While we have concurrent discussions on China Vanuatu, I will reply here as it is best suited. It is a wake-up call for both Australia and New Zealand, whether there is or is not reality, and it has made the two foreign policy concerns think harshly.

That is worrying because it is a true cause of impact and I think our two could do more and that the South Pacific states have taken it for granted when the RNZN started using the RPCs as an example in their area.
