    In Thailand? I would have to assume Bkk then. Anyway, I would not send my kids to a local school in Melanesia, and frankly would be a bit sceptical in Thailand!

    Chung Wah ends academic year (lyntonaaronfilia.blogspot.com)



    Btw, Chung Wah was not touched during the recent riots. Everyone who is pissed about that, send a red!

    Hardly . . . but well done on the indigenous-bashing . . . all in the name of supporting your cause célèbre, China.

    When compared, the real locals aren't exactly renowned for their business smarts.
    Not when compared to others, perhaps, but they'd do just fine.

    The Chinese are going the wrong way about it.

    They need to load the locals with Kava, keep them peaceful.

    Last Updated: 24th December, 2021 07:56 ISTChina Says It Will Send Troops To Solomon Islands To Curb Riots On Honiara's Request

    As unrest in Solomon island continues to grow, China stepped in to tackle the situation and announced to send its soldiers to the riot-hit nation.


    As unrest in Solomon island continues to grow, China stepped in to tackle the situation and announced to send its soldiers to the riot-hit nation, Sputnik reported. During a regular press conference on Thursday,

    Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian reiterated Beijing's commitment to solving the situation in the island nation. He said a group of police consultants and a consignment of equipment to assist police in the Solomon Islands will be sent in the next few days. However, he clarified it was the request of Honiara to send the Chinese police and not the initiative taken by the Communist government.

    "At the end of November, serious anti-government unrest broke out in the capital of the Solomon Islands, China strongly supported the efforts of the government of the Solomon Islands to ensure stability in the country, '' the Chinese Foreign Ministry said as per Sputnik. Lijian further defended relations between China and the Solomon Islands, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens in the Solomon Islands. The Chinese Foreign Ministry then went on to sharply condemn all unlawful acts of violence in the island region.

    Protestors specially targeted Chinese official buildings

    Notably, the statement from Chinese FM came nearly a month after the Solomon island plunged into a severe riot. The violence erupted in the capital of the Solomon Islands due to concerns about the country’s increasing links with China. In addition, American broadcaster Voice of America (VOA) said that the people of the Island also protested over their decade-old demand related to ethnicity, corruption and disputes over the government's move to enhance ties with China. According to Global Times, the protestors targeted parliament, Chinese businesses and other buildings in the Pacific nation's capital, Honiara, last month.

    The protesters also demanded the stepping down of the incumbent Prime Minister of riot-hit Solomon Island, Manasseh Sogavare. However, he categorically refused to take care of the protestors' demands. He claimed that the violence that swept the capital city, Honiara, was staged by a few people with an "evil goal" to depose him. Further, the Beijing Foreign Ministry said, "Chinese goods and related personnel will arrive in the Solomon Islands shortly and will play a constructive role in enhancing the capacity of the Solomon Islands police force." It is worth mentioning that since the violence erupted in the Solomon Islands, the Prime Minister sought help from several nations including Australia, New Papua Guinea and New Zealand.

    Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s Regular Press Conference on December 23, 2021

    Beijing Daily:

    As we learned, China will provide
    police equipment with and send a police advisory team to Solomon Islands. What is your comment?

    Zhao Lijian:

    The capital of Solomon Islands saw grave anti-government riots in the second half of November. China firmly supports the government of Solomon Islands in defending the country’s stability, resolutely safeguards the relations between China and

    Solomon Islands and the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens there, and strongly condemns any illegal and violent action.


    At the request of the government of Solomon Islands, China will providea batch of emergency riot equipment for the police and send an ad-hoc police advisory team.

    The Chinese supplies and personnel will arrive in Solomon Islands soon, and are expected to play a constructive role in enhancing the ability of the Solomon Islands Police.

    Indian Press reporting China news tends to be somewhat free with their misleading accusations.

    As unrest in Solomon island continues to grow, China stepped in to tackle the situation and announced to send its soldiers to the riot-hit nation.

    News Broadcasting Standards Authority (NBSA) of India demanded Republic TV to tender a full-screen apology for use of multiple objectionable words to describe a bunch of people at a political rally, who were harassing one of his journalists.[115] Republic TV "removed the video from its website and YouTube account" after receiving the complaint[116][117] but refused to comply with the NBSA order, instead filing an appeal.[115]

    In October 2019,

    RepublicTV was again asked to broadcast a public apology, after the channel declined to co-operate in a case accusing Goswami of violating the standard prohibitions on racial and religious stereotyping and instead commented on NBSA to have engaged in "intense pseudo-judicial oversight".[118] Republic TV did not abide by the order;[118] incidentally, Goswami was the convener of the committee that drafted the code, years back.[119]"
