    I expected better standard of English from Xinhua news agency. Daphne you keep mocking the Maltese for their poor English.

      At least the Chinese have good Mandarin. Look at the Maltese …

        Most Maltese people lack the ability to speak Mandarin fluently. Of course, there are very few people in the world (outside of those born in China) who are fluent in Mandarin, so I’m not really sure what your point is.

    Well, in China there would be an undertone of admiration for Dalli’s scam. They love this stuff.

      We should send a trade delegation to China as quickly as possible while we are in the news there. We will not have to explain that bit that we are part of the EU…

    Maybe he’ll use it to make business connections in China as well. Reno Calleja, watch out.

    Dalli should be overjoyed. Was it not him who used to moan about being a prisoner in Brussels?

    Please Daphne can we have a caption competition for the J Dalli BA picture.

    Here’s the first one:
    ” They got me by the short and curlies just like this.”

      “This is my last night in the 7-star (see behind me) prison in Brussels. I hope the ones in Malta have been upgraded.”
