Recently, the solomilla capital of the Solomon Islands was in an accident, mainly targeting chinese and Chinatowns. Smoke billowed from the scene, and many Chinese people had accumulated for many years and were destroyed. Where is the Solomon Islands and why is such an event happening?
The Solomon Islands are located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, northeast of Oceania, and belong to the Melanesian Islands. The Solomon Islands are 1600 km southwest of Australia, 485 km west of Papua New Guinea and southeast of Vanuatu.
Solomon Islands is an archipelago and a country name, with a land area of 28,400 square kilometers, and is the fourth largest country in Oceania, which is lined with small island states, after Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.
Most of the land in the Solomon Islands is between 6 and 12 degrees south latitude and has a tropical rainforest climate with hot years and no dry season.
The indigenous Solomon Islands are Melanesians, with a population of about 720,000, 94.5% of whom are Melanesians.
In 1568, it was discovered by the Spaniards and named the Solomon Islands, and later changed hands among the Dutch, British, German and other colonists, and in 1893, the "British Solomon Islands Protectorate" was established. Japan occupied the Solomon Islands during World War II, britain made a comeback after World War II, and in 1978, the Solomon Islands became independent and remains a member of the Commonwealth.
Solomon Islands is a miniature version of Indonesia (the country of ten thousand islands), with more than 900 large and small islands in the whole territory, the largest guadalcanal island, with an area of 5302 square kilometers, and the capital Honiara is in the north of the island. The Pacific War of World War II, the Battle of Guadalcanal, which changed the course of history, took place here.
Guadalcanal is a volcanic island with a maximum elevation of 2,335 meters above sea level and is heavily wooded for easy hiding.
The Japanese occupation of Guadalcanal would cut off the life routes of the United States and its Western allies Australia and New Zealand.
Australia's mainland is large and mineral resources, and if the Japanese army can occupy Australia, it will reverse the passive strategic situation facing the United States in one fell swoop after the Battle of Midway. Japan is a country with few people and many people, while the Australian mainland is sparsely populated, which is an ideal place for Japanese people to move. As for the East Asian continent, not only is the population large, which makes the Japanese Army fall into a bitter battle, but the naval warships cannot penetrate deeply, and the Japanese as a whole have almost become an illusion to move to the East Asian continent.
During World War II, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and occupied the Solomon Islands. For the United States to maintain shipping lanes with Australia, it must take Guadalcanal, which is controlled by Japan.
The Battle of Guadalcanal was fought for half a year, with the Allied forces, mainly the United States, investing 60,000 people and the Japanese army investing 36,000. The Allies lost 29 warships, 615 aircraft, and more than 7,100 dead. The Japanese lost 38 warships, more than 800 aircraft, lost 31,000, captured 1,000 people, and nearly destroyed the entire army.
The fiasco and cruelty of the Battle of Guadalcanal can be called "epic" in the history of human warfare. Some people in Japan still believe that losing the Battle of Midway still has a chance to make a comeback; losing the Battle of Guadalcanal will enter the countdown.
After World War II, Britain made a comeback, but it was no longer enough. In 1978, the Solomon Islands officially emerged from the clutches of the United Kingdom and became a country, but remained a member of the Commonwealth.
Seventy years after the end of World War II, the Solomon Islands are still of great strategic value to the United States. As a "Western country", Australia is only the United States, even more hardcore than the United Kingdom. To ensure maritime communication with Australia, the general route is the west coast of the United States (Pacific coast) - Hawaiian Islands - Solomon Islands - Australia's east coast.
In 2019, the Solomon Islands severed ties with the authorities of Taiwan Province of China and established diplomatic relations with China, which made the United States very unhappy.
Suedani, the governor of Maleta province and leader of the opposition, demanded the ouster of Prime Minister Sogavare and the severance of diplomatic relations with China. Guadalcanal, where the capital is located, covers an area of about 5,302 square kilometers and has a population of about 156,000. Located east of Guadalcanal, Marletta island has a population of about 160,000 square kilometers of 4,307 square kilometers. Mareta Island is a little smaller, but has a slightly larger population and has the capital to compete with the capital.
Suedani stubbornly maintained relations with our province of Taiwan and refused to invest in the province by companies with ties to Chinese mainland. In October 2020, the United States made approximately $25 million in donations to Maleta.
In May 2021, Suydani also traveled to Taiwan on the grounds that he was going to see a doctor. During the epidemic period, the authorities of Taiwan Province also provided epidemic prevention materials to Maleta Island separately.
In November 2021, incidents against Chinese and Chinatown broke out in the capital Honiara. The Solomon Islands have no army, just over 800 police. Following a request from Solomon Islands Prime Minister Sogavare, Australia began deploying troops and police to intervene in the situation in the Solomon Islands. Australia has a lot of investment in the Solomon Islands, and it is really going to be a big mess in the country, and the losses for Australians are not small.
Solomon Islands Prime Minister Sogavare said in an interview: "The 'only problem' behind this incident is the shift of diplomatic relations around the Solomon Islands in 2019 from Taiwan Province of China to Chinese mainland. Unfortunately, it's influenced and agitated by other big powers, and I don't want to name them, but we all know who they are. ”
What the United States and Australia have done, we can understand to a certain extent, after all, the hearts of non-ethnic species must be different. But why should Chinese in some places incite other races to target fellow Chinese?
Chinatown is not only Chinese in mainland China, but also Includes Chinese in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and Chinese around the world, and the Solomon Islands only gave up diplomacy with Taiwan Province in 2019, and there must be many Taiwanese in local Chinatown.
Some Chinese incite other races to harm Chinese compatriots, their hearts are reprehensible!
When the Lu state Jisun clan wanted to attack the small state of Zhuān yú, Confucius dissuaded: "I am afraid of Ji Sun's worries, not in The Xiao Dynasty, but also within the Xiao Wall." ”

Some people of insight have realized that the recent incidents in Lithuania and the Solomon Islands belong to the small country of Taiwan, and the fundamental problem is still in Taiwan Province, which is within the Xiao Wall. If the Taiwan issue is not resolved for a day, the Chinese world will never have a day of peace.
