Another example of your walmart money at work ( 2019 news I found while researching WWII Guadalcanal)

(Reuters) - The battlefields of Guadalcanal, in the Solomon Islands, draw visitors from the United States and its war allies, as well as those from Japan, decades after the bloody campaign in the South Pacific ended. But in recent weeks, some visitors say they have been prevented from accessing one of Guadalcanal's most significant World War II sites, which includes a Japanese war monument, after a deal handed control of the land to a company controlled by a Chinese businessman.

Tour operators and the Japanese ambassador to the Solomons say it appears to be a case of a lack of understanding of the significance of the Alligator Creek site by the new owner.

The issue has stirred up debate in the Solomons concerning its new relationship with China, which was formalized in September following the Pacific island nation's decision to sever its diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favor of Beijing.

That decision has frustrated the now aligned United States and Japan, with US officials expressing concern about China's "use of economic and military levers" to increase its influence in the South Pacific.

I do know from recent reports that a major Marine Corps battle site of Alligator Creek was turned into a massive concrete factory.

Let's hope that these business ventures are actually improving the lives of the locals, maybe, crossing my fingers.

I think we are in the breaking bad stage of hopelessness in this country,

and lawlessness of all kinds will soon be out of control. The fascists will have the chaos they always wanted until it comes home to roost.
