Tong also raised concerns about the recent visit by China's foreign minister to Tarawa.
"The Chinese foreign minister went through here for a few hours last month and there was a deal signed," he said.
"Nobody knows what that deal is. And so that maybe part of the whole process.""I have seen expressions in the past in which the president [Maamau] confirmed China was going to assist in the development of Canton Islands ... a former US military base and it was in closer proximity to Hawaii. So, we are very strategically located," he said.

it's worth pointing out that if China's developments at Canton Airport come to fruition and have an overt military component, they could also include other anti-access and area denial capabilities, such as surface-to-air missiles or shore-based anti-ship cruise missiles.
Command and control and communications nodes might be another addition to any such military complex.
This would all be similar to what has been seen on China's man-made outposts in the South China Sea, which also simply underscore the country's demonstrated ability to turn remote, uninhabited islands into important military facilities.www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40471/china-wants-to-revive-a-strategically-located-military-airfield-deep-in-pacific-report

So the US have American Samoa. They have Guam. They have Japan. The US have 11 aircraft careers.
China now have a grand total of three, but only one comparable to any of the US's 11.
The US have bases literal fucking everywhere, surrounding China, and when China do a tiny fraction of what the US has been doing for the last 90 years, everyone gets their knickers in a twist.
Why?

Why? communism v democracy... Russia's invasion of Ukraine might be a good example? |

And the US invasion of Iraq, over throw of at least 70 governments because they wouldn't do as they were told.
Payng the Saudis to destroy Yemen because they wouldn't hand over their oil.... Venezuela the same...
Need we mention nuclear bombing civilians.... The Biden family dirty deeds...
Your rising standard of living In NZ is supported by the Chinese Industry, the problems NZ faces are mostly imported from the US culture

What was the name of that Iranian General the US assissinated with a drone in Iraq?
What is rendition?
What actually happened in Guatanamo bay?
Why did the US invade Iraq, Afganistan, Veitnam?
Seriously, how many wars has China started? America is the biggest war monger of the last century.
America is a dangerous and violent country on the world stage.
What business is it of America to completely screw Iran? Is it because they chucked the British and Americans out in '79 and took back control of their natural resources?
What is America doing in Venezuela?
America has exerted control and dominance around the world for a century. Now China feel like doing just a fraction of what America is doing, everyone gets their knickers in a twist.

Anyone want to mention abortion rights?
Couple of photos of a 40 yr old Chinese protest. How many photos can we find of police brutality in the US.
If you are black you'd have a different view. Risk of getting shot while driving as a black is high...

Far canal guys!!!... Sure the yanks make bad calls when trying to sort out world conflict.
But don't forget what China does to its own of people.
Who do you want in your back yard?
Having said that China would be a better bet for peace if they weren't aligned with Russia.
If the US was weak China's " kind face" would soon disappear

were you to live in china
with your penchant for slagging off the gov.
you would have been locked up and subject to some serious re-education
and if you were able to hold your tongue, the brainwashing would nevertheless be relentless
