Abstract :

Increasing  China’s presence in the South Pacific have captured attention from many parties.  Its  increasing  presence  to  the  region  that  has  for  decades  been  dubbed  as ‘western lake’, a region  economically ‘has no future’ and politically unstable, has posed many  questions.  Whilst  western  powers  exercised  hard  power  are  South  Pacific nations  more  receptive  to  China’s  soft  power?  China's  presence  often  leads  to speculation  that  China  is  indeed  a  new  hegemon.  The  author  argues  that  the  South Pacific is not a new area of focus for China, and China is not a new player. China is  a global player. It  has  strategic agendas  built in the past and  restrengthened  when  the traditional powers  to abandon the region.  Using the  logic  of strategic realism, China’s presence  in  the  South  Pacific  is  an  effort  to  manage  global  plurality  as  part  of  its global  strategy  to  gain  strategic  opportunities  of  the  region.  This  provided  a  new perspective in understanding international relations in the South Pacific.
