The poms get panned for their history, but what agreement the Solomons have signed with China will end in tears too.Unfortunately, the people of The Solomon Islands are probably ignorant of this event, it's happening because of corrupt politicians and China knows it. China does not care about the perceptions of the people, and the bulk of Solomon Islanders might not even know a deal has been done until they are kicked off their own land to build a factory, air or naval base!
It's all part of Belt and Road, and unlike here very few local Solomon Islanders will take notice. Strategically, both our State and Federal level our politicians were asleep at the wheel, if no deliberately complicit, many were happy to point the finger after they had the cheques in the bank!
