Potential China military base in Solomons

[WARSPITER]

Given the need for good relations in the New Guinea / Solomons area the comments were summed up by an editorial in
the Post-Courier newspaper ;

What is so hard about apologizing? Is the five-letter word SORRY so hard to utter? You might be the most powerful man in the world but President Joe Biden, your supremacy is nothing compared to the might of saying sorry.
We lost soldiers and war carriers, many innocent people were killed by your bombs and the Japanese army, and many of your old bombs left behind in New Guinea, still maim or kill people to this day.
So Uncle Joe, if your utterance was an unintentional blunder, just humble yourself and say sorry. That's all we beg of you. If you don't say sorry, the Chinese are more than willing to say sorry on your behalf.

One shall not forget there would not have been uneploded bombs lying around if the japanese had not invaded the area

How does Papuan Cannibalism (real or imagined) have anything to do with Potential Chinese Military bases in the Solomon Islands?

Ah, that way. Thanks
Common factor I meant was the lack of basic knowledge about the ongoing situation.
Not to be political but economical, as long as people in the region, widely Oceania, rely on China economy, nothing will be improved.

The Japanese government offered them to clean their islands many decades ago but they refused due to wealthy tourism resorces.

If that's so then they should stop whining

 

[Shinpachi]

I have not heard any whining to Japanese for decades.
Originally, most of such unexploded bombs and shells of the quality were made in U.S.
Not our products.

Interesting talk about the unexploded bombs. I just watched a video on this very topic last week.
