Pacific governments but the money just gets syphoned off to various family members and their own tribes or clans. The cost to do relatively simple things like install power lines in PNG for example is likely to be at least 10x the cost in any normal country, but even then there is no guarantee anything will actually get built. As messed up a comment as this would sound to most, PNG was a much better country when it was still run by Australia, not just in terms of Australian interests, but in terms of the quality of life for the people of PNG. The crime rates are worse than most areas declared war zones, the statistics for rape, murder, violence and corruption put it as one of the worst countries on the planet these days. Its so bad that its not even taboo, when surveyed over 40% of males admitted to having raped a woman that isn't their wife. Its frankly sickening what happens in some of these countries and it makes you realise that perhaps there are worse things in this world than colonialism.

USA, UK, Australia announced AUKUS with the intention to arm Australia with Nuclear powered submarines 👇 ".. AUKUS is a trilateral security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, announced on 15 September 2021 for the Indo-Pacific region. Under the pact, the US and the UK will help Australia to acquire nuclear-powered submarines...." When the United States, Britain and Australia established AUKUS _Did they consulted with Solomon Indonesia and ASEAN_ ? Of course NO. US and Australia completely ignored the feelings of Solomon, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries. So _Why_ the United States and Australia are afraid of the security treaty signed by China and Solomon ? _This clearly demonstrates that the West is a barbaric and domineering regime_
