Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference on April 19.
A reporter asked a question about the U.S. will send senior officials to visit the Solomon Islands in the next few days to discuss China-related issues.
Wang Wenbin said that the security cooperation between China and Solomon Islands is a manifestation and achievement of the continuous deepening of China-Solomony relations, the continuous enhancement of mutual trust between the two countries, and the continuous expansion of bilateral cooperation. The common interests and well-being of the people and the citizens of all countries are understood and supported by the host and other Pacific island countries.
I also noticed that the US embassy in the Solomon Islands has been closed for 29 years.
Reports indicate that the last time the US Secretary of State visited the Pacific island nation of Fiji was 37 years ago.
After a lapse of many years, senior U.S. officials suddenly mobilized a large group to visit the Pacific island countries. Whether they are concerned about the island countries or have other plans, everyone is very interested in this issue.
What we want to say is that Pacific island countries are not someone's "backyard", let alone a pawn in a geopolitical confrontation.
The island has the actual need for diversification of foreign cooperation, and also has the right to independently choose partners.
Deliberately exaggerating tension and inciting camp confrontation has no market in island countries, and attempts to interfere and obstruct island countries' cooperation with China are doomed to be futile.
China has always been a builder of peace and a promoter of stability in the South Pacific region.
While smearing China for no reason, some countries such as the United States forged a so-called "trilateral security partnership", introducing nuclear proliferation risks and Cold War mentality into the South Pacific region, seriously threatening regional security and stability.
It is more appropriate for them to wear the hat that damages the safety of the area.
