Asau Port, Samoa, was intended to be part of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative expansion. Tim Tufuga


Asau Port, Samoa was amongst the intended Chinese Strings of Pearl Chinese Blue Water Ports, as part of the Chiense Belt and Road Initiative. The Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP) Government had intended to construct a Chinese Port in Asau Port. (My ancetral land).

Australia and USA had ensured that the Tulagi Island, Solomon Island Chinese commercial and military port would not be constructed. Likewise with the Asau Port, Savai'i Island, Samoa, would also be prevented from progressing by the current FAST Samoan Government.

AUKUS and QUAD member Nations headed by the Anglo American Nations, Australia, Britain and The United States of America, would ensure that China would not be premitted to expand their Blue Water ambitions to the Pacific Islands. Solomon Islands had resisted the Anglo Americans but Samoa was to remain a pro Chinese Pacific Island Nation, until, the Human Rights Protection Party was replaced by an anti-Chinese FAST Political Party.

It appears that China will have to await a change of Government for the question of the Chinese Belt and Road, as well as, the Chinese Blue Water Navy Fleet are able to consider Samoa as a potential friendly port of call essential for the Chinese commercial trade and the Chinese People Liberation Army Navy Blue Water Vessels to replenish supplies for their Naval Surface Vessels and Submarines.

In 2030 and beyond, Samoa will be regarded as strategically important for China for the Belt and Road Initiative and of course for the Blue Water Chinese Fleet. My ancestral Village of Asau, will be considered as a highly sought after Savaii Harbour as considered by the Chinese Government.

Yesterday, the Indian Ambassador has presented his credentials to the Samoan Head of State, the Tui Aana. In the meantime, this year, 2023, India has officially become the most populous Nation on the Planet accounting for over 17.76% of the world's population. China is no longer the most populous Nation due to their One Child Family policies for half a century ago. The policy has worked reducing the Chinese natural growth significantly. In the meantime, China's economy is the second largest in the world, its development is by far greater than India, although, the Chinese economy has slowed down in the past two years, it is by far well ahead of India. India, was the only BRICS economy that had grown in 2023 whereas Russia and China had slowed down. India is still well behind in terms of local infrastructural development and modernity compared to Russia and certainly compared to China today. In the meantime, the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is developing their Blue

Samoa the Chinese Blue Water Power Projection in the Pacific Region. US Navy attempts to ugrade to meet the challenge. By Tim Brian Tufuga 11th April 2023.

The USN are responding to the Chinese Naval build up. However, the Chinese are building their ships faster and more of vessels comparable to the Americans. Needless to say, the Americans are building more Virginia Class Submarines 13. More Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers (13) and one more Zumult Class Destroyer. And three more Aircraft Carriers which I think are pointless since Aircraft Carriers as a Force projection presence within the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Pacific Oceans, are strategic overstretch as the Chinese are focused on the South China Sea, Japanese Sea, and the Philippines Sea region and the Western Pacific region, depending on Samoa's acceptance of the Chinese Military port in Samoa will determine the Chinese military Blue Water power projection and will be the purview of the Chinese Military sphere of influence in the Pacific. Samoa will be the strategic target for the Chinese in projecting their Central Blue Water presence in the Pacific Region wher
