Solomon Islands

 To the best of my knowledge, the only mention of this Commonwealth nation on BBC TV in the last few days has been in a round of the Pointless quiz. However, recent events may prove significant in the struggle to resist dominance by the Chinese dictatorship of the Pacific region.

Australian police are in the capital Honiara at the request of the authorities after days of rioting. Discontent had been rising over the high level of unemployment, but it seems that the softening of the attitude of the prime minister towards the Xi regime is a significant factor.
