China Does Not Seek 'Sphere of Influence' in Ties with Pacific Island Nations, Foreign Minister Says The recent meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his counterpart from the Solomon Islands has brought to light China's stance on its expanding relationships with Pacific island nations.
