太平洋地區正上演一場影響力角逐。自新冠疫情爆發以來，這場競爭愈演愈烈。太平洋島國日益陷入兩難境地：一方面是傳統夥伴——澳大利亞、新西蘭和美國——的行動，另一方面則是中國的舉措。太平洋國家面臨的威脅，更可能促使這些島國在與大國互動時採取對沖策略，而非僅依賴其中任何一方

A contest for influence can be observed in the Pacific. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition has intensified. The Pacific Island countries are increasingly caught between the actions of their traditional partners—Australia, New Zealand, and the United States—on one side, and China on the other. Threats facing Pacific nations are more likely to lead the Pacific Islands to hedge in their interactions with these powers rather than rely solely on any one of them.
