Описание: China Using Gifts & Guns to Influence Pacific Nations? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China has spent millions of dollars to help the Solomon Islands prepare to host for the upcoming Pacific Games. China has built and gifted the country a national stadium.

China says there are no strings attached, but in recent years the nation has been getting closer to Beijing. Last year, the two signed a controversial security pact that could have led to Chinese weapons being secretly brought to the Solomon Islands.

Meanwhile, Vanuatu has ousted it's pro-west Prime Minister and the new PM wants to "revisit" a security pact with Australia. Is China's influence reshaping politics in the Pacific? Palki Sharma tells you more.
