- The battle fields 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.
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. “I would like the problem settled in a peaceful way,” Japan’s ambassador to the Solomons, Shigeru Toyama, told Reuters by phone from the capital, Honiara.“I hope they will pay much attention to the monument and will reconcile how to preserve it,” said Toyama.
JQY is registered to Chinese businessman Yang Jiangqing, who was part of a delegation that accompanied Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare to Beijing last month where the two countries signed several commercial agreements.The bloody battles that occurred near Alligator Creek - sometimes referred to as the Battle of the Tenaru or Battle for Hell’s Point - were part of a major American-led offensive in 1942 to take control of the island and its strategic airfield.
