A young Solomon Islander of Hong Kong descent is carried onto a bus after arriving in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province, April 25, 2006. More than 300 Chinese, including some from Hong Kong, board a chartered flight provided by Beijing that evacuated them from the troubled Solomon Islands after they lost all their possessions in the recent riots in Honiara. More ethnic Chinese fled the country amid rising tensions before parliament opens for the first time since post-election rioting.
