Australia will work with its allies to ensure China does not set up a military base in the Solomon Islands, Prime Minister Scott Morrison vowed Sunday during a heated pre-election debate.

China's growing clout in the Pacific has become a hot political issue in Australia ahead of May 21 elections, following Beijing's announcement last month that it had signed a security pact with the Solomons.

The China-Solomons deal has not been publicly released but a leaked draft alarmed countries in the region, particularly sections that would allow Chinese naval deployments to the Solomons -- less than 2,000 kilometres (1,200 miles) from Australia.

China can easily swamp the islands with Chinese nationals. Okay now smooth move exlax on the Islander’s part. Easy to buy leadership.
