A social media-driven fundraising campaign for young Tongan women reportedly stranded in China has raised concerns among some community members, who question its necessity and credibility as authorities in Tonga and China are already engaged in the case. As Kaniva News reported previously, Tongan woman Aloi Katoa went live on Facebook claiming that three Tongan women were stranded in China and needed financial assistance. The campaign has since prompted an investigation by law enforcement and diplomatic officials, who are verifying the claims and ensuring proper handling of any funds raised. Community leaders urge caution, advising the public to donate only through verified channels until the investigation concludes.
