The United States and Papua New Guinea have signed a defence deal. It will see more US troops in the Pacific island country and on ships within its waters.
That upsets China.

China 🇨🇳
Ching wong ding pong ping Tong
I watch China because they are a right Partner if you are a good partner Go To China China and russia don’t make any mistake 👉🇷🇺🇨🇳💪🌺✊🙋♀️
Both loser dictatorships
China is a cancer upon PNG
I agree
People are so so stupid as they keep falling for the traps of America all the time.
The US gets port and sky access. What does Papua get? 🤔
G.U.N
@steven mulkey PNG doesn’t have problems with any county. We are peaceful and open to everyone, both china and USA. This agreement will cause tension with the two big superpowers and put PNG in a predicament if conflict arises between US and China, which us the ordinary citizens never asked for.
@Job Guere Kull ask tibet and the Phillipines if having a problem with china is a prerequisite to having china attack you.
Papua New Guineans get nothing. We don’t need military support, we need economic support. The agreement will serve US interests and not Papua New Guineans. I still travel over a pothole riden road for decades now and my government just signed a military deal with US. My prime minister must be out of his nuts. If only he took a step back to soak in the reality, we need china for trade and almost all goods we import for our daily lives. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a supporter of China, neither the US. We just don’t wanna be caught up in somebody else war and politics. Keep your political agendas off our shores, thank you.
1:36 “strong interest from Washington to refresh the relationship, to create nuance…” psst as if. It’s the US way say to Indonesia (next year we have presidential elections) whoever the president is, “If you tried to buddy2 with China, Russia, or Iran we take Papua with us”
After the cold war the US left PNG to be looted by mining companies. After China invests in PGN the US comes running back to PNG and other Pacific Islands.
If Pacific nations dont benefit or leverage their importance in this geopolitical rivalry, they will regret for decades
Inking for US proxy, so be prepared for consequences like Ukraine. The PM is a stupid swine.
Whats the news here the US “defense pact” with the PNG or the Indian state visit to PNG….???
@D—E—S no one cares about India, it would be like if Pakistan visited PNG. You lack blue water naval capabilities. What contribution can India really offer to PNG?
I Hope So
Wrong move of Papua guenea
Do you 👩🏻”strongly reject” their move?
REALLY RUSSIA 🇷🇺 IS A TERORIST STATE AND FAILED STATE !!!!! PUTIN-WAR CRIMINAL !!!!!
PNG should allow US to invest in its nation❤
The US doesn’t want to invest in PNG they only show interest now because of China. Basically they only come if they need something and use the country as a military base
Since the Chinese visited PNG in 2018—-they built tangible developments that PNG citizens could see, touch and enjoy. The US is bringing them a “defense pact” a military base and an occupation. Maybe McDonald and KFC will open a few takeout stalls to cater for the US military families…..
@D—E—Syeah look, it’s not your problem. It’s their decision to make. I’m sure they had their reasons.
@D—E—S
China said it has no intention of building a military base in the Pacific , so PNG asked The United Staes instead.
@Lachlan Sydney Good for them!
Turning a peaceful nation into a weapon.
Qatar slave of America will be Very happy
I wonder how much more wasted money it’s going to cost us oops will never see it again.
Americans using Chinese built infrastructure in PNG and telling PNG that China is dangerous 😀…
PNG has already forgotten about Rio Tinto it seems hehehe.
Gee, what country was Rio Tinto from again? Because it’s not America, it’s Britian and Australia
Better a dry bite of bread, and peace with it,
than a house full of sacrificial meat and discord.

