This is what happened in Hong Kong. The pro-CCP elements inside Hong Kong engineered a stealth replacement of the long standing, British trained and conditioned Hong Kong Police Force with armed, CCP Para-Military police from the Mainland. They were thuggish and brutal in shutting down debate and asphyxiating Hong Kong into submission.
Cleo Paskal, the expert on CCP adventurism in the Pacific Island Republics has circulated this letter.
There are factions and their police forces attempting to stand up to this stealth take over and establishment of an Iron Curtain around the Solomon Islands by the CCP.
If the CCP takes the Solomon Islands, they will have flanked the Second Island chain of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and the US Territories of Guam, Tinian, and Saipan. The CCP will have a short, direct route to Australia from the Solomon Islands - exactly what Japan was seeking in the Second World War.
A covert or clandestine mission is needed to render support to the majority of the Solomon Islanders who opposed the CCP take over.
