In exchange islands with the United States, the only one who can obtain sovereignty over the islands may be American Samoa, who calls American Samoa a colony of the United States, and the United States is a non-consolidated and unincorporated territory.

Forgive Chen Dong for looking at the wrong map before.

When Chen Dong opened the map of American Samoa, he found that there was a better choice for the island to be exchanged than Onou'u Island.

However, Chen Dong can't be blamed.

Those islands were too far away from Tutuira, the main island of American Samoa, more than 100 kilometres away, and were isolated in the Pacific Ocean.

That's the Manua Islands, which many Americans don't know.

The Manua Islands are part of American Samoa and consist of the islands of Tau, Olosega and Ofu, with a land area of more than 60 square kilometres, and the largest island, Taou, has 39 square kilometres.

Chen Dong decided, Onuu Island is too small, 2.6 square kilometers, big boogers, don't want it, want the Manua Islands, the importance of the Manua Islands to the United States, can be small, American Samoa, the United States mainly values the Pago Pago on Tutuira Island, a natural deep-water port, can berth 10,000 tons of sea vessels, the United States in the Pacific Ocean important naval and air bases, during World War II, the United States Pacific Fleet used this as a base to fight against Japan.

The Manua Islands are probably the first addition to Tutuila Island acquired by the United States, and the population is also small, 95% of the population of American Samoa is in Tutuila Island.

Chen Dong decided to exchange Lucky Island for the Manua Islands.

Chen Dong talked to the United States.

The United States agreed in principle.

However, to exchange the islands, some specific operations are needed, and Chen Dong and the U.S. government still need some detailed negotiations.

There is no problem with Chen Dong's side, you can exchange islands at any time, there are a lot of problems on the United States side, first of all, exchange the Manua Islands for Lucky Island, and the exchange of islands still needs to be approved by the Parliament, which is no problem, the Parliament should pass it, after all, the exchange of islands is obviously not a loss for the United States, and it is also necessary to relocate the residents of the Manua Islands, these residents nominally belong to the United States, and the U.S. government and government are all lost to Chen Dong, no matter what, this will definitely not work, this is more troublesome, but, Fortunately, there are not many inhabitants on the islands of the Manua Islands, about 1 or 2,000 people.

In the end, the US government and government still have to talk to Chen Dong about not allowing the construction of naval bases, air bases, submarine bases, or so on on the Manua Islands.

The U.S. government and government immediately approved the exchange of the island, and the residents of the Manua Islands were also preparing to move to Tutuila Island.

It's time to change islands.

End of June.

Chen Dong signed a treaty with the United States to exchange islands, witnessed by the international community.

The news was reported in the media around the world with front-page headlines, blockbuster news, and large reports.

You know, it's a quid pro quo involving sovereignty.

The United States has gained sovereignty over Lucky Island, and it has one more ocean to rush, the only one in the Indian Ocean that the United States has to rush.

As a superpower, the United States is quite hegemonic, and it has always taken other people's sovereignty seriously, and now, Chen Dong has obtained sovereignty from the United States, which is worthy of praise.

Of course, some countries are definitely unhappy, for example, Indonesia, India, countries in southern Africa, the United States through Lucky Island, directly within the combat radius of the US military, the US military can directly deter them.

But, what if you're unhappy.

Other people's sovereign transactions, what does it matter to you, at most it is just a rhetorical cannon and a protest.

In China, the news network reported the news, "Stateless Chinese Chen Dong signed the island exchange treaty with the United States, which is the first international sovereignty treaty signed in the 21st century, the United States obtained the sovereignty of the lucky island in the Indian Ocean, consolidating the hegemony of the United States in the world, Chen Dong obtained the sovereignty of the Manua Islands, Manua Islands are located in the south-central Pacific Ocean, the eastern island group of Eastern Samoa, composed of Tawu, Olosega and Ofu islands, with a land area of more than 60 square kilometers, The area of the sea area is more than 3,700 square kilometers, which is the first precedent for an individual to obtain sovereignty over an island.

Russia, RIA Novosti, also reported the news, 'Chen Dong signed an island exchange treaty with the United States, the United States extended its hegemony into the middle of the Indian Ocean, the unclaimed islands found in the international high seas do not belong to the islands of any country, and certainly do not belong to any individual's islands, the principle of 'pre-occupation acquisition' does not apply to the unclaimed islands found in the international high seas, Chen Dong has no right to exchange the lucky island whose sovereignty does not belong to him, Russia strongly opposes Chen Dong signing an island exchange treaty with the United States, Chen Dong has no right to do so, it is invalid.

Of course, the protest was ineffective, and in later generations, Russia discovered the unclaimed island Yaya Island in the Arctic region, and the declaration of the sovereignty of Yaya Island certainly did not say so, and the islands found in the international high seas do not belong to any country.

For the media in India, Indonesia, South Africa and other countries, there must be strong opposition, a must.

The attitude of various countries, China said that it does not matter, the first island chain, the second island chain, the third island chain will seal China to the death, blockaded in the Pacific Ocean, moreover, China has always advocated peace in the international community, does not seek world hegemony, has little interest in Lucky Island, Lucky Island is too far away from China, the United States has built a naval base, air base, submarine base on Lucky Island, and it cannot radiate to China.

Thinking about this, it is better to think about the US military bases in Asia, what US military bases in Okinawa, Yokosuka US military bases, in South Korea, in the Philippines, and a large number of military bases in the Pacific Ocean, to be realistic, with the combat radius of US fighters and warships, any military base can radiate to China, the nearest Okinawa base, only more than 400 kilometers from China's Diaoyu Island, only more than 1,000 kilometers in Chinese mainland, too close.

As for Russia, it is only protesting when Russian warships and warplanes will be able to sail on the ocean without being monitored, and Russia's fleet will be choked enough to run from the mainland to the Indian Ocean, and it will be more difficult to circumnavigate more than the west of the world
