@SheDrivesMobility Es betrifft ja nicht nur #Tuvalu, sondern auch andere Inselstaaten. So z. B. #Kiribati, ein zwar ebenfalls kleiner Staat aber mit einer großen Ausdehnung. Die Entfernung zwischen den westlichen und östlichen Inseln beträgt mehrere 1000 km. - Daneben Staaten wie Palau und Nauru.

RT @Dimi: SCOOP – US & allies concerned that #Kiribati, Pacific island nation 3,000km from Hawaii, is negotiating a #securitydeal with #China. Comes on heels of Chinese deal with Solomon Islands, which has been a big issue in the Australian election.
