Problem is we Australians always overlooked or looked down on these Pacific nations for American and European favour and took them for granted. Now we all shitting ourselves because another country has offered more infrastructure, growth and security that we never cared about!
Australia should now support the island nation. And also it should improve the Navy in that region with missiles and defence systems , satellite systems. And help these island nation to have some kind of navy too
>Problem is we Australians always overlooked or looked down on these Pacific nations What, by constantly giving them massive amounts of aid and rebuilding them everytime they or nature destroys their countries? Plus we let heaps live here. What a joke post! Give them all to China and cut all aid. That is the best outcome for everybody.
That's because these Pacific nations are not going to be able to help you against China. They will fall within the first day. If I were Australia, I'd much rather have the US and Europe as an ally than these tiny Pacific countries
Imagine USA and Australia complaining. I thought they just said Russia have no right to talk abt sphere of influence? why is Australia talkinh abt sphere of influence? so Australia is worried abt China next to its door step, while at the same time arming Ukriane. terrible hypocrisy.
Australia and Ukraine are both lesser powers next to a hostile bigger power. Ukraine was right to be worried about Russia attacking and thus wishing to join nato. Australia is right to be concerned about China when they are outgunned numerically, economically, and militarily as well as becoming more aggressive. I would imagine the Mexican and Canadian governments aren’t too worried America is going to annex them anytime soon. But if they choose to increase their military capabilities that’s up to them. But if they choose/forced to be an ally/puppet of the Chinese or Russians it’s our choice to respond to their presence on the American continent. Every nation has a right to self determination. You can pick whatever side you like but you’re delusional if you can’t see the writing on the wall about autocratic states looking to pick off weaker states that aren’t in a substantial mutual defense pack
It’s ironic, when Russia expressed their concern about NATO moving eastwards, they were told that’s ludicrous; so when China and Solomon Island looking at some sort of security pact, all the sudden it is making every western countries uncomfortable 😳 and Australia is now saying it’s making its country less safe. Australia or US don’t even border the island country. Double standards?
That's the most beautiful thing this so called "International community" is about. IF Russia says anything, it is because Russia is evil. IF Australia/usa say anything, that's the rule, that's the rule based order How beautiful this world is.
You have infact reminded the world. Its true that history repeats itself. When Russia was complaining about NATO expansion eastwards, Australia was among the countries that criticized. Now let them bear with the situation that has befallen them. Go China go.
The way some countries like Australia criticized Russia is the same way we will criticize your criticizm. Just bear with the current development and learn to live with it. After all China has come to stay. Don't worry China will be a very good neighbour to you.
Ukraine's desire to join NATO was great concern for Russia but the West insisted Ukraine was a sovereign country and could do whatever they pleased, i think the Solomon Island have done what pleases them based on their sovereignty. It's always amazing to see how western nations are afraid of Russia and China.
Now Australia should invade the Solomon Islands because of the growing chiniese influence in the region by your logic, it's irony for both the west and china and Russia
The way these western countries in particular USA show panic when they hear or see whether China or Russia getting closer to them. I think, they are aware that their time is up.
@@samarthadanvadi878 Yes. Apparently Russia and China decided that Ukraine was not a country anymore, maybe we should do the same to the Solomons, then copy the Russians and invade and butcher them?
The west including Australia and nato are hypocrites they don’t want any foreign country near their country but wanna be right at the door or Russia with nato military infrastructure that’s why Putin is the going to win this war and European will pay higher premium for gas; Russia is doing exactly what this Australia doing with Solomon island
It can't happen because Australia preach democracy thus have to practice it. The PM also said that he viewed the island nations as siblings so it doesnt look right to wack another sibling's head for that reason.
No a mistake by Australia, because Australian does not own the South Pacific and it is for the island countries to decide who they work with. It is only a mistake if one presumes Australia already owned the region and somehow it lost them to China.
Bullshit we dropped the Ball who do you think gives them all their money and support we recently sent ourr police force over their because it was burning to the ground once again. Australia has done nothing wrong their Politican,s are gready and corrupt and have taken the Chinese bribe.
thnx for your sentiment but we also luv our aussie neighbors. we also luv the chinese but come on, i dont want war to start on my country. sh!ts too small to hide anywhere
Sure it is. But in place of China it had to be Quad member countries and not by threat or political intervention but Quads checkbook must replace the Chinese debt trap.
@@HokkaidoSan wel lets not get that far yet.. it all starts from somewhere before it gets blown out of proportion. Fundamentally if Solomons choose to go with China what can the others do? Obviously not invade and hurt people. But then what if Solomons are not satisfied with any offers and choose side with China and may believe they are not in any debt trap, what else can be done.. I guess the only way out then is to let them align with China and accept the reality..
Australian is so worried about a Chinese Base over 1,200 miles away. But, on the other hand, Australian do not mine having Ukraine, which shares border with Russia, to become a NATO member. Unbelievable inconsistency - and that is why the rest of the world, besides some of the West, is not really sanctioning Russia.
It's a 100 miles from Moscow. Putin is a butcher and Ukraine certainly does not deserve the onslaught it faces but neglecting Russia's effort for security while pandering your own, even when the thereat is an order of magnitude away, is the pinnacle of irony on the part of Australia!
Why should Australia mind Ukraine joining Nato. The Ukraine is a sovereign nation and should be able to decide for themselves. They shouldn't need Russia's permission. The Russian invasion is proof that they had very good reason to join Nato. China will likely end up hurting the Solomons just like they did to Sri Lanka.
@@maarts4588 China is not responsible for Sri Lanka crisis. China's debt to Sri Lanka is only 10% of the total debt. Australia has not right to interfere the matters of other countries.
Do you even watch the full video? 90% of Solomon islands people want to cooperate with democratic countries only and more than 70% don't want any chinese help. Also the pact is so shady that nobody knows anything about it. How is this the same? WHATABOUTISM TROLL.
Solomon islands need economic development and many years of Western ties have not brought that development. In many ways we have exploited these countries and pillaged their resources andyes, maybe thats what China may also do. They now have a fairly strong position to bargain for getting the best out of both parties.