If they build military base in PNG, Its not only provocative towards China. It can become threat to Indonesia as well since West Papua separatist is still become problem in there.
Oh be quiet, poor Indonesia and their genocide that didn’t go as planned. What about Timor?
If PNG is not under threat why signing deals with US.? PNG is another proxy state now meaning global enemies of US ‘s enemies. RISK is already taken by inking deal.
Rip Papua 🇵🇬 🙏 😢
WTF! what is Papua New Guinea doing? they will regret this “alianza” for the rest of their lives.
@S Sartré oh I think you do understand because they succeeded in upsetting you.
@Lachlan Sydney what ever! but it was a real bad decision, bad for them bad for the rest of the world. One day PNG will be another Ukraine.
@S Sartré thats what we are thinking right now in PNG
@Abby Arus Im very worry for all your People. The US is not good fríend and think only in dominating the world.
papua new guinea sold themselve to the devil congrats
mistake
such loser nation
i urged russia, china and Iran to have military presence around USA
Equal? USA? Beneficial to both?
A partnership between a rider and a horse..
I’m from Timor leste congrats Papua welcome back to new country like your neighbor Timor leste🙏❤ keep going no matter how hard it is. I really appreciate this thanks a lot for the US. 👍
Since the independence, all resources collapse by them and local’s got nothing
🇨🇳 👩🏻: “we strongly reject-“
🇨🇳 👩🏻: “we highly urge-“
🇨🇳 👩🏻: “…win win…zero sum…industrial supply chains….one China policy”
Make a very great mistake let this mafia control like puppets as no progress
Papa Guinea is an African
Papa New Guinea should join the African Union… That is where it belongs not Asia
FYI, PNG is larger than the UK and most countries around the world.
Distabilizing Papua New Geunea is easy. So is the Phillippines. There are so many unhappy oppositions who needs both economical and military help against police brutality, unhappy citizens and unpopular government in these countries. The worst is Phillippines where the government is totally illegal as rightful ruler Sulu Sultan was robbed of its land. Muslim are worst unhappy lot.
As a German, I do not condone this approach the US is taking. It is obviously a provocation and a threat towards China who view South Asia as their neighborhood. Its like if Mexico signed a defense treaty with China or if Marocco signed a defense treaty with Russia. Its simply not something that promotes peace in the region. South Asian states should figure things out among themselves and the US is really too far away geographically to have any gauge on the relations in south asia.
Those Asian nations are democracies. Democracies stick together.
@Malign M Yea but you are also Asians. You should communicate with your chinese neighbors and make them see why democracy is better than autocracy.
@distro logic We tried that with Russia and it failed. Peace through strength is the only thing that works.
@Malign M China is not Russia
@distro logic all dictatorships have 1 goal. Conquer as much land before the ruler dies.
Now it’s time that they destroy Papua new gunie after Ukraine.
Lol.. you do understand that China visits any country.. US jumps right after and spends bunch money.. this way.. it’s gonna run out of money.. China doesn’t spend much and costing US an arm and a leg.
Two Faced America😊
@Lachlan Sydney Yes But What Were They Promised For Their Support

US Should invest more in Economic Insfrastructures than military base in PNG
China said it has no intention of building a military base in the Pacific , so PNG asked The United Staes instead.
@Lachlan Sydney China or US should respect ASEAN Countries for peaceful economic zone, not adding tension between neighbourhood Countries, so military not an option, there’s should be cooperative strategy to keep ASEAN as world’s Power balance
these small countries just sit wait to be wooed by these larger powers…its like Christmas and birthday when you get a visit.
If china do it was good ,if USA do it was bad😀😀😀lol china come to truth
The K5 billion intended for Covid, you people used for elections yet they NEVER asked for acquittals. Now as a follow-up they are here asking for your signature. What will you say? Yu sawe pinis ya. Gutpla o nongut, sainim tasol.Sorry PNG your children will regret a military deal signed for the purpose of war, destruction and death. An intended to be a Christian nation now taking sides with a seasonal warring Giant whose hand is with blood, from Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Afghanistan, Latin America, and the CIA sponsored coups in many African nations. Now they are testing their military prowess in Ukraine.Wet na bai yupla lukim. Husat sawe preach lo ‘One World Government’ ya em nau yupla yet sainim PNG nau.
If I owned a home and my neighbour(s) start buying guns, new black SUVs and get lots of baseball bats, and they say its for their own benefit, will I really trust them? The US provides only guns and weapons without any effort for local development. Don’t forget, it is the US who comes into China/Russia’s neighbourhood and not vice versa, provoke them constantly and then wonder why they react
Another country sucked in by the usa watch this place will be in ruin in a few years after we are done using and abusing
Its a norm to see PNGs government, signing deals like kids taking candies from a stranger. China’s impact on PNG is similar to pollution. US just wants to get a strategy point, acting like they care about PNG.
For good or worse, Prime Minister James Marape will be remembered for a long time.
US supports Papuan separatists, Indonesia through Papua New Guinea,,, US is DISTURBING
Bad news again for Indonesian people
that’s what the colonialists did, it’s really heinous, that’s what they are western nations.
they also do it next door, spreading arms supply wars, and pitting against each other, heretical doctrines.
Remember what you sow is what you will reap.
vile western nation, greedy.
will surely perish.
Time for China to finalize the defence cooperation with Solomon Islands.
Surely the U.S. will be cool with it.
Indonesia should voice their concern and reject this deal.
In the future, it is possible that the West will launch attack on Indonesia from the PNG to free Papua.
Papua New Guineas foreign policy is “Friend to all, enemy to none”. Please fight your wars in your own countries and leave us alone
