Chinatown is a suburb of Honiara, Solomon Islands, located southeast of the main center.
History
After the 2006 general election, there was heavy rioting in Chinatown.[1] Many protestors believed that businesses linked to the Chinese government had rigged the election, and levelled much of the neighborhood.[2]
Chinatown suffered destruction during the 2021 Solomon Islands unrest,[2] with many buildings burned in violent protests.[3] Chinatown, and Chinese businesses in the neighborhood in particular, were targeted by protestors opposed to Manasseh Sogavare due to his policy of recognizing China in lieu of Taiwan.[2][3]
Buildings