Why it is a problem for the Chinese to have a military presence in the pacific but it is ok for nato to be in Russia's back yard. Pure hypocrisy and double standards.
Because China are Communists and are run by a Maniac with an expansionism mindset of taking over the world. The US ISNT trying to expand its territory, which is why nobody minds when they put bases & embassies in other countries.
Australia is not a threat for china. Quad is not a treaty arm alliance. But china surely targets these small strategic islands to impose Chinese colonialism through lucrative debt options and forcing them under debt trap

Soviet equipment was so popular in the world because it was the highest quality/price but required a high initial investment into industry that mass produced it.
Australia is more worried about Solomon island than their citizen Julian Assange indicted to the USA. Aust gov already said they don't care about Assange and wont interfere.
The Solomons is populated mainly by a simple island culture, people that rioted against this deal with China. The people did not want this. This led to an inclusion in the agreement to allow Chinese troops to be landed to squash any unrest. It will be Hong Kong all over again. The Solomons Government has sold its people out and sold its sovereignty for a few pieces of silver. It is the people of the Solomons that will pay the price.
Just watch out.. When chinese came to a poor country like PHILIPPINES. Many people gets job and also gets jailed. BUILDINGS are booming left & right. Hot Chinese chicks roam everywhere. CHINESE RESTAURANTS will be seen every corner of the streets. CASINOS rising MONEYS FLOWING like chocolate fountain. And illegal drugs & shady activities usually will be in every headlines.

