What we can do if intelligently led is provide locally manufactured or sourced, goods and services that in the long run will provide better outcomes for the recipients than millions placed in the hands of, as the writer confirms, corrupt official hands.
What the Pacific needs now is affordable energy and real action on runaway climate change. And that energy is affordable carbon-free nuclear SMR power plants, i.e., MSR thorium modules that can be built/mass produced in around 6 months. Done before elsewhere! Very doable therefore/ and packed inside shipping container sized containers. And able to be towed, trucked or choppered into wherever they can replace diesel powered generators.
The Author has called the Chinese out along with their real intentions which have SFA to do with promoting local indigenous outcomes/improvement, but rather, on acquiring their mineral and natural resources, minerals, timber, fish stocks, ports, airfields and arable production.
And as such puts Australia, her massive resources and Australians in the cross hairs of the expansionist CCP! TBC.
