Australia’s PM jets to the Solomon Islands amid a Pacific power play: Fiji just signed a historic defense pact with Canberra — Australia’s fourth Pacific ally — hours before China fired a missile test, sparking warnings from Aussie foreign minister Penny Wong. Fiji’s PM insists the alliance won’t strain ties with Beijing, framing it as a sovereign move. Meanwhile, Australia’s diplomatic blitz continues with a visit to Honiara to push for a broader Pacific pact — all while pouring $1 billion into Fiji’s climate and economy. The Pacific’s shifting alliances are heating up. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
