- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
To back down from having a military base one has to have had plans to have a Chinese base to be built in the first place... Just pointing that out because Solomon Islands PM was adamant that it was not even on the horizon... interesting.
I really wish news editors would stop with the fake news head lines... Solomon Islands has not backed down have not changed there tune. They have said all along there is no plan for a Chinese military base and that is what they are saying now.
