Southeast China's Fujian Province November 23, 2006. Riots triggered by a
disputed parliamentary reform move broke out in Tonga's capital Nuku'alofa last
week, in which eight people were reportedly killed and 80 per cent of the
central business district destroyed. About 30 Chinese-run stores were looted or
burned down. [Newsphoto]
