I too expected it was the Chinese before watching the video. Crazy. The world needs to know what the Chinese are doing. But the Chinese now have propaganda machines all over the world to implant the thought that Chinese culture is great. It’s a distraction. Confusions Institute is one such Chinese government funded propaganda machine installed on college campuses.

Freesoul is facing charges over damage caused by construction of a resort on Malolo island after media revealed massive destruction there. The company is charged with one count of undertaking unauthorised development. It is also charged with a count of failure to comply with a prohibition notice under the Environment Management Act. Under the Act, if convicted, the company and its directors face fines of up to $US345,000 or a term of imprisonment of up to10 years, or both. The case will now be called on the 24 June.

Great Journalism Job. How did you shoot this documentary without even getting caught in the first place. Many locals tried to do a shooting like this but they are either chased away by govt reps for some reasons only known to the people on top using Man in Suits or Man in Uniform as a "blanket" to cover whats really happening in my country. You may need to do another documentary on those land that were once Native but A Freehold Title has been created yet again on the same plot of land. In short, one Plot carries two title i.e freehold & Native Lease. Just to give you an idea of how Indigenous Land Gets Robbed through the assistance of some people sitting on Top. I SALUTE YOU ON YOUR COURAGE TO FILM ONE OF THE MOST SENSITIVE TOPIC IN MY COUNTRY. GOD BLESS YOU.

The US government has followed it for years Allen. Do you forget the Russians moving their ships. No government truly wants war except maybe China, so the US has quietly watched the ccp scourge creep across the Pacific. An economic war has been going on for the last 2 decades. Previous US administrations, not all, allowed it to happen. By the time Trump got into power the ccp already had a war footing and could declare war at anytime. The EU and other western countries have allowed this to happen as they silently bought strategic positions and bought sympathisers all over the Pacific. With the impending expectation of compensation to every country affected by Covid 19, tensions will rise and its likely the ccp will mobilise navy to block trade routes between Aus/Nz and trade partners other than China. Cut off those, already threatening Taiwan, tensions high with Japan and Trump in Murica is a complete wild card. I foresee conbat war within 2 years.

Weary about how the Chinese govt is is expanding its dominance in the Pacific. . Very subtle .. Cunning ..the Pacific leaders know their agenda yet still give in.

The update is, it's still on-going. The Fijian government ALLOWED the Chinese back, to continue development. Fyi...the Chinese also didn't pay the preparations for the damage reefs because Fijian government didn't push the issue. They continue to look the other way.
