The prime minister’s office of the Solomon Islands has criticized a media report tackling China’s rising influence in the country as biased and racist, as it threatens to block “disrespectful” foreign journalists from entering the country.
The opposition and media groups have described the order of the prime minister as a form of press censorship.
Journalists were attacked while covering protests in Solomon Islands.
