China Navy face off with the Royal Australian Navy. Chinese Divers injured with the Sonar pulse affecting the hearing and ears of the Australian Divers. (The alleged Culprit, a Russian Sovremenny Destroyer Class, the Chinese Type 956 Destroyer, The Ningbo, ) It happened in October during Australian PM Albanese visit to China, to meet President Xi. This incident happened and was not reported to the media due to damaging Chinese Australian attempt at rapproachement. Presently, the Australian navy are patrolling the Philippines Sea with the Philippines Navy near Sprateley Islands. The Chinese and Australians will have another round soon. The Chinese have thrown the gauntlet and awaiting the Australian response. Economically, China is moving towards Africa in changing their Iron Ore mineral source away from their AUKUS enemy in Australia and Philippines, Japan, South Korea and other adversaries within the region. China with BRICS are moving away from their Western Trading partners. It is b...

China will have the most powerful Navy by 2030. Although with only 5 Aircraft Carriers and many Destroyers and litorral ships, China will beomce the preeminent superpower Blue Water Navy and will grow ever more powerful than the waning American Naval power. Moreover, as the world continues to plummet into regional skirmishes NATO continues to wane in their overstretched commitments worldover. In the meantime, China remains unscathed by the perpetual degradation of former colonial powers through regional wars, with Ukraine and now Israel, the Middle East will focus on Palestine whilst the USS Gerald Ford attempts to stifle any Palestinaian escalation to include Syria, Egypt and Iran into the the Palestinian Israeli conflict. The gamble taken by the Hamas was to bring forth the global Neo Nazi movement to be enticed into the Anti Zionism and anti Jewish fervour. The recent Ukrainian Neo Nazism has been noticed by the Arab circles especially amongst the Hamas, the Sunni Muslim Brotherhood...

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...

J35 and the Fujian launch. The J35 is ready for the Chinese Navy. The J35 when once the Fuljian is fully operational in 2024 will replace all J15s as the main Chinese combat aircraft on all three and potentially four Chinese Aircraft Carriers by 2030. The Chinese will have air superiority and dominance not only within the Green water and litorral waters but also within the Blue Water Naval combat zones. Which means that the Chinese Navy is now able to reach Samoa Islands in the middle of the Pacific with their Carrier Strike Groups and not feel intimidated by the American Carrier Strike Groups and their AEGIS systems and certainly not feel intiminated by the American JSF35s at all. In Naval ship counter measures, the Chinese possess, the Chinese anti ship YJ21 hypersonic missiles, the Rail guns, Laser Weapons systems, as well as anti ship supersonic sea skimming YJ 18 cruise missiles, which may be launched from the Type 054D Frigates and the most lethal Ship in the world, the Large Typ...

Last week, A Chinese C919 domestically constructed commercial aircraft made a maiden flight to Samoa. Landed at the Faleolo Airport and some 200 Chinese tourists disembarked and flooded the Hotels in throughout Samoa. The Samoans were caught by surprise with the Chinese tourism flight, Chinese tourist walked and embarked chartered buses waving their minature Chinese Communist Party Flags amongst the Samoans who were surprised and were very grateful for the sudden influx of Chinese tourist Dollars in the thousands with their very brief stay in Samoa. In the meantime, China had shown off their new commercial aircraft and were proposing to the Samoan Government a purchase at a competitive price of one of their C919 Aircrafts brand spanking new for the Samoan Government to serious consider purchasing and having named Samoa Airways. Samoa are in desperate need for two major tourism concerns flight route paths for Samoan tourists and an domestic carrier. China has considered Samoa as a likel...

  A geo-political ploy as well as an important economic boast for the Samoan economy. Over 200 Chinese Tourists arrive in Samoa.   (Samoa Global News) The Sino-Samoan relations are bolstered with a direct flight between China to Samoa in a bid to bridge the cultural geo political divide between Samoa and China. In a likely boast to China's blue water reach it is imperative that the Samoan bilateral relations are bolstered through cultural and economic relations. As part of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative would also encompass cultural and economic relations to aid Samoa. China has bent over backwards to accomdate what Samoans need most. Tourism dollars. By the look in the eyes of the Chinese visitors it seems a rather cultural shock reaching out to a culture that is considered very different from the Chinese historical cultural traditions, but, similarly to European cultural shock visiting the new world and colonising them, it was also a cultural shocking experience as wel...

