&#039;....This isn&#039;t the first disaster in China surrounding these projects. Since July of last year, six bridges have collapsed in China. And although government officials like to blame overloaded trucks, many Chinese believe such a situation should be functionally impossible, just as it is in the United States where bridges are built with substantial safety margins......&#039; 

You see Raphael, sometimes having a Christian conscience helps, life being sacred and all that.  When is it you&#039;ll participate in this place? Stick to the subject perhaps?]]></description>

Is it just this one church school or is it going to be done in all church schools?  Why church schools?]]></description>

Chinese is not the most widely spoken language in the world. English is. Chinese is spoken by a large number of people, most of whom are Chinese living in China.

It&#039;s useful to understand and also to speak Chinese, but if it becomes necessary here, that&#039;s only because of Muscat&#039;s short sightedness about getting into power so that he can feel important.]]></description>

We&#039;re subject to them already. Muscat was voted in as Prime Minister, wasn&#039;t he?

And while we&#039;re on the subject, shouldn&#039;t he explain what he talked about in those meetings he had with a shadowy international fixer called Shiv Nair?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recently received an email from my daughter&#039;s (church) school informing us that as from next year they&#039;ll be offering free after-school lessons in Chinese language and culture for both parents and students.  I must admit to having mixed feelings.  On the one hand Chinese is the most widely-spoken language in the world and it&#039;s always good to acquire another language I guess.   On the other hand, I got a creepy feeling, because I thought perhaps this is just the beginning of Chinese becoming a required language for sixth form as Arabic was in my day due to our cosiness with Libya.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Was it ever going to be otherwise? 

Else why the emphasis on going for seaborne gas supplies, huge gas storage tanks and a regasification plant, when logic, economics, environmental considerations, public safety, and just plain common sense, favour an EU substantially subsidised gas pipeline connecting Malta directly to the EU energy grid.]]></description>
