News Analysis: China has announced Billions of Dollars in Loans for Infrastructure Development for the various Pacific Ocean Islands. Electrification, and the like can only make the lives of Fijians and other islanders better off (from such funds).
China knows that potential customers, located anywhere, for its exports, are only capable of purchasing “After” they have reached a threshold level ABOVE ‘Subsistence’. This Chinese “Helping Hand” with Infrastructure Funds is much too important to ignore. Now, Fijians and others can develop their Islands so they have even greater ability to engage in International Import and Export.
Other Super-Powers should consider the benefits of “Dollar Diplomacy over Bayonet Diplomacy” (which some World Leaders seem to revel in).
People Intimidated by a Super-Power already have Fear in the Psyches; they are only One Step Away from its ‘Belligerent Brother’, Hate. They do NOT cooperate with those whom they Detest.
Reality.
