Solomon Islands Prime Minister Menasi Sogavare recently delivered a fierce speech in the national parliament, once again defending the security agreement signed between china and the two sides, criticizing the civil society groups that attack the treaty as being manipulated by foreign forces. He believed Solomon signed the security agreement "on the right side of history." In addition, Sogavare bluntly denounced Australia and its Western allies for their efforts to bribe local proxies and deliberately undermine solomon's government, telling Parliament that the country was under threat of invasion and that "the situation is serious"! Although Sogavare did not name the source of the threat, discerning people knew who else would upset Solomon so much besides the United States and Australia.
In the face of Sogavare's criticism, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison also made only one set of scenes in an interview two days later, saying that Australia regarded the Pacific Island countries as "family". A good "family", when the security agreement was signed, openly played the news headline saying that it was Australia that wanted to invade Solomon, is this the Australian"family atmosphere"?
It can be said that since the signing of the security cooperation agreement in the middle of the game, the two Oceania members of the "Five Eyes Alliance" have not stopped, especially In Australia, jumping up and down is not lively. The former defense minister called it "unacceptable", and then some media people called for "bombing the capital of Solomon", and the image of a grinning South Pacific bully jumped out of sight. Australia claims that Solomon is its so-called "country in the region", but in fact, the straight-line distance from Solomon to Sydney is nearly 3,000 kilometers, which is farther than Beijing to Tokyo. It is such a country thousands of kilometers away that it even "draws a red line" for the other side in a dignified manner, and is ready to "launch an invasion" against others at every turn. It can be said that this "Deputy Sheriff of the South Pacific" is not very skilled, the official addiction is not small, and he is pressing hard step by step with big deception, completely disregarding the consequences that such a threat will bring to himself.
Western media, including Agence France-Presse and Reuters, believe that Australia has long regarded the South Pacific as its own backyard, and in order to run it well, aid to the region has accounted for more than one-third of the total foreign aid for many years, and in the field of infrastructure, culture and security, it has been infiltrating the South Pacific island countries for a decade. Although these small island States have also reaped some benefits from them, they have all been exchanged for sovereignty, and there is no right to refuse on the issue of core interests. In 2017, for example, Australian intelligence officials warned Micronesia that if it dared Torock to lay submarine cables here, it would send torpedoes to blow them up.
It can be seen that Sogavare's warning is not alarmist, and Australia really dared to invade Solomon. So, with a bandit country like Australia next to it, how can a small neighboring country feel safe? The opportunity for this security cooperation stems from solomon's anti-China riots not long ago, and the essence of these riots is actually a "color revolution" that has nothing to do with the United States and Australia. At that time, the Solomon government had insufficient military strength to ask China for help, otherwise if you look for the United States and Australia, wouldn't you ask the ghost to take the medicine list? In the final analysis, Solomon's cooperation with China was not forced out by Australia.
The United States, Australia and other Western forces have set off wave after wave of plunder, division and colonization in these South Pacific island countries, and still regard them as "forbidden areas of power", leaving entangled proxy forces in the local area, but never really caring about the demands of these island countries. In contrast, cooperation with China today can reap tangible benefits for Solomon and for the local people, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless. It's just that the United States and Australia have long been accustomed to ignoring the sovereignty of small countries, making decisions for others, and considering their own interests, and the so-called respect is nonsense.
All in all, keeping an eye on other countries, not allowing people to be touched, and not being able to be bullied by themselves to gain true independence and autonomy, what is the United States and Australia worried about? The problem is also seen through by Solomon's local media, which is "actually afraid of their own shadow." Finally, Solomon Prime Minister Sogavare has great welcome and trust in the mainland, which is a positive sign. We should better perform our relevant duties and show the world a bright and upright Chinese attitude and a morally clear responsibility as a big country.
