An attempt by China to secure a sweeping security and trade deal with ten South Pacific islands remains elusive.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi was hoping to sign such a pact during a stop in Fiji, part of his diplomatic tour of the region. But Wang came away from a virtual meeting with his South Pacific counterparts without a deal. He urged them not to be too anxious about his country's aims in the region and promised to clear the air.
But the lead up to that commitment saw a charm offensive to get the Pacific nations on board. One that set alarm bells ringing in Canberra, but also in some Pacific islands as well.
