Place pork with soy sauce in dish just large enough to hold it. Cover and marinate in refrigerator overnight or simply marinate while grill is preheating.
Rub five-spice powder all over pork; sprinkle with generous pinches of salt. Place pork on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning occasionally for about 25 minutes or until barely pink in centre and meat thermometer registers 160°F (70°C).
Pear Salsa: Meanwhile, in bowl, combine tomato, orange pepper, basil, red onion, oil, vinegar and pinches of salt and cayenne. Peel pears; cut in half then core. Brush lightly with more oil. Grill during last 5 minutes of cooking pork, turning occasionally until barely tender.
Chop pears; stir into tomato mixture. Slice pork diagonally and serve with salsa.
