    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    Chinas diplomatic activities in the Pacific, which include President Xi Jinpings visit to Papua New Guinea (PNG) in November 2018 and the third ChinaPacific Islands Countries (PICs) Economic Development and Cooperation Forum held in Samoa in October 2019, have received substantial attention in Australia. In stark contrast, Chinas fast-growing academic interest in the Pacific is scarcely discussed. This In Brief introduces the main Pacific research centres in China and offers a new angle to understand Chinas diplomacy towards the region.
