Australian police and troops are on their way to the Solomon Islands to help restore order, as the South Pacific nation faces a second day of rioting.
The unrest began when the prime minister switched the country's allegiances from Taiwan to China.
The move angered many people who want the Solomon Islands to continue recognising Taipei.
