With Gaddafi the agreement was regarding oil extraction, what are the Chinese gaining and the question to ask is who is pocketing the intermediary commissions?

Duh, good for you, La Redoute.

Was it this ‘quota’ which gave rise to the visa-scandal some years back?

I wonder whether any and, if so, which of these companies have Chinese, Saudi, or Libyan backing.

Has someone been selected to front or pitch Chinese investment in Libya and in Saudi?

We were Libya’s whore, now we are about to become China’s whore. Mit-tajjeb ghall-ahjar.

Are you a healthcare professional? Then for the love of god speak up. Get out there. Stir up a shitstorm. You’ll find that some of your colleagues will join you until you reach a critical mass.

This is a decision which shames the University of Malta.

It is an insult to the Themistocles Zammit after whom the aula magna at the Msida campus was named. It is an insult to Albert Fenech, who is now an MP, and who certainly can and should speak out. Chinese medicine has no place in an institute that teaches the scientific method.

It saddens me to say that Juanito Camilleri is no better than the rest of them.

I agree Baxxter. It’s a throwback to the middle ages! In this day and age we should have laws in place identifying that these alternative therapies (homeopathy, traditional medicine, holistic approaches etc) have no therapeutic effect and have been shown by peer-reviewed scientific investigations to basically be one big fraud.

It has worried me no end as a healthcare professional and a scientist to see Malta start to slip down the slippery slope of alternative medicine. The authorities (including the medical and pharmacy councils) need to wake from their slumber and approach this threat to Maltese healthcare

Who says the power station contract hasn’t been awarded to a Chinese company?

Good. Then our home-grown morons will focus on what really matters.

It’s perfectly believable. Labour’s shadiness is fathomless.
