Aussie doesn't want the South Pacific countries to worship them and yet gives little aid. No wonder, they embrace the Ah Tiongs. Now, the Aussies are jealous. Watch part 2 of the video as well.

Why does any country need to give other country aid? And heaps of Pacific islanders have migrated to kiwi and Ozland..is that not aid? Perhaps these Pacific islanders can migrate to ah tiong land and get heaps of ah tiong aid.
When a country gives aid to another it has nothing to do with charity or trying to help. It's all about buying influence and votes at the UN.
The problem is that once aid is withdrawn by one country another country will be only too happy to fill the void in order to serve their own strategic interests.
Maybe it's a good thing to let the ah tiongs deal with them. Than see if the ah tiongs will take the BS from these Pacific countries n their beggar thy neighbor policies
usa TOO

Yes let's have ah tiong land control everything. Since the ang Mors so bad. Maybe getting a dose of ah tiong imperialism will let's these countries appreciate the ang Mors even more. N Indonesia n south Korea also seek IMF help. How come they can overcome the debt trap while these Greeks etc continue to more in economic misery? Is it the IMF or Greek attitudes?

The Tongan Government will soon begin making repayments on controversial Chinese loans that critics have said saddled the small Pacific nation with unsustainable debt.
Key points:
Two-thirds of Tonga's $240 million external debt is owed to China's Exim Bank
China granted an extension to the loans' grace period but refused to convert them into a grant
Tonga's Chinese debt is held up by some as a prime example of China's debt-trap diplomacy
Tonga's Prime Minister Akilisi Pohiva recently confirmed his Government would start to repay the principal on two loans worth around $160 million from China's Export Import Bank.
The loans from 2008 and 2010 were used, in part, to rebuild the central business district in the capital Nuku'alofa after riots in 2006.
Tonga: Govt to start repaying Chinese loans

Mr Pohiva told a press conference last week that his Government would continue to ask China to waive the debt.
"Our journey now into the future is that we would keep on asking China to divert this loan into a grant," he said, according to the Matangi Tonga news website.
China did grant a five-year extension to the loans' grace period but so far has refused the request to convert them into a grant.
Tonga is still recovering from the impact of Tropical Cyclone Gita which struck the main island of Tongatapu in February and caused about $210 million worth of damage, equivalent to nearly a third of the country's gross domestic product (GDP).
In this year's budget the Government said much of its efforts would be focused on recovery and reconstruction.

ABC NEWS: ERIC TLOZEK
The budget papers put Tonga's total external debt at about $240 million dollars — that's 41 per cent of GDP. Nearly two-thirds of that is owed to China's Exim Bank.
Principal repayments on the two loans will see the Government's foreign debt repayments double to $15.6 million this financial year.
That's more than the $11 million dollars the Government has budgeted for post-cyclone reconstruction work.
"There are definitely people in Tonga who would be feeling disappointed, let down," Graeme Smith, an expert on China's activity in the Pacific at the Australian National University, said.
"But certainly, they can't say no-one warned them that this day would come."
Mapping China's aid program

Tonga's Chinese debt is held up by some as a prime example of what's been called China's debt-trap diplomacy in the Pacific region.
Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop is among those to voice concerns about the potential for unsustainable debt burdens to erode the sovereignty of Pacific Island nations.
But there is also criticism of the previous Tongan government that took on the loans and its management of the funds.
"Money was left over, it got put towards renovating the Royal Palace in Tonga which definitely gives no return to Tonga as a whole," Dr Smith said.
"Also it was complicated in the sense that even the money for the reconstruction was then re-loaned out to a few Tongan businesses and they haven't paid back the loan of the loan."
Dr Smith said he believes Tonga's handling of the Chinese loans should serve as a warning to other Pacific Island nations.
"How well Chinese aid is used comes down to the state of governance in the recipient country, and if your recipient country isn't able to handle the money sensibly or in a transparent way, then you get problems like this," he said.

Why do you keep referring to the "illegal opium trade" when the treaty of Tientsin made it officially legal.
The Treaty of Tientsin, now also known as the Treaty of Tianjin, is a collective name for several documents signed at Tianjin (then romanized as Tientsin) in June 1858. They ended the first phase of the Second Opium War, which had begun in 1856. The Qing, Russian, and Second French Empires, the United Kingdom, and the United States were the parties involved. These treaties, counted by the Chinese among the so-called unequal treaties, opened more Chinese ports to foreign trade, permitted foreign legations in the Chinese capital Beijing, allowed Christian missionary activity, and legalized the import of opium.
They were ratified by the Emperor of China in the Convention of Peking in 1860, after the end of the war.
prince kung, brother of the emperor of china, signed the treaty of tianjin, and later it was ratified by the emperor. he sure looked like an opium addict. even court officials were caught on camera smoking opium. they all loved opium; that was why the emperor and his bro were quick to jump on the treaty.
Unequal treaty... that is the keyword.
Read on .... Chinese finally forced upon themselves to grow own opium to compete with BE opium prices which changed to whole trade upside down.
Then the Yelliw Peril begins China is going to flood the West and America with Chibese opium.
Does the BE unqual treaty apply to the Yellow Peril or stopped completely.
This BE opium trade does not end in China but BE continued monopoly opium trade in SEA and its colonies targeting mainly Chinese population in their own colonies..
Hey, dig in to expose Chao angmoh opium trade in Singapore and come clean with their history and attack Chinese population in their colonies.
My grandparents smoked opium and I hv to bring her to opium den often each week.
As such who was the opium smugglers under BE regime. It has become BE was the opium lord and control opium trade in Singapore.
Very evil race ahh .... make opium available to mainly Chinese population to politically weaken Chinese population is it....
This evil trade practice against Chinese must be revenge 报仇雪恨 and 杀鸡敬猴 teach this evil white to behaved and continue to worry awaiting Chinese revenge in the near future.
Need to compensate and payback war crimes and illegal trade, unequal trade, against the Chinese....
Fuck the Chao angmoh... kill China with illegal unequal treaty as a mean ways to make money for building America.... Many US universities were built from opium money... very shameless disgusting revil race...
Confront yr history with shame and pay back the opium money to China...

Since when have any treaties been equal. They are signed only when one party wants to consolidate their dominance and the other wants to limit their losses.
Political implication to drug Chinese with opium was to apply flase flag lies to their own people that the whites are superior race on this planet and are God people, according to their Bible, and in the Far East the Chinese tea growers were opium drug addicts.
The Far East Asia Chinese race were inferior race, and AMDK world No.1 race, racist angmoh discriminate Far East Asia as inferior laid back race. Too ashamed to glorify Chinese are superior race which the West can associate with as equal. Must go destroy other race to flase flag glorify themselves shamelessly.
So today Donald Trump repeatedly says Chinese Chinese cheats and steal and the return of Chinese Yellow Peril must be stopped... ahhhhhh...

Since angmoh kpkb on steel and aluminium unequal treaty why not recall the unequal opium trade with China and continue the opium trade again.
The return Yellow Peril is welcome by the Chinese and Chinese power gunboats of fire powers are waiting for the American gunboats...
