China hits back at Australia over claims Beijing is spreading false narratives in SI


 On Saturday China  slammed a recent report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, which claimed that China is attempting to "spread false narratives and suppress information on a range of topics" in the Solomon Islands. Chinese authorities said such move is an ineffective attempt to stir trouble.

There is no doubt that the Chinese Communist Party is all over Solomon Islands influencing its decision making, and its domestic policies. This is a violation of all diplomatic decorum where domestic issues are left to the governing bodies, not foreign entities. In the months after booting China out of the country, China wanted to ensure no one in the country had any connection to Taiwan. No only did the government of Sogavare pushed hard against any provinces that still remained loyal to Taiwan, it was doing so at the best of Beijing. Sogavare had attacked the Malaita Province, and attempted to unseat the pro-Taiwanese premier Suidani. The Suidani government was shaken and infiltrated, but remained intact. Most elected Malaitans remained loyal to Suidani and wanted their premier to do what he was doing because they supported it. This infuriated no only China but the SIG. 

Additionally, the Chinese government affected Sogavare government in profound ways. They funded Sogavare's fight against a NCM, a violation of foreign interference in domestic politics of the country. He went on to win his fight against Matthew Wale. Later on, evidence of Chinese money in play in the country's domestic came to light that the Chinese government had paid all MPs who backed Sogavare to the tunes of hundreds of thousands each, and millions of dollars in total. 

Furthermore, China was behind Sogavare's recent push to extend his term to another year there causing a constitutional crisis, which he got away with it. In a country that lacked government watchdogs, such move was seen as blatantly unconstitutional, but Sogavare got away with it. But what is China saying? 

China has always upheld the principles of mutual respect, equal treatment, mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, openness and inclusiveness. Read more 

These Chinese mouthpieces should know that "mutual respects" and "equal treatment" have no place in the domestic affairs of the country. But we know from China's dealings with foreign government, and that is they are in to benefit from it directly, and they achieved that by weakening the government of the host nation by overwhelming it with money they can't pay back, or burden it with so much that debt that the host country cannot afford to letdown. In other words, the host country is beholden to the Chinese government - they must do what the Chinese said. This "mutual benefit" is a code word for - we give you tons of money, you do what we want. This simply validated what the Australians are whining about.

Sogavare is a dangerous paranoid prime minister

The Australian government has donated police vehicles and deadly weapons to the Solomon Islands' government per the request of the prime minister of the less developed country in the region. The ridiculous thing he said in justifying these deadly weapons is that they are crucial to the prosperity of the country, which is absolutely ridiculous. Besides that, he also accepted donation from China of motorbikes and riot vehicles. Are these weapons necessary or are these so-called powers merely feeding into the paranoia of this mentally unstable prime minister?  Prime Minister Sogavare had been in government since the 90s and was elected in 1997 until now as MP for East Choisel. And he should remember that in the 1980s and 1990s, prosperity defined the country, and though various governments succeeded, and the economy fluctuated, it was largely considered stable until the late 1990s when the SI government decided to buy weapons to protect itself from the threats posed by the PNG Defense...

The government of Sogavare is illegitimate

  The Crooked Prime Minister In 2019, Sogavare was elected as an independent. He didn't have a party that commands the majority of the elected MPs. He didn't have any leg to stand on in terms of party numbers or affiliations. During the negotiation process, Sogavare rounded up Independent MPs and formed a large party in violation of the law. The unethical move granted Sogavare the majority party that required to lead the coalition of parties to form the government. He was able to establish a majority of the coalition and became a clear contender for the office of the Prime Minister.  Illegal maneuvers The other camp led by Peter Kenilorea and Matthew Wale apparently saw Sogavare's maneuvers as an illegal tactic that needed to be addressed by the courts immediately. As such, they sued for the court, as they should, to redress the constitutional impasse. Unfortunately, the judge ruled in favour of Sogavare on a technicality. This doesn't mean the Sogavare's moves were...

Sogavare lied to the world

 SOGAVARE LIED AT THE UNGA The Prime Minister of SI spoke at the United Nations General Assembly, attacking two important key issues he believes that are hurting his government and SI.  First, he went after what he called an effort on 'Social Media' to spread disinformation about his 'China – SI' security pact, which he signed earlier this year. In it, Sogavare claimed that most of the things said about him and his new friends, the Chinese Communist Party, were done deliberately to mislead his country and the world. As a result of that, he said the misleading information led to riots and looting, as we'd seen at the end of 2021.  Secondly, Sogavare attacked – indirectly – Australia and its allies such as the US and Britain. Choosing a foreign partner is the right of a sovereign, independent state. He argued that his government's partnership with the Chinese government is solely for the interest of the country, and decried any perception that SI was becoming an a...