No one is invading Solomon Islands. People use a sophisticated system nowadays called diplomacy and business. It’s crazy, it’s a very modern thing. Many countries, including Russia, do not understand it…

@winter soldier. On UK TV news some months ago, US/UK was asked by United Nations to return Chagos island back to Maldives which they seized over 50 years ago and both countries use it as a military base. Nothing heard of since.
It's so simple as people of Solomon Islands has history in which they were ruled by British Empire. They're victim of world war II, suffered casualties from USA, Japan and British as many other countries suffered the same. How someone can erase their history of freedom. Well at the same time China has no compassion for them too. But nowadays most nations are forcing to choose between western countries or most probably China and Russia. Those who have power to be neutral then they can. But history repeats itself so I hope people of Solomon islands won't suffer the same as past.
@@studentNEET319 And you know what Sri Lanka will do in the future? Take more Chinese debt trap loans and default on the 90% of debt it owes to the IMF. Why? They got a power plant, a port, and industrial district from that 10% debt, which they don't have to pay cuz they can lease. From the 90% debt to IMF? Nothing much and incoming austerity measures. So naturally they'll say F U to the IMF and take Chinese loans whenever possible.
It’s a good deal. A very good deal. The Solomon Islands is one of several countries in the region. The problem with Wion is that most of its news segments are almost always bias even when India is not involved in the mix. The United States, France, UK, and of course Australia have existing military bases in the so-called Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia. So what’s the big deal with China’s security pact?
You ddnt know that Communist China are AMBITIONED to plann invades all Asian Countries just to weakened USA? Hah?

Trust me my friend nor Indian pubic, nor Indian gov is even concerned or interested in China having military base in Solomon Islands and ytrust me Wion is also not even concerned. He is just reporting about what new developments happening in geopolitics.
Hypocrisy is now the order of the day. I remember just before the commencement of the Russian Ukrainian conflict, On this same channel, the concept of spheres of influence as against Sovereignty was vehemently criticized. I get a very different vibe hearing "Australia's dropping of the ball as regards to the Solomon Islands being in its sphere of influence ". Very disappointing.
This is completely different. We won't bribe corrupt leaders, China will. Therefore Solomons joins China. More Pacific Islands will follow as they are nearly all corrupt.
Yeah great move, we love you china from Africa no matter what any one would say(beside up till now, we've not got our independent from the European and us)
Even though Australia is an ally I can't help but chuckle as they feel the heat of the Chinese 1000 miles of their coast. I think they might now understand India's feelings. India actually does share the borders with the China.
So it is OK for NATO to surround Russia with nuclear bases 5km from the Russia border but it is not ok for China to have their base 2000 km from Australia. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Considering that NATO is made up of Multiple Nuclear powers with Russia also being a Nuclear power and is in Europe where all the nations are close together its to be expected to have Nuclear silos in close proximity, but we are seeing a Hostile nuclear power encroach on a non nuclear power so your comparison would work IF Australia was a Nuclear power and had Nukes that could reach China or was on China's border, also don't forget China and Australia are over 7000Km Away From each other

The hard fact is Australia, like all the other white supremacist countries of the West, never ever regarded the Solomon Islanders as human beings. "As equals and siblings"? What a crass joke!

Because a global militia organization trying to get closer to your border is considered as a threat and this is no different. We can talk about hypocrisy of west for days but the truth is that the China is threatening Australia just like NATO does with Russia.
The way white people look at China as though the Chinese are not humans shows their colonial mentality. Nonwhite races should get together because they will always want you under their control.
No one attacked the Solomons. Did you notice that? So, when the Solomons find out that having Chinese running their micro state isn't so fun after all, should the US or Australia try to negotiate for the Solomons? Hell no. Let them enjoy the Hong Kong experience.
I am Australian,,, Australian government has treated Pacific islands very badly for many many years,, The Solomon's are a sovereign nation they should be allowed to make their own decisions
There will be VERY BIG precedent for the position of the West regarding Ukraine. Very interesting to see how they will react when other countries make alliance countries next to their door like they allow Ukrain to do with Russia; when other governments close media and bloc people from social medias like they did for voices having different opinion about the war in Ukrain

