Chinese evacuaees from Solomon Islands leave for China
font size    

Three hundred and ten Chinese evacuated from the strife-torn Solomon Islands left for China Monday afternoon from Papua New Guinea's capital Port Moresby on board a chartered Boeing-777.

So far the Chinese government has completed the evacuation of Chinese from the Solomon Islands capital of Honiara, which witnessed two days of riots sparked by the controversial election of new Prime Minister Synder Rini last week.

The plane took off from China earlier in the day and arrived at Port Moresby hours later.

The Chinese government started to evacuate Chinese from Honiara Saturday. The evacuaees arrived at Port Moresby on board four chartered planes.

The Chinese were the main target and victims of the riots in Honiara. Chinatown was nearly leveled down following looting and arson. Many of the Chinese are homeless now after their property lost and business ruined in the two-day riots starting on April 18.
