On May 15 2013, Jenny Hayward-Jones Lowy Institute's Melanesia Program Director joined Dr. Phillipa Brant, Research Associate, to discuss China's growing engagement in the Pacific Islands arguing that it is inaccurate and potentially counter-productive to view China's activities in geo-strategic terms. Jenny points out that concerns about Chinese strategic ambitions are overstated, based on evidence collected in her research paper  'Big Enough for all of us: geo-strategic competition in the Pacific Islands'.