you talk about "A sovereign state" can choose their own path, but US didnt give that freedom to them. if you oppose US ( democracy ), you will face "Freedom" with NATO army ? right?
It does set a very big precedent. It shows there is no such thing as a "back yard" or "sphere of influence." Expect AUKUS to demonstrate this to China in the the North Australian Sea (some people who don't know history call it the "South China Sea" lol)
No surprises... both Australia and New Zealand have treated the Soloman Islands with such indifference that China has now become more relevant in the Pacific region. It will be interesting to see what develops here but if the US war machine gets involved chaos will be the outcome, just my thoughts.
Soloman will regret it, just like Sri Lanka , Pakistan and african countries . Australia had shown hypocrisy that's why they lost trust of these small nations
US is a democracy... China is a spineless autocracy... Thats what the difference is .. the values u impose on the world .. US is a hypocrite yet no way is dictator China comparable
That was signed off by the state government of the Northern Territory. The Australian federal government is looking at canceling that agreement with a law that was introduced some 12 months ago. In saying that I still think the Morrison government are a bunch of stooges!

Even if the neighbor lives 40 doors down the hall way from you…. Your mutual security is threatened.
Point is this same Australia believe that Ukraine should do as it pleased because it is a sovereign nation and Russia was being melodramatic about USA leading a coup in Ukraine, arming NAO Nazis and Ukraine discussing joining NATO.

It is actually worse. NATO is officially designed to contain Russia and its satellite states. Hence, joining NATO is joining an alliance officially to contain Russia. Solomon Islands treaty is not intended to contain Australia but to secure trade routes. Remember, China is a very vulnerable and insecure nation built on trade.

Australia does not dictate to its neighbours. The Solomons has the right to make choices for themselves and their people. Australian diplomats spoke at length with the Solomons about the considerations when dealing with China and loans. It fell on deaf ears. I as an Aussie feel the Solomons Government has done the wrong thing by its neighbours. In WW2 the Solomons were highly strategic and greatly defended by Aussies, as with Papua. The Solomons Government has handed not only its own sovereignty to China it has also handed its neighbours over as well. Most Aussies see this as a betrayal. We are all at risk now thanks to the Solomons.
Kerra 369 -Absolutely. I can't see why they made such a decision, given we're over there helping them keep the peace at the moment. The locals aren't terribly happy about it. I suspect even less so once they start seeing the eventual outcome.
When the Aussie's Prime Minister said they treat their Pacific neighbours as equal and could not dictate to them it sounded like he was just spinning to suit the western narrative regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

This is an election campaign attack by the ALP with little to substantiate it. The Australian government knows Solomon Islands politics and diplomacy inside out. They had RAMSI forces there for years and at great expense keeping rival groups apart, and sent in troops to restore peace in the latest riots. The Solomon islands leader is just playing off the Chinese and the Australians against each other to extract maximum cash injection into the economy (and probably into the leadership’s bank accounts). The Australians are aware of this and know far more about what is going on and how to manage it than the opposition ALP who know almost nothing about it and saw this situation as a free kick to score some points in the election campaign without having to actually know or contribute anything. The dogs bark and the election caravan moves on. It’ll be something completely different tomorrow. Meanwhile Australia and the US will be working together on a joint strategy to manage the situation which will include the establishment of a US embassy and no doubt discussions involving money and security in the Pacific. Does Sogavare really want his country to be a military target and the Guadalcanal 2.0 battleground between China and the US/Australia because that is what it will become when China bases its military there. We shall see. It depends on how much money China comes up with I suppose. By then of course Sogavare will have long since retired in comfort somewhere out of danger.

When the Indian government signs an agreement with other countries, can the Indian government show such agreement to the rest of the world and the Indian people? This is weak propagation
China has 0NE overseas military base, the USA has a declared 800. With a ratio of 800:1 who do you think is a greater threat to the world? Unlike Australia, China doesn’t do war. There have only been 16 years in the history of the USA when it hasn’t been at war. If China wanted another overseas military base there are far more important places in the world to establish one. China is constantly building around the world but the USA is constantly destroying.
I hope there is genuine transparency when it comes to funds being provided by China to the Solomon Islands as I for one do not support leaders who act corruptly and siphon off public funds for personal enrichment. I am by no means accusing the Solomon's leader of this - but suggest you get ahead of the game now and track every bank account connected to him name and/or his immediate family.
There is always hidden agendas for self enrichment. I for one do not trust the CCP. Go look what they are doing to their own people in Singapore.

