The US military plans to rebuild the main port in a pristine Pacific archipelago have evoked haunting recollections of World War Two, causing anxiety among residents of Palau about the possibility of being embroiled in a superpower confrontation. Palau will become the US military’s top overseas location for construction in 2027 as a crumbling wharf built by Japan in World War Two is expanded to berth US Navy ships and the harbor is dredged deeper in a $500 million project.
Located some 800 kilometers west of the South China Sea and home to just around 17,000 people, Palau is also earmarked to house a crisis-ready stockpile for US Marines, tender documents show. Burdened by their history, the people of Palau have inquired of Washington regarding the measures that will be taken to safeguard them should conflict arise once more in a nation that boasts less than 458 square kilometers of livable terrain.
