"Law and order in SOL has it's moments, sometimes it is quiet, on other occasions, there is a stirring of the pot and stuff happens."
Much the same across whole region from Timor Leste to Fiji - these are not stable entities really
TBH it's all a very small pot with very few people. The Chinese can build a base in the Solomon's but it won't do them any good and it can be taken out very quickly if there's a need - just look at the supply line !
