When Australia start to invading south China Sea with heavy arm sub, plane and ships. Also in Ukraine and no news against Australia with all this war machines. China long been in trading with Pacific Islands over 40 years and China is putting more money to help Pacific islands. Why all the sudden Ho Ha Ho Ha about it π€£π€£
Journalist not able to ask Questions suggesting that Guessing Game is in play. It also appears that this guy does not know anything about China when he said "China has never started cutting it's emissions … " (20:56). He should compare the number of EV, the HSR … Coal Power Plants in US were probably more in the 19th Century compared with China today. And China has been shutting down Coal Power Plants in replacement, cultivating on Renewable Energy such as Wind, Hydropower …
where did ABC find this actor ? he is really a joker for his uninformed and uneducated comment.
Bejieng looks desperate. So sad. So sad.
These folks trying to pull propaganda on me.
Wow ! I was expecting you to say "win win cooperation". Anyway, we're not buying it. China is not to be trusted. At all.
China's core interest. Haaaa!!!
eat the islands bare of any living creatures… they'll fish the oceans bare they'll pollute the pacific ocean with just their presence …. they dress all upper class in their counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbags but their filthy Neanderthals who'll eat anything that moves
Why Australia not more concern on Brisbane flood and put money to drainages.
Throughout the world people know China brings infrastructure, industrial development and profitable trade, in contrast to America that brings death, debts, government change, destruction and wars. Look at Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Ukraine, Vietnam, Somalia, South America.
Sounds like Australia will lose the south pacific islands soon, very soon!! muhahahahahahah!!!
china cant be stoped…
oh no, australia is making a special on china. surley this big colony nation is about to say something good about the asian giant.
Those noisy crickets.
20- 30 years ago the United States and the European union dominate the whole region they were looking like the kid get into the cadies shops don't know what to pick, they spend billions in the vn making a mess there then took off let the people in the south to deal with the new regime (communist) now the west waking up when they see the Chinese slowly picking up each small island and the whole south east Asia.
What a joke.
Music is way too loud!
Why fan out so many criticism against China. China has help this area for last thirty (30) years . Why the western countries and US did not help to build the infrastructure. Instead only provide aids to buy military weapons and regime changes, if they don't follow US biding. US don't cause conflicts in this area and stop paying the selected CIA paid Jounalists and the locals people to bad mouths China good intentions. Stop telling the bads about China. Can you talk something goods about China. The US and Wester Countries say one thing and do another time. Including the right hand do not know what the left hand is doing. Stay home and clean your dirty backyard. Australia , US and Western countries are thouands of mile from Pacific Islands. Is China really a problem to you. The world is a better to live without US and Western Democracy. US Democracy : "Doing the nastiest things in a nicest way "
Some of these countries are the poorest in the world. There you have it.
'We're guaranteed to lose this game.' I hope so.
America is like an abusive parent who beats their kids, and destroys the house while mumbling why don't you love me?
I can see these states playing off the West against China. These countries are democracies and have little in common with Authoritarian China. Not many common values. Lets see what happens in the Solomons. Will China threaten the nations democracy, if there is a Covid outbreak will they appeal for western vaccines or go into a CCP style lock down?
Hi everyone Do you know what Australia did to Solomon Islands
I don't like the flag at your back ground mem…
This is a negative report on China relations with Pacific islands

They'd be setting themselves up to be an enemy of the west and to become used in the middle of war, they're foolish at best.
Historically China rise in the last 4 decades had been a peaceful one, no a bullet fired, no war with any country, no meddling or replacing any of the leader, etc. in contrast the Western colonisers had engaged in wars for the last 40 years from lies and war on terror, replaced some leaders who don't fall in line with US agenda, meddling in their country, occupied country who are not in line. forcing their democratic values, etc.. Every country want to make friend and China doesn't occupied or force African country who don't disagreed with them to date.
Money talk BS walk
From the video we can see problems here. All they worried is how to compete with the Chinese. If you want to be welcomed you must think what the islander people wants not your self interests.
Where is China located? I guess the Pacific. Why should China be working with these islands. They have been a group of inferior nations to our great white Australian nation. They should serve at our pleasure. Just like rest of the south east Asia. We are superior… And we don't care about these people. Wait, big bad China is here, and our master is angry, we are told to stop acting white is superior, at least on surface.. alright, we better get to it then.
the kangaroo has been keep talking about conducting its own foreign policies as an independent nation.
how this double speak nation talk about their small neighbors on their foreign policies?
so, just because the kangaroo consider those tinny nations as the backyard little nations and do not allow them to conduct their independent foreign policies? is this a kangaroo version of its big brother foreign policies?

The west has dominated the pacific islands and Africa for hundreds of years. The results are there for everyone to see. Can you blame these people for wanting to try some alternative?
Chinese ships sailed the south china sea, east china sea, pacific ocean around Asia, Africa for over two thousand years….did not turn these people into slaves, did not colonise. The western powers came and not even a fraction of the time later, did all these terrible things .. Australia, Guam, Hawaii, New Zealand were robbed from the indigenous people n still not returned. So save your holy than thou attitude n fake concern
Some negative consequences are allowing use of Chinese military to suppress and shoot protestors, which can keep autocrats in power.
In China, (1) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to carry out military activities in their respective countries (National Defense Mobilization Law, effective in 2010); (2) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to do spy activities in their respective countries. (National Intelligence Law, effective 2017). Chinese citizens who do not follow the instructions and orders of the Chinese government will be arrested and have no option to decline. Together, these two laws create the most dangerous security situation for each country.

Wow! It's interesting to hear a former Pacific Island leader refer to Australia as 'parents'. The deep roots colonialism is still imbeded in some Pacific nations. It will take a generation to get over the ideology of being a 2nd class citizen in your own country.
Let the Pacific choose their own alliances.
Payoffs , look at stoled USA technology, just pay some dic head service members to betrayed your country for Little pay +/plus, for Chinese ccp , and happens daily
IF YOU BETRAYED AND SELL STOLEN TOP SECRET of any kind should be put To β οΈ DEATH ( I would like to see President Trump make this u.s policy
