China and the Solomon Islands have signed a deal on police cooperation, fuelling unease in the West about Beijing’s growing influence in the South Pacific. Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing. It is the Solomon leader’s first visit to the country since sealing the controversial security pact with China last year. The two sides have upgraded their relations to a comprehensive strategic partnership, further deepening ties four years after the Pacific nation cut diplomatic relations with Taiwan. The police pact is one of nine new agreements signed.

China is one of the most peaceful countries in the world. It has not invaded any other countries in the last hundreds of years. In contrast, the US travelled thousands of miles to kill millions of civilians during the wars in Afghanistan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Iraq, Kosovo Montenegro Serbia, and Libya. It had killed the most civilians after the WW2.
There were 60 million US Native Red Indians in 1492. The population dropped by more than 83% to less than 10 million in 2021.
China has a Cuba closer to the US so Solomon island can be flexible
Good job
Controversy or not, many countires on earth are switching their diplomatics from Taiwan to the PRC…most importantly, most countries on earth love to work with China than the U S A.
無論紅黑黃白種人

Congratulation Solomon President make the right choice for his country better future and his citizens get more benefit for their living much better ❤👍🇨🇳 🤝 🇸🇧

intj entj enfj intp estj istp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done!
Well done
Let's also remember that almost 70% of the entire income of the Solomon Islands comes from Chinese trade so their good relationship in other ways is no surprise.
As per usual the US completely misses the mark. It's not a geopolitical tussle, it's an economic one and the US hasn't even made an attempt to fight in that arena. In which case they're never going to win it.
India should join also 😂😂
CNA should be ashamed in their constant China bashing news propaganda. You never mention about America encircling China with military bases creating tension in the region. Stop being a bloody American Stooge. Majority of your population are Chinese with ties to China. Your current PM and the next one have ancestry with China. Lee Kuan Yew's father came from China. Your Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew had benefited Singapore with good relationship with China and he warned Singaporens about American dangerous political intervention into this peaceful region in many interviews. CNA have now degenerated into a political mouthpiece for America.
Pretty soon those western media (BBC, CNN….etc) will post that the Chinese have secret police stations across Solomon islands same as what they posted in the past (found secret Chinese police stations across Britain and in US also at Manhattan's Chinatown)
Seem like another Chinese secret police station western propaganda is about to come up soon. 😂 🤣

"The $25 million in aid to Malaita has spread concerns that Washington is aid for geopolitical gain vis-s-vis China."

Let's not forget Chinese shops were deliberately targeted and burned during the riots.

US should bomb solomon island ASAP
Solomon Island PM is more powerful and influential than U.S. so called President and all G7 groups of nations and Alliance puppets governments in the world . Inking Police Cooperation with China to mitigate Climate Change makes by U.S. warmongers , to protect Coral reef around Solomon Island seas from seas water rise and water circulation in seas .
Looking at the title of your video "…. including one on police cooperation", looks like CNA is trying to propagandise subtly thinking viewers are fools who can't see through what the CNA is trying to do.
Love the new friendship ❤
Time to overthrow CCP.
CNA be neutral station for spreading accurate information to the world. what are you talking about Solomon island & PRC signed agreements are uneasy for the US?
what about US has military agreement with papua new Guinea in 5/2023? why not mention about this?
If Taiwan is one china policy then china is not a new partner to solomon islands..
South Pacific countries are sovereign nations. They are not anyone's backyard or colonies.
Solomon Islands must protect it's own interests.
never trust the…C…… wrong chess move
Excellent China solomon is doing the correct choice . Good policing China
I love China
US and other countries it is your problem
But solo is with china
Nothing sinister about this agreement…just China helping another country !! We should praise China rather than conjuring ideas on that China wants to dominate others , etc… USA has known Solomon's islands for years and did nothing!!!
The US has been resting on its laurels and doing nothing at all to benefit the Solomon Islands. It should come as no surprise then that the vacuum got filled with promises to deliver that came from China. The West ignored Africa for as long as living memory goes and are now surprised that China came in. The attitude of the US and the West to the Solomon Islands and Africa alike are like a cat that has caught a rat and keeps nudging it with its paw while the rat is half dead and the cat only nudges it every so often to make sure it is still alive. The cat then springs to action when a crow comes along and snatches the rat away.
Congratulations between China and Solomon Islands!!
