Cleopascal from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy is with me.

We're commenting,

Clers in Manila, I'm in the East Coast United States,

commenting on the Pacific Island Forum underway. In Tanga,

this is part of the vastness of Oceania, and the Tangle is over who is going to pay for and who is responsible

a policing plan for Oceania, the 18 member nations of the Pacific Island Forum.

Policing is what I can connect with.

And I recall Clio, thank you for your guiding me on this,

that policing was a major component of the wedge that the People's Republic of China managed to use to separate the Solomon Islanders in a flap for these last years.

Now the Solomon Islands under a new Prime Minister, although he's very much like the old

Prime Minister, is an agent of chaos in Oceania

at the direction of the People's Republic of China. Hence at the Pacific Island Forum,

China is urging the Solomon Islands to complain that Taiwan is an

observer status at the PIF and it should leave the room and leave the island. In

other words the Solomon Islands fell under the boot of the PRC. There are

other ambitions of other parts of Oceania. As I recall, it turned on policing. There was a riot, there was disorder,

having to do with the imperiousness of the PRC

and the previous Prime Minister, so Gavari. The Australian showed up in police. the

previous prime minister so gavari the Australian showed up in police and then the Chinese showed up at police and I

remember weapons turning up to I remember all that correctly Cleo
