China's bullying forced Solomon Islands to suspend entry of foreign ships?

• The Solomon Islands has suspended entry into its waters for foreign navy ships pending adoption of a new process for approval of port visits. The move came after an incident last week when a U.S. Coast Guard vessel was unable to dock at the island nation because the government did not respond to a request for it to refuel and provision. Solomon Island Prime Minister Manesseh Sogavare said that the delay was because the information had not been sent to his office on time.
