Seize the opportunity? The opportunity of having parts of your country taken from you for a 99-year lease? The cautionary tale of Sri Lanka should be remembered for generations. Use China as leverage, however possible is that, but refrain from signing deals with them.

Recently the US Secretary of State zoomed to Fiji Island to have discussion with Pacific Island Leaders. The last time such visit happened was 37 years ago. His sole aim is to counter China's influence in that region.

America and the "Quad" are scared that China's aggressive business partnership, infrastructural loans and politically interference in the Pacific will make them loose a strategic partner.

The leaders of the Pacific should cease this opportunity and get the best economic deal. Since both China and US wants their partnership, these leader should consider the offers from both parties and secure the best deal. I am sure the Chinese would visit immediately after the American Secretary leaves the Pacific.

So.. the US is scared because they're visiting Fiji, and you're saying the Chinese should visit after.. because they're scared of losing Fiji? Not much sense to your ramblings. We live in an ever changing world where every country is trying to buy and trade influence, it is only relatively recently that China has turned into the world's factory and earned enough money to be able to offer other countries much in return. For many years they were solely focused inwards and had many troublesome policies that caused their own people immeasurable harm. China was doing much better before Xi Jinping came along and seems to be closing back up in some respects, they're getting more repressive and certainly don't look like a healthy partner if you like freedom, they also struggle to take criticism very well.

A small country or island should really take the advantage of dealing with both countries. They have no choice but to be neutral while these two superpowers are in tension.
These pacific islands should really be wise as they'll surely be used as a possible nearby camp for any of the country's military purposes. But being wise, they shall be neutral and still be mindful with the deals that they get in.

China has been aggressive in the last 10 years, even in the country where I live in (Southeast Asia), their influence are huge and to the point that you will think that they have made this country their province already, lol.

So it's just a matter of choice for countries around Pacific Island. Or better yet, their leader could play both countries and take advantage of what they are going to offer.

After part 1 was finished, the American cold war with the Soviets at that time was called the American cold war part one.
While currently entering the cold war part 2 between America and China.
This is actually extraordinary, China can become an opponent of the American superpower in the trade war sector.
What I know is that China can get like that because the salary or wages there are very cheap, it's all because so many people there.

You are absolutely right, a new area of economic competition (not an open war yet) is the Pacific area. On one side, you have Japan, Australia and the US and, on the other, essentially the China of Xi Jinping. Russia is around yes, but does not seem to have a major part.

It is only natural that China exerts an increasing influence as it grows and the population demands their share of world resources and it is no less natural that the US and others use all their diplomatic resources to maintain the status quo.

That is how china moves since then, there are already some countries that was sanctioned by china due to not paying its debt to them. They're getting more and more power because of this. That is why asking help from china is like a double edge sword, leaders knows that but ends up choosing to get a debt from china since they are most favorable and with "good" terms.
