The Japs were there first but they were not consolidated and didn’t repel the initial landings. They were incapable of dislodging our troops once we were consolidated.

China is not imperialistic.

They are an ethnostate.

Territory belongs to whomever is willing to kill or drive off those who are trying to occupy it, or kill or drive off those who are occupying it.

This is one of the top five principles of all terrestrial life.

Xenophobes, but it seems to work for them.

On Guadalcanal. They were ensconced on Tulagi and in the northern Solomons. We had to root em out of Bougainville and New Georgia.

“The Solomons, Guadacanal, etc. cost the US Marines thousands of American lives.”

That was the Japanese not the Chinese. The U. S. has bases all over the world. China will follow suit. We cannot control which countries allow Chinese to maintain bases.

How much of the USA itself has been sold to China? If not given to them?

Didn’t they sign a deal with the Solomon Islands?

How did it come to that?

The Australian government has been waiting for this. Communism is coming.

I doubt very seriously the race superiority minded Chinese will treat the dead Japanese, American, Australian, and New Zealand seamen there with half the respect we do.

“Solomon Islands are free to choose their alliances.”

YEAH. We can always use another ally in pushing that line for Ukraine.

Ah, thank-you. I was focusing on Guadalcanal. You are 100% correct.

You went rogue from the approved talking points. That was a serious screw up. You probably caught Srewupatitus from Vlad. He’s at stage 4.

The Solomons are a British Commonwealth member, maybe Her Majesty should send a few RN ships down there to have a chat with their leader.