The Eurasia Naval Insight, reveals a hypothetical Western Pacific War strategic synopsis within the next half century in the likely event of a War between the Anglo American Allies of the QUAD Plus and AUKUS Alliance in the near future within the Western Pacific and South China Sea region.  From a Naval strategic perspective, the Chinese Naval strategy's pwoer projection is determined by the deductive evidence garnered from the known proposed Chinese Naval procurements for the next half decade. Crucial to this Chinese Naval strategy is the Attack Submarine fleet upgrade from the current nuclear fleet with the development and construction of the Type 095 SSN nucelar attack submarines with the nuclear capabilities which ought to magnify the power projection of the Chinese military presence beyond the littoral waters of the Taiwan Strait and the Chinese coastline, towards the Japanese and Philippine island chains. Beyond the Philippines the Bue water Western Pacific has been considere...

This is the reason why the Solomon Islands and Samoa is highly valued by China. It is for their two Aircraft Carrier Fleets to find friendly ports for their Blue Water Fleets to visit and to replenish their supplies. The Shandong and the Liaoning Aircraft Carrier Fleets have recently conducted their inaugural Blue Water military exercises. In January 2022, the Liaoning had sailed to the Philippine Sea and near Guam their furtherest military exercises as Blue Water exercises. On April 2023, the Shandong Aircraft Carrier had conducted their first Blue Water military exercise in the Pacific Ocean, also close to Guam. This is the first time the Chinese Navy has travelled so far away from the South China Sea and from near coastal ports of the Chinese coastline. The Chinese surface fleet have now achieved a milestone Blue Water mission that is unprecedented in Chinese Naval history. It is for this very reason that China has viewed both the Solomon Islands and Samoa as crucial Strategically i...

With an additional 400,000 troops to be trained and deployed to Ukraine is indicative of the long haul garrison of the Donbass Region. The Russians have already deployed 1.5 million Troops to Ukraine most are deployed on reserve and on rotation and reinforcement roles along the Russian Line of Control. This confirms the fact that Russia is expecting to garrison their annexed territorial gains for the next few years for as long as it takes to repel NATO and Ukrainian Forces from the Donbass and Crimea. In short, Ukraine will never reacquire their lost territories. Why? since the Russian sanctions by the West, and the perpetual military support by NATO, the EU, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, or as the Russians and now the Chinese call it, the Anglo American Hegemonic influence of the world, and as Lavrov accurately points out, the Western Minority, the Russians economy has in fact improved and has been bolstered by the safety net from BRICS member Nations. BRICS, and in particular, t...

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...

Very accurate, except for the Eastern Polynesian settlement dates which ought to be earlier, since the descendants of the Samoans who had settled, modern Society Islands, and French Polynesia to Hawaii by 400AD. Also, the Rapa Nui settlers would have been able to travel to South America and not the other way round and since there was a sudden disappearance and entropic demise of the Rapa Nui Islanders it may be explained with the Islanders migrating to South America, and had since become assimilated into the local Indian cultures over the centuries? Always open to conjecture. But, overall, I agree with the initial Taiwan ground zero point of departure. Might I add, the 1949 KMT invasion from the mainland has forced the Indigenous people, Austronesians/Polynesians, to the hinterland of Formosa (Taiwan), and well away from the Chinese, from the more urbanised populations. Most of the ancient Polynesians/Austronesians have obviously assimilated into the Chinese DNA as the dominant racia...

Malo le lauga o le Palemia o Samoa i le Lowy Institute i le aso Mati 22, 2023. A speech that focused on the Samoan regional concerns regarding Climate Change, economic development and women issues, and, more improtantly, on AUKUS and BRICS Plus? the Rarotongan Treaty, means that it is a no to AUKUS for Samoa. The Rarotongan Treaty has denied AUKUS in the Pacific Region according to the Samoan Prime Minister. This message opens the door for BRICS Plus for Samoa. Malo lava Samoa.  Tim Tufuga
