As foreign ministers and senior representatives from Pacific nations convened in Suva for the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) to discuss key regional issues, New Zealand's foreign minister reportedly pushed to secure a joint statement condemning China's missile tests in July, however, his effort ultimately fell flat. A Chinese expert described the outcome as a clear rebuke to Canberra and Wellington's ingrained habit of speaking for the Pacific, saying the two countries must come to terms with a shifting reality: Pacific Island states are increasingly unwilling to let Australia and New Zealand dictate who their friends, foes and perceived security threats should be.
Pacific Island foreign ministers failed to agree on Friday to a joint response to China's missile launch in July, with further discussions expected at the Pacific leaders meeting at the end of August, said New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters, according to Reuters. 
According to a report from Radio New Zealand, there has not been a unanimous statement from Pacific nations about China's test-launch in July, and Peters said New Zealand had been pushing for one. Peters claimed that the Pacific missed an opportunity not to issue a joint statement soon after China's launch.
Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong said before the meeting that she hoped China took note of the "very clear response" already sent from the Pacific about the test, according to AFP.
Peters' push for a joint PIF statement on China's missile tests, together with Wong's remarks, are less about technical security concerns than an effort to turn their own anxieties about China into a regional agenda and pressure Beijing under the forum's collective banner. His description of Pacific Island countries' refusal to single out China as a "missed opportunity" also reveals little respect for their independent judgment, Chen Hong, director of the New Zealand Studies Centre, East China Normal University, told the Global Times.
The result is a clear rebuke to Canberra and Wellington's long-standing habit of arrogantly "speaking for" the Pacific, as island states are increasingly unwilling to let Australia and New Zealand decide who their friends, foes or security threats should be, said Chen Hong. 
The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy said on July 6 that one of its strategic nuclear submarines successfully launched a strategic missile toward relevant high seas of the Pacific Ocean, which landed precisely within the designated waters. China notified relevant countries in advance of the test launch, a move that demonstrates the openness and transparency of the Chinese armed forces, Chen Xi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense, said at a press conference on July 7. 
Chen Hong also noted that Peters' recent China-related rhetoric has become increasingly populist and hawkish as elections approach in New Zealand. "Such an approach risks undermining New Zealand's long-standing reputation for pragmatic, independent, and rational diplomacy," Chen Hong said. 
In July, during a parliamentary debate on New Zealand's Covid-19 pandemic response, Peters, who is also leader of the populist New Zealand First party, told a Chinese-born lawmaker to "go back to your own country" while mocking his English proficiency. His remarks drew wide criticism in New Zealand.
Yet Australia and New Zealand continued to amplify missile-related issues and great-power rivalry, pushing the "China threat" narrative to the center of the regional agenda while sidelining the priorities that matter most to Pacific Island nations, said Chinese analysts. 
Chen Hong noted that for island states, the most urgent concerns are not geopolitical competition but everyday challenges: climate change, energy security, development financing, infrastructure and economic resilience. By shifting the focus from these concerns to strategic rivalry among major powers, Australia and New Zealand risk distorting the region's real priorities and undermining the aspirations of Pacific Island countries.
According to an introduction on the forum website, "The Forum's Pacific Vision is for a resilient region of peace, harmony, security, social inclusion and prosperity, so that all Pacific people can lead free, healthy, and productive lives."
At the opening of the meeting, Rick Houenipwela, foreign minister of the Solomon Islands and chair of the meeting, said that the Pacific's agenda must continue to be "conceived ⁠by the Pacific, shaped by the Pacific and only by the Pacific," according to Reuters. 
Chen Hong said Pacific Island nations have made their position clear: differences with China do not mean signing up to the strategic agendas of Australia and New Zealand. A growing number of island countries refuse to be trapped in the black-and-white binary choice of siding with either China or the West.
If Canberra and Wellington keep pushing rhetoric beyond the regional consensus, they risk undermining the very institution they claim to support. The PIF's strength lies not in issuing confrontational statements, but in preserving Pacific unity. Turning that consensus into a tool for pressuring China would erode the forum's cohesion and weaken its central role in the region, said Chen Hong.
。         与此同时，ESPN名记Anthony Slater也撰文谈到了威少的处境，其表示，国王有意续约威少，但需要其转变角色，相关原文如下：          过去这一年里，威斯布鲁克已经明确表示，在自己打完第18个NBA赛季后，并无退役打算，因此，他仍在寻找合适的契机，以延续自己的职业生涯。         他最近效力的国王，据球队多位消息人士透露，仍对重聚持开放态度，但也理解威少可能不太愿意在备受瞩目的新秀阿卡夫身后担任缩减后的角色。         国王总经理斯科特佩里承认，上赛季威斯布鲁克的表现“超出了”国王所能提供的底薪合同的价值，同时为国王阵中的年轻球员担任了宝贵的导师角色。         威斯布鲁克显然没有紧迫的时间表，这与去年夏天类似——当时他也在权衡各种选择，直到10月初训练营开始前才同意加盟国王。         有一说一，国王总经理所言并非虚假。

B |          上赛季，威少的表现确实超出底薪，他一共出战了64场比赛，其中58场首发，场均上场28.9分钟，得到15.2分5.4篮板6.7助攻1.3抢断，三项命中率42.7%/33.8%/69.4%，真实命中率52.8%。         需要说的是，威少一开始签下的只是一份非保障底薪，当时国王给他的定位是替补，首发是3年4000万签下的施罗德，结果没打多久，威少就把施罗德挤下了首发。         以及很重要的一点，在威少的帮助下，国王去年的二轮秀中锋雷诺打出了远超顺位的表现，场均可以拿到12.5分7.5篮板1.4助攻，入选了最佳新秀二阵——          这个真的不是强行夸，威少是上赛季国王全队最会给雷诺传球、也是传球和助攻次数最多的球员，而且几乎断档领先的那种。         肯定的一点，威少的油箱里绝对有油。

C |          但问题也很明显，就像记者们所报道的，国王可能有意续约威少，前提是威少能够接受更低的角色，比如，给阿卡夫打替补。         这个可就跟施罗德不一样了，阿卡夫是今年的首轮第7顺位，绝对是国王的重点培养对象，即便第一年打得不理想，他能得到的球权也会远超威少。         其实吧，威少也不是没有打过替补，此前在掘金，威少就是球队的第六人，可惜的是，那一年结果并不理想，掘金最终次轮不敌雷霆出局。         不过留在国王是另外一种情况——掘金好歹是争冠球队，但国王是重建球队，如果续约国王的话，基本可以确定，威少下赛季没有机会夺冠了。         而且吧，个人觉得，威少的场均上场时间可能会骤减到15分钟左右，几乎是他上赛季的一半，数据也会相应减少。         最终，不妨整理下威少今夏的一些流言时间线：          ——先是国王有意续约威少          ——然后又有消息说奇才有意          ——期间与热火、火箭也传出过绯闻          ——再者是国王无意续约威少，威少可能前往欧洲          ——最后就是国王又有意续约威少…          讲真，流言有点太过混乱了，不同记者报道的都不一样，单是国王，就出现了愿意续约、不愿意续约、愿意续约的多条消息，真实性存疑。         不过可以肯定的一点是，从最新的采访来看，威少暂时还没有退役的想法，这位前MVP依然希望继续在NBA打球。         纯个人观点，威少应该会得到一份合同，不过要等到10月份，就像上赛季一样，而且个人感觉不会是国王，在威少愿意接受更低角色的情况下，他的选择会很多，但这几年确实是威少生涯的尾巴了，且看且珍惜。
