Solomon Islanders cast votes in an election that will shape relations with China

Both China and the US are interested in the power structures in the Solomon Islands, aiming to extend their influence in the South Pacific.
Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, a 69-year-old seeking a second term, shifted the Solomon Islands' allegiance from Taiwan to Beijing in 2019.
Even if Sogavare doesn't win re-election, China is expected to support multiple pro-Beijing candidates to secure their influence in the Solomon Islands.
