Wang Yi says China's Pacific island ties not geopolitical rivalry
Original: China’s Pacific island ties not part of ‘geopolitical rivalry’, Wang Yi says
China's foreign minister Wang Yi said Beijing's relations with Pacific island nations are not part of any 'geopolitical rivalry', pushing back against criticism that its growing engagement in the region is aimed at countering the United States and its allies. The remarks come as China deepens diplomatic and economic ties with Pacific countries, a development Western governments view with increasing concern.
Why now: China's expanding influence among Pacific island nations is a contested issue between Beijing and Western powers.
