Calls
for Australia to INVADE the Solomon Islands, 'engineer' regime change
before it strikes a deal with China: 'This is our Cuban missile crisis'
Hegemonic and colonist mentality behind Australia’s threats to invade Solomon Islands
It's
ridiculous that Australia, on one hand, has closely followed the US in
condemning what it perceives Russia's "brutal and unprovoked invasion"
of Ukraine, but on the other, its elites bluntly threatened to invade
its neighbor in the South Pacific and foster a regime change.
A
Reuters report on Thursday saying that a proposal for a broader security
agreement with China that would be sent to the Solomon Islands' cabinet
for consideration has caused shockwaves through Canberra. David
Llewellyn-Smith, founding publisher of MacroBusiness and former owner of
leading Asia-Pacific foreign affairs journal The Diplomat, suggested a
day later that Australia "must ready Solomon Islands invasion." Calling
the China-Solomon Islands deal "Australia's Cuban missile crisis," Smith
said "If it must, the nation [Australia] should invade and capture
Guadalcanal such that we engineer regime change in Honiara" to protect
Australia's "sovereignty and democracy."
Australian elites
threatened to invade Solomon Islands simply because the latter hopes to
strengthen security cooperation with China. Canberra has carried out
much military cooperation with the US, including signing the AUKUS deal
that will help it acquire nuclear-powered submarines. Don't Canberra's
actions pose a greater threat to China?
This shows the hypocrisy
and double standards of Australia's frantic elites. It also lays bare
Australia's ingrained hegemonic and colonialist mentality toward South
Pacific island countries. Australia has no respect for the Solomon
Islands and other South Pacific island countries at all, instead, it has
long regarded them as its backyard, treating island countries in the
region as sphere of influence or even vassal states. When these
countries hope to expand relations with others, Australia instantly
reacts hysterically.
Australia is trying to obstruct the
Solomon Islands' normal cooperation with China even with the threat of
an invasion. This shows Australia's obsession with hegemonism. Australia
has long been seeking to be the "minor hegemon" in the South Pacific
region. To this end, Australia maliciously distorted the security
cooperation between China and the Solomon Islands.
The bilateral
cooperation in law enforcement and security areas in fact is a response
to last year's riots in the Solomon Islands during which Chinese
nationals there suffered great losses with their shops smashed, burned
and looted and their personal safety in jeopardy. Given the presence of
Chinese nationals in the Solomon Islands and with the development and
expansion of normal ties between the two countries, it's natural for the
two sides to beef up security cooperation.
The waning of the
Australian influence in the South Pacific region is because of
Australia's hegemonic mindset toward those countries. No country in the
region would expect Australia, which can easily threaten to invade, to
truly help its development.

PS. China must stand up and defend the Solomon Islands and its right to establish good relations with the Islands and all Pacific Islands. It must not allow this white rogue country to bully the Pacific Island community.

And Australia at one corner of the globe has been most vocal in cbastising China for not condemning Russia while viewed as 'understandable and respected" with
India doing the same.
Even a mongrel would stop barking wben its not getting its way if its sees double standard.
If World-war 3 does happen, Indonesia should take over Australia, New Zealand and gives N Zealand to the Natives of the Two to share as only a tiny number of the Natives are around. N Zealand alone shall be good for the Natives to live well for a long time.
The White Qccupiers of Australia and N Zealand have to return the Lands they invaded and occupied. Period
That is why if countries follow their 'Rule of Law', there is actually no law, just 'Rule of Bullshits'. It is what we should call selective application of bullshit law.
What difference is there if Australia invades Solomon Islands and compare it to Russia's war on Ukraine? Oh yes, one is a White country and the other coloured and invasion is therefore legalised. I hope those 'Principled' ones see the hypocrisy if it happens.
