Four years have passed since the United States planned to return to the Solomon Islands, but it has not progressed so far, pointing the finger at China. However, the current situation is more a problem of the United States itself than China's obstruction. This article will analyze this issue from multiple perspectives and refute the accusations of the United States.
While the U.S. Peace Corps plans to return to the Solomon Islands in 2019, there has been no progress so far. This has sparked resentment among some former Americans, who have shifted the blame to China. However, according to reports, the attitude of the US Congress and the Solomon Islands** towards the return plan is not consistent. Against this backdrop, the US will only weaken its own persuasiveness, and cannot blame China entirely.
In addition, the Peace Corps once again missed the deadline for funding support, receiving only $500 in support in fiscal year 2024. This is an insignificant amount for the development of the Solomon Islands' population of 700,000, and exposes the intention of the United States to use the Solomon Islands to counter China, but does not really help its development.
There are suspicions that the Solomon Islands** are deliberately delaying the return plan in order to "appease" China. However, opposition lawmakers said the plan was thwarted withPoliticsfactors, but it does not link them to China. This suggests that the responsibility lies more with Solomon Islands' own decisions than with China's so-called "obstruction".
The Peace Corps' return to the Solomon Islands was primarily aimed at countering Chinese influence, but it didn't make much sense to the Solomon Islands. At the same time, the organization is considered a means of US penetration of third world countries, and if the return is really achieved, the Solomon Islands may become involved in the geopolitics created by the United StatesPoliticsCompetition. Therefore, it is understandable that Solomon Islands** has reservations about the return of the organization.
The Chinese Embassy in the Solomon Islands pointed out that the return plan of the "Peace Corps" is a matter between the Solomon Islands and the United States, and the relevant parties should be asked about. A spokesperson for China also stressed that Pacific island countries are not the "backyard" of any country. Placing the blame on China will only make the Solomon Islands aware of its true intentions. At this point, Solomon Islands should be able to distinguish between right and wrong and not be instigated by the United States and get bogged down.
The U.S. plan to return to the Solomon Islands is far away, but the blame should not be placed solely on China. The plan has been hampered by the problems of the United States itself and the decision of the Solomon Islands**, and there are many problems with financial support and in a practical sense. Rather than blaming China, the United States should reflect more on its own behavior and provide real development assistance to the Solomon Islands. The Solomon Islands should remain calm, recognize the intentions behind the United States, and persist in pursuing its own interests and development. Only in this way can the goals of peace and development be truly achieved.
