CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — A former Australian envoy to the Solomons Islands has accused Australia’s government of losing the trust of South Pacific island countries and of ushering in greater Chinese influence. Retired career diplomat Trevor Sofield told a security summit on Monday he found it ”inconceivable” that the Solomons government did not trust Australia enough to consult when a bilateral security pact with Beijing was first considered. “That would not have happened a few years ago,” said Sofield, who was Australian high commissioner to the Solomons from 1982 to 1985. The pact, which was concluded last month, has been a major issue ahead of Australian elections on Saturday. Australia and its allies including the United States fear the pact will result in a Chinese naval presence less than 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) from the northeast Australian coast. Prime Minister Scott Morrison argues that he is better able than opposition leader Anthony Albanese to take on … [Read more...] about Former Australian envoy says Australia’s lost Pacific trust

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 5 TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares mostly rose Monday, as investors eyed surging energy costs and prospects for interest rate hikes in the U.S. Benchmarks edged up in Japan, Australia and South Korea. Shares rose in Hong Kong but declined in Shanghai. Some analysts worry that if the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates too quickly, or by too much, that could set of a recession. A slowdown in the U.S. would almost certainly hurt the Asian region, which exports and manufactures goods for the U.S. economy. The Fed has said it will continue to raise interest rates to temper rising inflation. The benchmark short-term interest rate was at a record low of near zero during much of the coronavirus pandemic. “Many others had spotted recession risk out in 2024, but we have been aggressive from the outset in our forecast for a potential U.S. recession this year,” said Clifford … [Read more...] about Asian shares mostly rise as markets eye US interest rates
