China’s influence casts shadow over South Pacific diplomatic summit as Taiwan reference removed - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

NUKU’ALOFA, Tonga—Turmoil over China’s push for influence in the South Pacific has overshadowed the region’s most important diplomatic summit after a Pacific island leader apparently pledged to erase an affirmation of Taiwan’s involvement in the meeting from its closing statement, at Beijing’s behest.

As the forum’s partner nations presented their offerings to Pacific leaders on Wednesday, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the United States and China had pledged to work together to find areas of cooperation on Pacific projects.

The Pacific Islands Forum began in 1971 for leaders to coordinate responses to the issues confronting a remote, diverse region where individual nations hold little solo sway on the global stage.
