The USA sat back and did nothing....the Solly Islands will now have a nice new airstrip to land those Chinese J20's on and a brand new sports stadium to learn about drug cheating at the Olympics.
They already have a foothold in Solomon islands business and mining their resources, sadly its too late as expansionist China have won this battle. The only way is a military coup like Fiji had before China get their military sorted on the islands........
