it's the second largest island in south america. s the size of cyprus or puerto rico, for you to get an idea. it's 200 kilometers long, and 60 kilometers in its widest part. it is an archipelago, which is formed of some 40 smaller islands. (sophie fouron) cyril christensen. proud resident of chiloé, photographer and founding member of a group that promotes the archipelago's true nature, these are his islands. (cyril christensen) chiloé has over 60 churches, 16 of which have been declared world heritage by unesco. and when the spanish arrived to the island, there was no metal on the island, so churches were actually built without nails. wood is the most abundant natural resource on the island. we have a beautiful native forest with more than 20 different species, used by the chilotes from building boats, to building a church, to building their homes. actually, most of the houses here in chiloé are wooden houses. chiloé's most iconic image is the houses by the sea, with long legs by the water. and the chilotes being so close to the sea

didn't even have an embassy in the solomon islands. we had closed it, but the solomon islands are very important to australia. and australia, of course, is very important to the united states. and over the years, the last decades as china has become ascendant, every thing in the pacific rim region has become more and more important to the cia as an intelligence issue. if the cia can in some way impede chinese development or expansion even in a little place, like the solomon islands, they're willing to give it a try. and that's why all of a sudden the solomon islands are very important to the united states or impede chinese influence. indeed, you know, the united states has the of the monroe doctrine, where we view any foreign military attack on any country in north central or south america as an attack on the united states. well, with the same logic, the chinese a, you know, ought to have respected their own sphere of influence. at least that's the chinese point of view, right? i mean, on a map that would make sense, right? well, so u.
