So a 'growing consensus' meaning more Pacific leaders are lining up to sell out to China? Just asking questions.

NZ Herald2026-07-05T18:59:35.000Z

cos China's security deals have worked out so well for the Solomons. They're not even paying their debts.

what they sow? Man everyone's got to make a living. China's been building roads while others just talk.

Interesting timing... right after the US gave Fiji a coast guard boat. Bigger forces at play here folks.

Tom Harris2026-07-05T19:24:35.000Z

Yeah nah, regional security sounds good to me if it means fewer conflicts. But who's actually benefitting here?

Chloe Martin2026-07-05T19:52:35.000Z

Exactly. Aus and NZ have been neglecting the Pacific for decades. Can't blame them for looking elsewhere.

Wale's just playing both sides like every Pacific leader. Give it a year and he'll be photo-oping in Beijing.

Why'd you think they call it a troika? Three's company but the Pacific is getting crowded with players.

Mate I'm tired of these agreements. We had the Rome Declaration, now this. Same crap different day.

Casey Adams2026-07-05T20:32:35.000Z

Facts. Just say it how it is mate.

Whatever keeps the peace honestly. Just hope they don't forget about climate funding in all this security talk.

Chloe Martin2026-07-05T20:25:35.000Z

bet this is just another way for Australia to act like the big brother of the Pacific. Let the islands decide their own future ffs.

Eva Anderson2026-07-05T20:33:35.000Z

As a student studying Pacific affairs this is fascinating but also worrying. Hope our leaders actually listen to the communities.

Reese Morgan2026-07-05T21:29:35.000Z

is cheap mate. Show me the money for climate adaptation or I'm not interested.

Jack Morrison2026-07-05T20:45:35.000Z

All I see is a bunch of suits talking while our islands sink. Show me action not more photo ops.

Eva Anderson2026-07-05T21:11:35.000Z

It's not just suits, community consultations do happen. But media never covers those boring meetings aye.

Sam North2026-07-05T20:51:35.000Z

Bloody hell, another round of geopolitical chess with our homes as pawns. Can't we just have nice things?
