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.

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...

Is Sogavare really in control of SI?

  If you put water in a glass container and watched for days, you won't see any change to the water, the clarity, depth and its movement. But if you put a hard object inside that water, it changes everything. It changes the stillness of the water, its depth, and coloring if the object is colored. Your conclusion is, the foreign object changed the nature of the water. In this analogy, your conclusion is simply - the foreign object changed everything.  Sogavare and China Since China entered SI, everything changed and continues to change. The election dates are deferred, foreign Naval ships are being subjected to new standards, reaction to foreign diplomat changed, views on human rights changed, regional security also changed, and new standard for accepting foreign money also changed. So, the new changes and be summed up this way - they come along because of the Chinese government's presence in SI.

Sogavare is pimping out his country for cash

  The Prime Minister of Solomon Islands is pimping out his country like a pimp sending out his prostitutes to sleep with total strangers for cash. It is unbelievable what he is doing in SI. Here are the pimping parallels:  1. Sogavare invited China in, kicking Taiwan out. China enters SI and started building the country's sporting infrastructure.  2. Working with China's main Asian rival, Japan on key projects.  3. Met with Australian leaders and then Australian prime minister to discuss cooperation between the two countries.  4. Australia provided funds for the Pacific Games in Honiara. Also Australians have been in the country since 2021 providing important services to the country. And also training SI police for the upcoming SP Games. 5. Met with the US president in Washington, D.C. and had his name down as one of the signees of the Pacific/US partnership, though his embassy retracted.  6. Claims FBI is going to train SIRP.  7. Just yesterday, sent ...
