Daniel Suidani, a former provincial premier of Solomon Islands who was ousted from office for standing up against Beijing’s foreign interference, says countries need to be very careful when dealing with communist regimes as they don’t share the same values as other parts of the world.

“The [ideology] of communism, ... these people are atheist. They don’t believe in God. We need to be very mindful of this because we will be having a friendship with somebody with different values and principles. So we need to be very careful and the people need to understand before involving in anything with the CCP [Chinese Communist Party],” Suidani, the former premier of Malaita Province, the most populous province in Solomon Islands, told The Epoch Times.
