In the statement, the White House pointed out: "The United States delegation stated to the party that if China has permanent military existence, launching forces or military facilities here, the United States will seriously concern and take corresponding response measures."
The White House emphasized that the United States will negotiate with regional partners and pay close attention to the development of the region.The United States has not disclosed what response will be made, but experts point out that there are not many options in the United States.Cheng Bin, a Chinese expert at the American Think Tank "Traditional Foundation", pointed to Reuters: "The United States can reduce assistance to Solomon, but this will only push this Pacific island country to the embrace of China."
RAND Researcher Grosmann, a researcher at Rand, believes that the United States can accelerate the establishment of a base in northeastern Australia to monitor the Chinese army or conduct more naval patrols in the area, but this may not be able to playToo much fun, because the United States and Australia entered the venue too late, let China win the first safe foothold in Oceania.
