The Gozo Minister Anton Refalo, with his splendid 1930s centre-parting, and the Chinese ambassador
The Malta Independent reports:
China ambassador to Malta Cai Jinbaio on Saturday conducted an official visit to the island of Gozo.
He was welcomed by Gozo Minister Anton Refalo.
Dr Refalo requested support from Mr Jinbaio so that Gozo would host a Chinese garden, same as Malta.

And Cai Jinbaio asked Dr Refalo if he wanted salt ‘n vinegar on his fish and chips.
Gotta love a stereotype.
Surely he meant host a Chinese gardener.
What a chain of fucking idiots. From the minister right down to the reporter all the way to the editor. A place cannot “host” a garden, as if it were a person or an event. What an giant twerp.
And “support”? The Chinese Garden in Santa Lucia wasn’t built “with Chinese support”. It was built by China, fullstop.
If anything, it was Malta that gave its support, by giving its (overly) enthusiastic approval and then easing the long and difficult administrative process (because, as with all Chinese projects, there were some very weird strings attached).
Finally, ambassadors don’t conduct official visits. They are mere representatives of their state, not stand-ins for their heads of state or government. And no one can conduct “an official visit to Gozo”, because Gozo is not a separate state. It is part of Malta (and two fingers to all Gozitan nationalists).
But this is Malta, where people believe the Earth is flat, so move along, nothing to see here.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat.
Ruing the day you ever took on Maltese citizenship, are you? Well, don’t say I hadn’t warned you.
I like Malta, Baxxter, however, as you have just experienced, Switzerland is the land of dreams. Ya just gotta see the chalet. Beats the looney evangelist.
Praise da Lordah, Harry! Halley-loo-yaaah! Might I interest you in some Nigerian bonds?

It’s not OK for African immigrants to come here, but it is OK for us to be taken over by China.
He is a lawyer but for all that he remains and thinks like a gabillot.
That’s not Anton Refalo – That’s Ferenc Puskas.
