The locals in Honiara, capital of the Solomon Islands, have burned its Chinatown down to the ground, and the Chinese is fleeing the islands for their own safety. Check out this recent event at www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/SYD66015.htm The heart of the issue appears to be the widening economic disparity between the Chinese and the locals, and the unpopularity of the recently-elected prime minister who is viewed by locals to foster continuing government corruption.
