Tonga king supports China's stance on Taiwan, Tibet in meeting with Hu
April 10, 2008 Thursday
This article reports on the Tongan King Taufa'ahau Tupou V's trip to China. There, he stated that Tonga firmly adheres to the one-China policy, and further, approved of the methods employed by China to handle the incident in Tibet. "The China affairs can only be tackled by China, and no interference from and foreign country is acceptable," said the King, in his official talks in Xinhua.
But who cares about the King of Tonga? It seems like China has rallied the support of an inconsequential little African fiefdom. I mean, if I were China, my first response would not be "Tonga said it was 'ok.'" Why is China hosting this guy when it could be forging tighter relations with anyone else.
