Australia to set aside $29 million to fund police deployments in Solomon Islands as it tries to counter China 's influence in the Pacific With eyes on China 's influence in the region, Canberra says it will allocate $29 million for deployments in the Solomon Islands. Australia will set aside $29 million to fund police deployments in Solomon Islands in next week's budget, part of an increase in spending in the Pacific intended to shore up its standing in the region where China holds considerable sway. "Our assistance will help our regional partners become more economically resilient ... and provide their own security so they have less need to call on others," Foreign Minister Penny Wong said in a speech at the Pacific Way conference at the University of French Polynesia on Friday.

The photo, however, has been shared in a false context. It actually shows a protest by an anti- China organisation during the Congress in the US city of Los Angeles. As far as I know is it crime to be anti- communist...So to whom that hurt ..just too bad Thanks for the Fact Check.

China claims right to protect consulate as Britain decries assault China says its diplomatic missions abroad have the right to “take necessary measures” to maintain security after UK police opened an investigation into the assault of a Hong Kong protester. One question for NBC NEWS, If US embassy was hit by a similar attack. What will the US embassy do ?

You don’t call intrusion into consulate property and violence against diplomats an assault, yet you call the efforts to stop the violence an assault? No wonder your Twin Towers were hit and left in ruins as it seems that you virtually welcomed terrorist attacks.
