	Description:		It's too early to know how worried New Zealand should be about China's new military deal with the Solomon Islands. That's the view of former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. The Solomon Islands Government has confirmed it's finalised the deal, which could allow Chinese military personnel and assets, like ships, could be stationed in and around the Pacific nation. Rudd, an expert on China, told Mike Hosking the importance of the deal will depend on how China uses it. He says China has been rolling out similar security arrangements around the world, and what matters will be what China actually does. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
