Thats true, Hell PNG only got internet because China made the offer only for Australia to jump in and prevented China from doing so by coming up with a bit of arm bending and an alternate offer.China's game plan here is the old silver bullet > lead bullet, winning without fighting thing. Prove to the other island nations that if you ditch ROC and sign up with PRC you will get plenty of economic development. Then they will one by one jump onboard similar arrangements and you end up with a string of China friendly nations all the way to South America, then once it spreads there as well it will be even harder to isolate China.
PNG got their first decent school after decades of neglect by Australia
