Australia's Minister for Pacific Affairs, Pat Conroy, was interviewed when it came to policing in Pacific island countries, where he was eager to express his opposition to Chinese involvement.
Conroy's statement once again highlighted the impact of the intensification of the Sino-US game on the Pacific island countries. As some Pacific island nations move closer to China, the U.S. and Australia are increasingly anxious, especially since China signed a security cooperation framework agreement with the Solomon Islands, which Biden has shown great concern. Historically, the United States has closed off ties between Pacific island countries and other countries, and has frequently instigated events such as "color revolutions."
Today, the United States wants to "woo" the Pacific island countries, and its purpose is self-evident.
Australia, a loyal ally of the United States, is unhappy with China's growing influence in the Pacific island nations, particularly Kiribati's policing cooperation with China. China's assistance to Kiribati in policing is only in the nature of assistance, but it has aroused dissent from the United States. Conroy's remarks are closely linked to Australia's commitment to Kiribati's defence, revealing its concerns about Chinese involvement. Australia's double standards are questionable, with its commitment to training Pacific island nations' security forces while opposing China's policing cooperation.
This is not only a double standard, but also a reflection of Australia's long-standing exploitation of Pacific island countries.
After Kiribati resumed diplomatic relations with China, China provided extensive assistance, but the United States and Australia blocked it. Pacific countries should decide who to cooperate with, rather than being subject to the influence of the United States, Australia, and other countries. The actions of the United States and Australia are not only disgraceful, but also infringe on the autonomy of Pacific island countries.
