Now watch as the U.S complain about this pact is a threat to America or Australia saftey as if they haven't had agreements with countries near China and Russia before. If they force Solomon to turn down this pact then it would be the same situation with Ukraine but reverse.

Whatever the geopolitical motive behind this is, China is certainly thinking outside the box. Who would think of having security pact with Solomon islands and Samoa?

It's more of a psychological motive than a geopolitical one which is making Australia a bit paranoid

As much as I hate China I cant blame Samoa and Solomon Islands. USA and Australia made them a military base instead of giving them opportunity to improve and develop.

Why the hate? What have they ever done to you?

Thieves always get nervous when police is nearby.

Tough competition,as a Indian I obviously do not like China but yes its good to see someone standing up against western hegemony and atrocities...

Why China is not allowed to do so?..... when so many western nations have hundreds of these.

But what about the freedom to choose a military partner, which is so often talked about in the West when it comes to Ukraine?

Is this very strange? the United States, have bases all over China, so why do you not allow others to sit like this? I think what would happen to the United States if China and Russia deployed nuclear bomb bases in Mexico.

History has taught us: when you make friends with China , it always takes advantage of you.

Well, same with USA, look at Ukraine

As if the West aren’t. Lmao
