China funded sports stadium in Solomon Islands following switching diplomatic ties from Taiwan draws criticism

After switching diplomatic ties from Taiwan to China in 2020, Solomon Islands became a geopolitical flashpoint in the pacific. Part of the deal saw China pay for - and build, the country's new national stadium for November's pacific games. The stadium’s become a major talking point in Honiara - many locals support it, but others question why the money wasn't used for areas such as healthcare and infrastructure.
