Support for laying submarine optical cables in Palau, Japan, the United States and Australia The aim of China's control is also October 28, 18:05

Japan, the United States, and Australia, which are strengthening cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, will support the laying of optical cables on the seabed that connect to Palau, an island nation in the South Pacific.


It also seems to be aimed at restraining China, which is becoming more influential in the South Pacific region.

This was revealed on the 28th by Australian Foreign Minister Payne in a statement.



According to this, Japan, the United States, and Australia will jointly spend 30 million dollars and 3.1 billion yen in Japanese yen to support the laying of optical cables on the seabed connecting to Palau, an island country in the South Pacific Ocean.



In the future, Foreign Minister Payne said, "To bring stable, transparent and high-quality infrastructure to the region, we plan to connect to a cable that crosses the Pacific Ocean, which is under construction between the West Coast of the United States and Singapore. It is a joint contribution, "he emphasized the significance of the support.



In recent years, China has become more influential in the island nations of the South Pacific region through huge amounts of aid, and many countries have diplomatic relations with China by breaking with Taiwan.



Palau is one of the few countries in the region that maintains diplomatic relations with Taiwan and is strengthening its security ties. This support from Japan, the United States and Australia will restrain China. It seems that there is also an aim.
