China sends a hospital ship to provide medical support for Tongans, and western journalists predictably do the BUT AT WHAT COST? routine. The article does at least highlight some of the positive work they're doing:

Residents came from across Tonga to access the services, including Mele Maka from Tatakamotonga village, who brought her two children for check-ups.

“I am grateful for the free treatment my children received,” she said.

“I brought my nine-year-old son, Fine’eva, and seven-year-old daughter, Silia, to check their ears, eyes and teeth. I’m very pleased to be told that they’re both in good health.”

As of Wednesday, 35 surgeries and more than 3,000 other operations had been performed. Clinics dealing with ophthalmology, orthopaedics and Chinese medicine were among the most visited.
