If seal is indeed rising, how much has it risen by ? Some of those thousand year old Roman wharfes/jetties should be easily measured.
What are the figures on the rate of Islands subsiding ?
Perhaps if it was all the additional weight of Indians taking over Fiji that makes the islands gradually sink ?

indy the evidence is there, we know sea levels have risen
This morning [back on subject]China has warned us, keep out of their concerns
Others have warned us, to focus our defense on the Pacific ocean not the middle east
The Pacific Islands tell us China Respects them not us
Anyone still think we should not worry about China

Another group we should be worried about is our own government. Morrison has not come out with any official statement about the China threat - unlike his predecessor. How weak does that make Morrison! He can't even emulate Turnbull. And the Opposition is useless. Yes. We should be very worried about China. We should also be worried about Australian politicians, the only people who can deal with the China threat. Will they do so? So far the answer is probably not.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald,
18th August 2019, China's ambassador to Australia
has warned the Morrison Government not to intervene
in its affairs by supporting the "violent radicals"
in Hong Kong as diplomatic tensions escalate across
the region.

Ambassador Cheng Jingye told The Sydney Morning Herald
and The Age that the affairs of Hong Kong were "solely
the internal affairs of China" warning that any effort
to "mess up"the former British outpost was doomed to
fail as pro-democracy protestors there again gathered
en masse on Sunday.

The intervention follows escalating rhetoric between
Canberra and Beijing after Prime Minister Scott Morrison
urged Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam to - "Listen
carefully"and work towards a peaceful resolution.

The Chinese ambassador has re-assured Mr Morrison that
China intends to keep its " One country, two systems,"
agreement regarding Hong Kong.

Personally I feel that Mr Morrison is taking the right
approach at present. He is asking for calm and peaceful
negotiations, while at the same time he is not agreeing
with the use of the rhetoric like "terrorism" that China
is using to describe the protestors. Morrison is standing
by Australia's interests and values. He is making our
position clear.

Further to my list telling why we should be concerned
Chinese government is putting pressure on its people living here
Students here are being spied on by their government
Too protests , both for and against the actions in Hong Kong, are finding both for and against supporters even being a little violent to each other here
China is a danger to Democratic Countries,using trade and even hacking, to try to influence how we think
