23.01.2022 Tonga, Samoa & Vanuatu in Top Rank Three of the world’s most indebted nations to China as a percentage of GDP are in the South Pacific Tonga (2nd on the world... list), Samoa (9th) and Vanuatu (10th). See the accompanying table here. Tonga has already indicated that it is in loan repayment distress; it’s having trouble raising the cash. The situation with Samoa and Vanuatu is unclear. Has the Samoa Government indicated what the collateral has been for its loans from China? Are any assets in the gun if default occurs or loan restructuring is required? The table is from China's Overseas Lending (July 2019). NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research, USA), Working Paper No. w26050. The authors, Sebastian Horn, Carmen Reinhart & Christoph Trebesch, write that there are three key distinguishing features of loans from China, firstly, almost all lending and investment abroad is official; secondly, the documentation of China’s capital exports is opaque; and thirdly, the type of flows is tailored by recipient. Advanced and higher middle-income countries tend to receive money by issuing sovereign bonds purchased by the People’s Bank of China [not the case for the Pacific countries]. Lower income developing economies mostly receive direct loans from China’s state-owned banks, often at market rates and backed by collateral such as oil. It would be good for there to be transparency about interest rates, loans terms and collateral promised by Tonga, Samoa and Vanuatu. Table: per China's Overseas Lending (July 2019).

20.01.2022 THE SUPERNATURAL IN TONGA BY E. E. V. COLLOCOTT (PART 3)... THE TUI TONGA The Tui Tonga when travelling was frequently borne on a litter, though land on which he stood, or houses into which he entered, did not become tabu and therefore unavailable to their former possessors or users. Mats and cloth which he used seem not to have returned to their former owners, but to have become the property of the Tui Tonga. Such articles he seems frequently to have passed over to his retinue. The tabus surrounding the Tui Tonga's person were of course strict. The London Missionary Society's missionaries who arrived in the Duff in 1797 relate that the Tui Tonga going into their house in western Tongatabu requested that they shave him. This ceremony of the toilette was performed, but until everything was safely finished the natives about were in the greatest trepidation lest some of the sacred hair should fall to the ground. The operation of supercision could not be performed in Tonga on the Tui Tonga. He had either to go without the operation or visit Samoa or Fiji for the purpose. CEREMONIOUS SPEECH An interesting example of the tabu surrounding the great chiefs is seen in the opening of ceremonial speeches in their presence. The speaker clears away, group by group, the tabus that would prevent his speaking. He says "Tabu for such a one," using an expression which it is exceedingly difficult to render into English, but whose real significance seems to be, "With all due regard to the tabu of So-and-so." This introductory apology having been completed the speaker will say, "It is now permissible for me to go on with my speech." There are two important sets of these tabu formulae, one for the Tui Tonga chiefs and the other for the Tui Kanokubolu, but naturally enough the practice of thus prefacing a speech is widely extended. In sermons, ordinary addresses, and in conversation, any- thing which the speaker feels should be introduced "saving the presence of " his auditors will be introduced with this apologetic preface. Especially is this the case when mentioning bodily infirmities to a person of superior rank. A commoner would scarcely mention at all a physical defect of a chief to whom he was speaking, at any rate without the license of intimately friendly conversation, but in mentioning the ailments of himself or o6f some other person, at last coming to a point where description languishes for lack of an outright term, the dreadfully blunt truth must be told, "Tabu to you," and the exact condition of a leg or an eye is detailed. Matters which are treated with great reticence by Europeans are discussed by mixed companies of Tongans with perfect freedom and complete absence of embarrassment.

20.01.2022 Queen Slote Tupou of Tonga as Tu'i Fefine By: Elizabeth Wood Ellem In May 1899 the chiefs met to discuss the King's marriage. During the day they talked, and during the night the supporters of the two factions fought in the streets and burned down each other's houses. On 23 May the chiefs voted. Seventeen voted for 'Ofa and seven for Lavinia. The King thanked them, but said that he still wished to marry Lavinia. The chiefs replied that 'no son of Lavinia would ever rule over...Continue reading

09.01.2022 The life and times of Fiji’s first Tui Lau By: John Spurway Ma`afu, born in Tonga about 1825, was a son of Aleamotu`a, Tu`i Kanokupolu and a cousin of Tupou I, king of Tonga. When aged in his early twenties, he came to live in Fiji and within 15 years established a power base to rival that of any indigenous chief. In 1865, a Wesleyan missionary visiting the island of Vanuabalavu paid a call on Ma`afu at his home in Lomaloma. The visitor was impressed: "This man, so knowing, ...Continue reading

07.01.2022 Aleamotu'a; Ma'afu & Christianity By: John Spurway There were three traditional divisions of society in Tonga: the first was the `eiki, consisting of the chiefs and their immediate relatives. This level included holders of the three offices of state as well as heads of the various ha`a, or clans. The second level, again very restricted, consisted of the matapule, who were ceremonial attendants of the great chiefs. The great bulk of the people formed the tu`a, or commoners.
