@carreondet @VanuatuDan @AubreyBelford You have been a great OCCRP colleague, Bernadette! Enjoy England and see you later.

My latest on a rumour that’s been circulating in capital Honiara in recent weeks. I hope it remains a rumour. Hate to see my beloved Solomon Islands taken for another ride. Our people need to go back to the polls…..

This story is bizarre, sprawling, and explains so much of our current moment. China-US rivalry is rising, global institutions are withering away, and everything new seems to turn out to be just another grift.

The Guardian picks up on @OCCRP's reporting on the Solomon Star's China deal.

It contains a new revelation: a Star employee (NB: it's Sasako) angry at recent critical coverage that "makes it very difficult for me to deal with the Chinese embassy... https://t.co/rFRgWPhmi9

[Dan McGarry @VanuatuDan]

Saddened to see that Sasako has missed the point here. The problem isn't that the Star's management got money from China. The problem is that they were willing to sell their editorial integrity in order to get it.

[Aubrey Belford @AubreyBelford]

The thrust of our story was not simply that the Star received Chinese funding. That was already known & not the main issue.

The issue is that they repeatedly promised positive coverage of Chinese efforts in return for money. That should be a red line for journalists.

RNZ has picked up on our latest @OCCRP story on Chinese influence in Solomons media