Since they do not stop and anytime Russia could be attacked anytime they wish to . Russian a have no choice but forced to strike first to prevent being bombed , so Russia have to and must strike and after few weeks only then Russia realise that Ukraine not only have military weapons they also have many biological weapons targeting at Russia .

Mathematically & Strategically sound equation: *China： Solomon = Australia： Taiwan* Except that Taiwan is recognized by 90% of world countries to be part of China. Whereas Solomon Is an independent country. So not sound politically.
After China has effectively denied Ukrainian sovereignty, expect less people to consider Taiwan part of China. Apart from politicians, most people view Taiwan as independent anyway.

Money money money deals deals deals, would not have mattered if the ball was caught or dropped! This practice isn't new for China and its influence on other smaller nations is repeated again. Ultimately an independent nation makes its own decisions, even when other nations try to show them the dangers of this path. Hopefully the citizens of the Solomons will get the final say!
What's the big deal? The Solomon Island is a sovereign nation. It has the right to do what it pleases. If Australia is so afraid, then hand over your nation to the Aborigines and then pack up and leave for Britain where you came from
The Soloman Islands are capable of making their own decision with whom they associate. Australia is not in the business of buying support. The Solomons will have to live with the choices they have made.
And that's exactly what gonna happen in Africa. More and more countries choose China and Russia instead of America and Europe. We need technology, we're fed up of dead aid.

Yeahh Christy you are getting the story now , people shouldn’t talk about Human this and that when their goals is geo political suzerainty.
Do you know the difference between a democracy and an autocracy ?
Australia and Ukraine are both lesser powers next to a hostile bigger power. Ukraine was right to be worried about Russia attacking and thus wishing to join nato. Australia is right to be concerned about China when they are outgunned numerically, economically, and militarily as well as becoming more aggressive. I would imagine the Mexican and Canadian governments aren’t too worried America is going to annex them anytime soon. But if they choose to increase their military capabilities that’s up to them. But if they choose/forced to be an ally/puppet of the Chinese or Russians it’s our choice to respond to their presence on the American continent. Every nation has a right to self determination. You can pick whatever side you like but you’re delusional if you can’t see the writing on the wall about autocratic states looking to pick off weaker states that aren’t in a substantial mutual defense pack

It can't happen because Australia preach democracy thus have to practice it. The PM also said that he viewed the island nations as siblings so it doesnt look right to wack another sibling's head for that reason.
No a mistake by Australia, because Australian does not own the South Pacific and it is for the island countries to decide who they work with. It is only a mistake if one presumes Australia already owned the region and somehow it lost them to China.

They're victim of world war II, suffered casualties from USA, Japan and British as many other countries suffered the same. How someone can erase their history of freedom.

No surprises... both Australia and New Zealand have treated the Soloman Islands with such indifference that China has now become more relevant in the Pacific region. It will be interesting to see what develops here but if the US war machine gets involved chaos will be the outcome, just my thoughts.

Australia who leased the port Darwin to China for 99 years is now concerned of China's growing influence in the Pacfic Islands. lol What a joke.
That was signed off by the state government of the Northern Territory. The Australian federal government is looking at canceling that agreement with a law that was introduced some 12 months ago. In saying that I still think the Morrison government are a bunch of stooges!
And the Leasing of the Port of Darwin to China is hated by Most Australians as the Decision to do so was made by the Government of Northern Territory with little to no Say from the Federal Government of Australia and Standard Australians
Yeah that was due to the corrupt territory government not giving a damn about the will of Australian people… and that isn’t a military bases like the Solomon Islands will be
They are both independent countries..

