Solomon Islands bans Australian navy ship entry. Tim Tufuga


Australian Navy planned visit to the Solomon Islands has been responded with a ban of Australian Naval vessels to the Solomon Islands EEZ by the Solomon Islands Govenrment.
The Chinese tension continues to escalate in Taiwan as the Taiwanese shootdown a Chinese drone resulting in the Chinese launching their Aircraft Carrier strike group to the Taiwan Strait. In response, the USN sent two Destroyers into the Taiwan Straits to monitor conditions.
Suddenly, China, Australia, Taiwan and USA are suddenly mobilising their military Naval vessels within striking distance of each other.
Closer to home, the Solomon Islands has become defiant of Australian and American political suggestions to not only allow the continued close political relations with the Australia and USA, but, to deter Chinese military and political influence within the Pacific Region and in particular with the Solomon Islands directly. The response has become an even more defiant response by the Solomon Islanders with the Government banning any more Australian military presence within the Solomon Islands.
Clearly, the Australian and American influence within the Pacific Island Region has not rekindled warm feelings. The Chinese have become an alternative hegemon for the Melanesian Nation which will undoubtedly spread to other Melanesian Nations throughout the Pacific Region, which would include Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu in the next half decade?
In the Polynesian Islands, Samoa and Tonga looks to China as part of the Chinese Belt Road Initiative Policy which would include a greater injection of economic infrastructural developments and a open policy with China moving forward.
The BRICS economic bloc has regional implications with the Pacific Island economies in which Russian and Chinese spheres of influence is expanding to the South Pacific via the Chinese niche with the Solomon Islands and in the Polynesian sphere with Samoa.
