Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou is on a tour of the south Pacific, arriving in Solomon Islands to a warm reception. However, the local Solomons media hasn't been quite so welcoming, with claims that Taiwain's aid money is being abused by politicians. President Ma is in the middle of a week-long tour of the six Pacific nations that recognise Taiwan rather than China.
