Visiting the Polynesian kingdom of Tonga on Wednesday, US Secretary Antony Blinken warned the South Pacific islands to be on guard in their relations with Beijing, while promising them a brighter future as friends of Washington.
“We’re a Pacific nation,” Blinken told reporters at a joint press conference in Nuku’alofa with the Tongan prime minister, Hu’akavemeiliku Siaosi Sovaleni. “We very much see the future in the Indo-Pacific region.” ...
Blinken’s visit to Tonga came just two weeks after the Solomon Islands signed nine bilateral agreements on economic, technical and policing cooperation with China. Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare dismissed US and Australian objections to the deal as “nothing but interference by foreign states into the internal affairs” of his nation.
To counter China’s growing influence, the US reopened its embassy in the Solomons in January, after a 30-year absence. There are currently two temporary staff on duty in Honiara. The new embassy in Tonga, officially opened in May, also has two temporary staff. RT
The Americans conveniently forgot about the existence of the Pacific Islanders for 30 long years. Did not know they were there, did not care about them, withdrew all embassy support, closed down their embassies, and happily went around the world to stir troubles and fight wars.
While the Americans were away busily invading countries and massacring innocent citizens of countries calling them terrorists, and looting their countries, China was there in the Pacific Ocean, quietly helping the islanders to build their infrastructures, schools, hospitals, state buildings, roads and ports and trading with them. No trouble, no tension, no instability, no wars, because the warmongers and the world's number one terrorist state was not there.
Suddenly, because Solomon Islands are signing bilateral agreements on economic, technical and policing cooperation, the world's number one terrorist state panic. How could this happened without them knowing? So they are now rushing to the Pacific Islands to tell them they are friends and would help them and China is trouble. China has been there helping the Pacific Islanders for 30 long years without any trouble. The Americans did not know, did not care about the Pacific Islanders. Now, the first thing they do is to stir trouble, telling the Pacific Islanders that the country, China, that has been helping them, trading with them, is trouble.
The Americans think the Pacific Islanders are daft, did not know what is happening, cannot see what China had done to their countries and what the world's number one terrorist state had been doing around the world and neglecting them.
The Americans can lie so some people some of the time. But they cannot lie to all the people all the time. Trouble makers are trouble makers. Liars are liars. Agent of hate and liars would not be trusted by anyone. The Africans and Middle Eastern Arabs can smell them from a mile. The Latin Americans have been living under their oppression and curse as if the Americans own them, like slave states. All of them are not going to have anything to do with the white savages. Their days are numbered and soon would be passe.
Meanwhile China had achieved thorium nuclear power breakthrough:

Blinken Insults Tonga's Intelligence, Offers Very Little Help & Obstructs Other Countries' Helping Hands
ReplyDeleteUpon arrival at Tonga's capital Nuku'alofa on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wasted no time throwing mud at China.
This time, he called Beijing's engagement in the region "problematic behavior" and Chinese investment "predatory" that would hurt the local economy.
Behind the China-bashing cliche, Blinken, the first U.S. state secretary to visit Tonga, was actually asking the island nation to take sides and making the region a new arena of rivalry, but he should understand that smearing others' normal cooperation is a real problematic behavior. His accusation is not only an attack on China, but also unwise questioning of Tonga's judgment on choosing partners as a sovereign country.
At a joint press conference after his meeting with Blinken on Wednesday, Tongan Prime Minister Siaosi Sovaleni told the U.S. guest that his country had no concerns about its relationship with China.
When Tonga was faced with multiple challenges, including volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, China often rushed to its assistance. As facts have proven, China's friendship has always been based on deeds rather than words, Tongan King Tupou VI has said.
In the broader Pacific islands, China has carried out a large number of assistance projects that meet the actual needs of the countries it tries to help. These projects have strongly promoted local economic development and improved people's livelihood. While offering help, China always fully respects the sovereignty and independence, as well as the will and the cultural traditions of the countries assisted.
Based on its own development experience, China has conducted mutually beneficial cooperation with other developing countries by upholding justice and pursuing shared interests, and provided assistance without attaching any political strings.
Such cooperation has greatly promoted economic and social development as well as people's livelihood in relevant countries. The Mombasa-Nairobi Railway financed and built by China has created nearly 50,000 jobs for Kenya. By the end of 2022, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor has brought 25.4 billion U.S. dollars in direct investment to Pakistan and created 236,000 jobs. The list goes on.
If the U.S. really cares about the development of the Pacific islands, Washington should first apologize and fully compensate for the damage caused by its over 60 nuclear tests in the region, address the islands' pressing challenges of climate change with concrete actions, and focus on the real needs of local people, rather than sending senior officials to stage a runway-show-like diplomatic campaign.
And if the United States is truly committed to a better future and the well-being of the people in other parts of the world, it should stop slinging mud at China, and instead join hands with China to help countries in need.
A country that offers very little help, but tries very hard to obstruct other countries' helping hands, and even pursues its own interests at the expense of others', does not measure up to the image of a respectable major power.

The sickest country on earth is displaying the 'dead chicken kicks rice cooker lid' syndrome. In Cantonese it's sei kai yang farn koi. Once dedollarisation sets in, they will be steamed chicken.
