China is seeking to “expand” into the Pacific, making Australia, Japan, and the United States nervous. e.g. The Solomon Islands are located in the South Pacific, 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometers) from the shore of Australia and circa 3,500 miles (5,600 kilometers) from Hawaii. It serves as a good strategic point to extend across Oceania and Asia. In early April 2022, the People’s Republic of China and the Solomon Islands signed a security pact that caused many worries in Washington D.C., Canberra, and Tokyo. What do you think will happen if China succeeds in “expansion” ?
