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.

This is the most deadliest, ugly, and racist action that i ever heard from this peaceful tiny island. What is going on? where were the police? why they targeted the Chinese community? These chinese business people help tongans to get cheaper goods in comparision to the other shops! Are the Tongans are jealous because the Chinese know how to work and run business? I couldnt believe what i heard . The tongans who got involved in this stupid riots must ashame of themselves.I am a real Tongan who live in Australia but i feel ashame of what was happenning.

I do not support violence of any type against anyone. but this is the result of government failure and opportunistic behaviour of criminals.There are tongans whom are jealous and some are racist but do not be ashamed of being a Tongan. A true tongan accepts that his or her child maybe be ugly or sick but never gives up on that child. Tongans must move onward peacefully. Tonga also have a weak police force and were not prepared for this types of violence.

It is very distressing to see what is happening back in my home and unbelievable to see the chinese community targetted - the tonga I grew up in was paradise and these people have ruined it forever

It is sad as it reflects poorly on Tonga. The fault lies with everyone -from roaylty down. It is also something the Chinese must think about. If they want to continue doing business in Tonga, they can "insulate" themselves by employing,socialising, living with and integrating with Tongans. They should look at what happened to Chinese in Indonesia, Solomons and Malaysia (in 1969). As for the Tongan elite, the 'free ride' is over. The people won't tolerate your crap any more. Sad, but true.

i bet you Lol you know nothing about the tongan's pyschology and mentality. they demanded before that they elect their own minister. The government gave them the opportunity to do so. Lately they threaten him that he had to climb over the parliament's fence(how disgraceful of a minister to do that). So if they are not satisfy with the minister they elected who only governs a ministry, when will they ever be satisfied with someone who rules the country???...??? of the day!!!!

Daily Horoscope for November 26
Scorpio
Be diligent about sticking to your diet or exercise routine today, because you need to pay attention to your body's health needs now. You'll also need to cover all your bases if you're working today - don't overlook any details unless you want to pay the price next week. Your friends may be urging you to come out and indulge with them tonight, but unless you want to pay the price tomorrow, you'd better turn in early.