500 mile is nothing for missile that why Australia must care. If you live in an apartment building, would you be ok with your neighbors inviting miscreants inside and leaving the security doors open? Even if the neighbor lives 40 doors down the hall way from you…. Your mutual security is threatened.

It is actually worse. NATO is officially designed to contain Russia and its satellite states. Hence, joining NATO is joining an alliance officially to contain Russia. Solomon Islands treaty is not intended to contain Australia but to secure trade routes. Remember, China is a very vulnerable and insecure nation built on trade.

Not an Australian but it is all because of Australia hypocrisy , they had signed with usa and uk but they were telling to other countries , don't believe on any foreign country (simply china) .
Soloman will regret it in future no doubt
Scott Morrison was arrogant and his indifference, because he (Scott Morrison) thought the Solomon Islands Prime Minister is incapable of doing something like this. Do Scott Morrison has to take some responsibility because this happened under his watch. It's the same attitude he shows during the wild fire that destroyed a lot of lives and property.
First he was too busy with helping Ukraine join NATO so as to compromise Russia's national security.
Second his too busy proving to his masters in USA that his good and loyal lapdog.
Thirdly Solomon island is a sovereign country with full right to do what is best for them and their country without involving Australia.
US stationed troops in bases in the Outh China countries of. Philippines, Korea and Japan within the same distance as the Solomon island is from Australia. So why can't Chinese soldiers be stationed in Solomon?
The biggest problem with this is more the fact the people of Solomon's don't want that to happen.

ADB is way cheaper than CDB but is equal to China Exim Bank but a country is hard to meet the proper and fit ADB standards to take a debt.

Solomon island has the freedom to choose their own alliance, just as Ukraine, and it is farrrrrrr away from US.
Australia does not dictate to its neighbours. The Solomons has the right to make choices for themselves and their people. Australian diplomats spoke at length with the Solomons about the considerations when dealing with China and loans. It fell on deaf ears. I as an Aussie feel the Solomons Government has done the wrong thing by its neighbours. In WW2 the Solomons were highly strategic and greatly defended by Aussies, as with Papua. The Solomons Government has handed not only its own sovereignty to China it has also handed its neighbours over as well. Most Aussies see this as a betrayal. We are all at risk now thanks to the Solomons.

@@item6931 First, I am not going to arm anyone/nations with weapons.
Secondly, nuclear subs and nuclear armed subs are different. Usually, nuclear subs means nuclear powered submarines as they derive operational power from nuclear energy. Normal diesel-electric powered subs can carry nuclear arms and such kind of subs are not only used by US and Russia but also by few European countries, India and China.
Finally, Will Chinese arm Solomon Islands with nuclear subs? I am uncertain about this because operating nuclear subs require special expertise that cannot be cultivated in a month or two. Except the above mentioned countries, none of them have such expertise. In fact, Australia, herself seriously lack that expertise in handling nuclear subs.

This is an election campaign attack by the ALP with little to substantiate it. The Australian government knows Solomon Islands politics and diplomacy inside out. They had RAMSI forces there for years and at great expense keeping rival groups apart, and sent in troops to restore peace in the latest riots. The Solomon islands leader is just playing off the Chinese and the Australians against each other to extract maximum cash injection into the economy (and probably into the leadership’s bank accounts). The Australians are aware of this and know far more about what is going on and how to manage it than the opposition ALP who know almost nothing about it and saw this situation as a free kick to score some points in the election campaign without having to actually know or contribute anything. The dogs bark and the election caravan moves on. It’ll be something completely different tomorrow.
Meanwhile Australia and the US will be working together on a joint strategy to manage the situation which will include the establishment of a US embassy and no doubt discussions involving money and security in the Pacific. Does Sogavare really want his country to be a military target and the Guadalcanal 2.0 battleground between China and the US/Australia because that is what it will become when China bases its military there. We shall see. It depends on how much money China comes up with I suppose. By then of course Sogavare will have long since retired in comfort somewhere out of danger.
