First - Solomon Islands Riots. Then, Zambia anti-Chinese threats. Now,
Tonga Islands riots. I don't even know where some of these places are
without looking them up on the map!!
But as different as these places are they seem to be united by one
thing in common: anti-Chinese sentiment!!

Feature: Chinese stores looted in Tonga riots
Around 30 Chinese-owned stores in Nuku'alofa, Tonga capital, were
trashed over the last some 20 hours, and the Chinese Embassy is trying
to protect the Chinese living there.
"More than 25 percent of Chinese stores were looted or burned
yesterday, causing big losses to the owners," said Hu Yeshun, Chinese
Ambassador to Tonga, who's got no chance of sleep all night arranging
protection and aid measures.
"We've received over 150 people, whose houses or stores were destroyed
by the mobs," Mr. Hu told Xinhua, adding the Embassy staff are trying
to contact with all Chinese residents to make sure they are alright.
Witnesses said the protestors Thursday set fire to buildings,
overturned cars, looted a supermarket, and threw stones at the Prime
Minister's office, in an dispute with the Cabinet over reform issues in
the South Pacific island monarchy nation of 10, 000 people.
The rioting started after the government deferred its final sitting day
for the year, as thousands of protestors demanded that a vote on the
reforms take place before the house rose.
Reporter from the local news agency, Tonga Now, described looting to
Chinese stores earlier.
"Nuku'alofa is at an inferno. Shoreline headquarters is gone, the
Leiola Duty Free Store, Pacifica Royale (hotel), and major Chinese
outlets are up in smoke..."
"Chinese stores were smashed and empty, save for mobs to carry booty of
everything from toilet paper to boxes of chicken," said Tonga Now
reporter.
Huang Yuguo, official from trade department, Chinese Embassy to Tonga,
drove around the city Friday morning, seeing some Chinese stores burned
down and all the others shut doors tightly.
"It's disastrous for many Chinese living here for generations," said
Mr. Huang.
Running stores has been traditional trade for Chinese since the earlier
immigrants came to the South Pacific island. The hard- working owners
usually preferred to expand number and space of their stores with money
they have saved. And now the Chinese-owned account for a major
proportion of stores in Nuku'alofa, which were subject to looting in
the riots.
Over 500 Chinese live in Nuku'alofa, many of them have taken Tonga for
their only homes. Mr. Hu said so far the Chinese Embassy has not
received any report of Chinese being seriously hurt.
"We are making utmost efforts to avoid any further looting to the
Chinese residents here," said Mr. Hu, adding he has repeatedly urged
Tongan security departments and the Police to tighten measures and
protect Chinese people who have contributed a lot to the island country
and their property.
He said Tongan army and the Police Friday enforced martial law in some
areas and beefed up traffic checks in the city to rein in the
situation.
Mr. Hu said emergency plan was worked out by the Chinese Embassy for
further riots, including withdrawing the Chinese if unfortunately the
situation is out of control.
"And we see it seems to be getting better now," said Mr. Hu.

All over the world? The answer is no. In fact, none hate the Chinese
as much as you do. So, don't get excited.

For someone who claims that he is not a China-basher, this RAK thing
hasn't shown any feelings other than hatred for the whole of the
Chinese ethnic group. All his posts concentrate on how to humiliate and
insult the Chinese. Now, if that is not a China-basher, what is? He
suffers from delusions of grandeur, and even went as far as to say that
he is an "honorary Japanese". Why? Let me guess. Can it be that he is
so ashamed of his Pakistani heritage that he has to look down on his
Chinese adopted parents? Of course. He is such an ugly person that he
admitted openly that couldn't score with White girls. The thing left to
do with such trash is trash him.

I guess China-bashing is the only way RAK could achieve an orgasm.

Not necessarily true. He can be sour graping.

And J Venning's response of "Look carefully at the various newsgroups
to which he directed his posts: China, Singapore, Korea, Japan, and
Taiwan. Has anyone from those newsgroups ever answered any of his troll
posts?" is apt: most posters outside soc.culture.china silently
acquiesce, i.e. few would spring up and reflexively 'defend' China
based on self-delusional fantasy or outdated ideology. Hint: they are
all non-communist and non-third world! Besides, what RAK posted have
been true & verifiable.
