China is playing the long game in the Pacific. Here's why its efforts are beginning to pay off

A week-long trip to Beijing by the Pacific’s most flamboyant statesman Manasseh Sogavare, was always going to cause concern in Canberra.

Key Points: 
  • A week-long trip to Beijing by the Pacific’s most flamboyant statesman Manasseh Sogavare, was always going to cause concern in Canberra.
  • Nine agreements were also signed covering everything from civil aviation and infrastructure to fisheries and tourism.
  • The prime minister declared “I’m back home” when he arrived in Beijing in a clip posted by China Global Television Network.

China’s slow start in the Pacific

    • (We could start by accepting that Sogavare will never love us, and avoid getting into an arms race in the Solomon Islands with China.)
    • Relative to other regions, it has a lack of historical state ties with the Pacific.
    • Most of China’s own Pacific experts were baffled when the region was belatedly included in the project.

Diplomats with serious intent

    • Under his tenure as Fijian ambassador, a Taiwanese representative was assaulted by Chinese diplomats for the crime of displaying a Taiwanese flag cake.
    • Yet, other appointments suggest China is appointing higher-calibre diplomats to the region.
    • More serious representatives suggest more serious intent.

Chinese companies exerting influence, too

    • Many company men (in construction, where Chinese companies dominate, they’re mostly men) are based in the region for decades, developing a deep understanding of how to win projects and influence political elites.
    • Failed projects generate plenty of headlines, but many companies – such as COVEC PNG and China Railway First Group – are effective operators.
    • For larger state-linked companies, like China Harbor Engineering Company and the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), the geopolitical game has shifted.
    • In the past, they could rely on their standing within the Chinese political system (their parent companies often outrank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to resist pressure to act on behalf of state.
