Violence receded Friday in the capital of the Solomon Islands, but the government showed no signs of addressing the underlying grievances that sparked two days of riots, including concerns about the country's increasing links with China.

Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare sought to deflect attention from domestic issues by blaming outside interference for stirring up the protesters, with a thinly veiled reference to Taiwan and the United States.

External pressures were a "very big ... influence. I don’t want to name names. We’ll leave it there," Sogavare said.

There have been unrest in Solomon Islands. Many buildings were set on fire including the National Parliament and Chinatown.

If it's about China, there's a propaganda-problem.  It was originally about new Australian lockdown measures.
