The correct answer is - True.
The majority of the manufacturing plants in the Pacific Island nations are of foreign origin. Despite the fact that these nations are independent, at leas most of them, they are mostly not able to sustain themselves, and economically are heavily dependent on foreign assistance.
Manufacturing plants from USA, UK, and France are dominating in these nations. They manufacture numerous things, mostly for export. Lot of jobs on the islands have been opened in these manufacturing plants for the natives, and the economies of these nations are very dependent on them, with the only other income coming from tourism.
