China targeting to expand influence in South-Pacific

| @indiablooms | Jun 11, 2022, at 01:34 am

Beijing: China is aiming to expand its influence and power over the South-Pacific and keeping thai in mind Beijing has implemented nearly 500 complete plant projects and concessional loan projects to deepen its comprehensive strategic partnership with the Pacific Island Countries.

But the real intent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is to lead a South Pacific grouping, come what may.

Undeterred by the rejection of its trade and security deal by these countries in May end, the Chinese government has revealed a medium-term, multi-pronged initiative to pummel the countries with ‘goodies’ to soften them enough to get what it wants to draw the 10 Pacific nations into its orb of influence to project its power, The Singapore Post reported as quoted by ANI.

In a recent 10-day trip to Indo-Pacific, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi familiarised the countries with his government’s format of a deal that was short-circuited by concerns that it could “threaten regional stability” and further took a tactical step backwards and excluded “security” from the issues he originally wanted to include into the deal.

China will release its own position paper on our own positions and propositions and cooperation proposals with Pacific Island countries and going forward we will continue to have ongoing and in-depth discussions and consultations to shape more consensus on cooperation, however, the paper is a typical gambit of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) where it makes generalised statements unilaterally, assuming that the targeted countries will have no objection to them, Singapore Post said, citing sources as quoted by ANI.
