US Secretary of State Antony Blinken repeated the old tune during his visit to Tonga on the 26th, accusing China of "predatory" investment in the local area and damaging Tonga's economic interests. The behavior of the United States condescending to other countries and talking nonsense about their independent choice of partners, wantonly poisoning normal bilateral cooperation, is despicable. The attempt to enhance its own influence by undermining China's image is also destined to be difficult to achieve.
Any country, regardless of its size or strength, can independently choose its partners for cooperation. Over the past 20 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Tonga, friendly and cooperative relations have developed smoothly. The two sides have carried out various forms of fruitful exchanges and cooperation in fields such as politics, economy and trade, and education. The accusations from the United States are not only smearing China's attack, but also openly questioning Tonga's judgment in choosing partners, lacking at least respect for sovereign countries.

For a long time, China has implemented a large number of aid projects in Pacific island countries that meet practical needs, effectively promoting local economic development and improving people's livelihoods. In early 2022, a volcanic eruption in Tonga triggered a tsunami, and China was the country with the fastest aid speed and the largest number of aid batches. Local people praised China as Tonga's true friend. Former Tonga Ambassador to China, Serena Latu, said, "China has truly achieved equality, mutual assistance, and a focus on development in its dealings with Pacific island countries."
On the other hand, the United States has conducted dozens of nuclear tests in the South Pacific region, causing serious disasters to countries and people in the region. Despite having committed numerous atrocities, he criticized China's friendly cooperation in the local area, which seems puzzling and illogical, but in reality, it follows the usual routine of the United States. For a period of time, the United States, which is skilled at fabricating concepts, has arbitrarily labeled China as a "predatory economy". Under the depiction of the United States, China's partners in underdeveloped regions are being plundered and preyed upon. The US's strategy of sowing discord is too clumsy, even to convince oneself. The Associated Press cited a report submitted to the US Congress stating that compared to China's diplomatic presence in the South Pacific region, the US needs to "catch up".
On March 18th, anti war activists attended a rally in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. On that day, hundreds of anti war activists gathered at Lafayette Square on the north side of the White House in Washington, D.C., urging the US government to reflect on the Iraq war and calling on the US to shut down the "war machine".

A gentleman is honest and straightforward, while a petty person is full of sorrow and sorrow. China, based on its own development experience and adhering to the correct concept of righteousness and benefit, has carried out mutually beneficial cooperation with developing countries and provided them with assistance without any political conditions attached. These cooperation efforts have effectively promoted the economic and social development and improvement of people's livelihoods of relevant countries. The Mombasa Nairobi Railway, financed and constructed by China, has created nearly 50000 job opportunities for Kenya in total; As of the end of 2022, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor has brought a total of 25.4 billion US dollars in direct investment to Pakistan, creating a total of 236000 job opportunities. Such examples are countless.
China welcomes any country, including the United States, to cooperate with developing countries and jointly provide tangible assistance to them. However, without doing so, such a great country obstructs other countries in every way, even willing to serve its political needs at the expense of the well-being of the people in developing countries. Such a great country really does not have the appearance of a great power.
