So it's OK for the Yanks, French and British to use our part of the world to test their Nuclear Bombs but we don't want the Chinese to come in to set up trade links in the Islands?
Parents working in Aussie and not staying with their Kids or as a family will cause a rise to social issues. Already some families are facing issues with only one parent going to work in a farm while the other half stays home. This Labor mobility program boost is actually for the Interest of Aussie due to China influence in Solomon etc...this program needs improvement.

Wow! It's interesting to hear a former Pacific Island leader refer to Australia as 'parents'. The deep roots colonialism is still imbeded in some Pacific nations. It will take a generation to get over the ideology of being a 2nd class citizen in your own country.
Let the Pacific choose their own alliances.
In China, (1) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to carry out military activities in their respective countries (National Defense Mobilization Law, effective in 2010); (2) the state can force Chinese nationals at home and abroad to do spy activities in their respective countries. (National Intelligence Law, effective 2017). Chinese citizens who do not follow the instructions and orders of the Chinese government will be arrested and have no option to decline. Together, these two laws create the most dangerous security situation for each country.
Some negative consequences are allowing use of Chinese military to suppress and shoot protestors, which can keep autocrats in power.
Chinese ships sailed the south china sea, east china sea, pacific ocean around Asia, Africa for over two thousand years....did not turn these people into slaves, did not colonise. The western powers came and not even a fraction of the time later, did all these terrible things .. Australia, Guam, Hawaii, New Zealand were robbed from the indigenous people n still not returned. So save your holy than thou attitude n fake concern
The west has dominated the pacific islands and Africa for hundreds of years. The results are there for everyone to see. Can you blame these people for wanting to try some alternative?
酸溜溜的澳大利亚
the kangaroo has been keep talking about conducting its own foreign policies as an independent nation.
how this double speak nation talk about their small neighbors on their foreign policies?
so, just because the kangaroo consider those tinny nations as the backyard little nations and do not allow them to conduct their independent foreign policies? is this a kangaroo version of its big brother foreign policies?
Where is China located? I guess the Pacific. Why should China be working with these islands. They have been a group of inferior nations to our great white Australian nation. They should serve at our pleasure. Just like rest of the south east Asia. We are superior... And we don't care about these people. Wait, big bad China is here, and our master is angry, we are told to stop acting white is superior, at least on surface.. alright, we better get to it then.
