https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-west-rivalry-hits-pacific-093000801.htmlChina's top diplomat met senior officials in the Solomons capital Honiara to hail the "spirit of South-South cooperation of mutual support and mutual assistance"
Instead of the messy concept of "Global South":
why not just talk about cooperation between fellow former victims of Western colonialism?
"The West is worried that once China's ties with the Pacific Islands are strong enough, when China asks to establish a military base in the region, these islands would say yes, and this would allow China to break through the so-called two island chains."
It would be a gesture of goodwill for the US to dismantle these itself.
