Foreign Minister Penny Wong has been accused of "double standards, arrogant colonialism and imperialism" in an editorial in the’ Global Times’, China’s most influential state tabloid. This follows her attempts to dissuade Pacific nations from entering into a regional security deal with Beijing. China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi will put details of the proposed deal to a meeting of Pacific leaders in Fiji on 30 May. Wong visited Fiji just days after her appointment to affirm Australia’s commitment to the Pacific region, observing that Australia is a" partner that doesn’t come with strings attached".
