The increase of Chinese investments in resource development provide many developing countries，including Pacific Island Countries，with much needed revenue and an alternative to the West. As Pacific Countries interact more with China，one of the biggest challenges is to understand this new power in the region-the dragon in the Ocean-that speaks a language that is largely a foreign and has a unfamiliar bureaucracy. Chinese investment are attractive also because they are often accompanied with aid and access to loans without the stringent preconditions that the governments of Western countries and Western based international financial institutions required.China’s interests in Oceania are punctuated by its high level political engagements with the region’s leaders since 2006. These demonstrate Chin’s willingness to engage with Pacific Island Countries and could be interpreted as illustrating the respect that China，a global power，accord the relative small Pacific Island countries，and the extent that it is willing to go to gain political favor and resource in the region.
