WELLINGTON, New Zealand — A leaked document indicates that China could boost its military presence in the Solomon Islands — including with ship visits — in a development that is raising alarm in nearby Australia and beyond. The Solomon Islands revealed on Thursday it had signed a policing cooperation agreement with China. But more concerning to Australia was the draft text of a broader security arrangement that was leaked online. Under the terms of the draft agreement, China could send police, military personnel, and other armed forces to the Solomons "to assist in maintaining social order" and for a variety of other reasons. It could also send ships to the islands for stopovers and to replenish supplies.

Exploitation and pollution from resource mining culminated in Solomon Islanders violent riots against Chinese in Honiara's chinatown.
Solomon's prime-minister agrees to protection and military access.
Old story ...corrupt politician prefers colonialism.

Is it cheaper to get new ammo or re-barrel the rifles with a faster twist?

There has got to be tactical applications for slapping your target with projectiles going sideways.

I suppose.

I would shade things. I recently read a Japanese estimate of how many deployable modern fighter aircraft China has.
About the same as the US Navy.
