Very few are aware of the vastness of Pacific Ocean; that it covers 30% of the Earth's surface and is larger than the combined landmasses on the planet. The ocean is however dotted with around 25,000 islands, most of which are small and scattered in Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Despite their small size, these islands hold significant geostrategic importance, serving as military footholds and resupply stations for global powers like the U.S., China, France, the U.K., and India. Due to their small size their fragile economies rely on tourism, fishing, and foreign aid, with Australia and China emerging as major donors, fuelling geopolitical competition. The U.S.'s reduced aid presence has allowed China to expand its influence, intensifying regional rivalries. Additionally, climate change poses an existential threat to these islands, yet foreign aid remains entangled in global power struggles, complicating efforts to address their most urgent challenges.
