‘Very worrying’: PNG held secret talks with China on security and policing

ASPI Senior Analyst Dr Malcolm Davis says revelations Papua New Guinea had secret talks with China on security and policing are “very worrying”. Papua New Guinea was approached by China in September to assist with police training. “This is very worrying,” Dr Davis told Sky News Australia. “If PNG does, in fact, sign a security deal with China, invariably those sorts of security deals that Beijing promotes start with policing, end up with greater Chinese presence and potentially lead down the path to what we’ve seen in the Solomon Islands. “That would be a devastating development for Australia’s security if the Chinese military ends up with a presence in Papua New Guinea.”
