Bloomberg report: China planning “massive new embassy in Malta”, larger than that of the United States
Isn’t it absolutely tragic that we have to go to the international press for the real news about our own country? While Malta’s journalists hop and skip like wallabies down every yellow brick road of distraction set up by the Labour Party and its Evil Click, the international news agencies can see what’s coming next, and tell us about it.
Bloomberg today reports on China’s growing stranglehold on Malta – a significance missed almost entirely by our own newspapers, columnists, Opposition politicians, and trade-and-industry associations:
China is now planning construction of a massive new embassy in Malta, expected to be even bigger than the large U.S. embassy.
Do we need to have it spelled out to us even further? China is establishing a military and intelligence base in the Mediterranean.
China’s demand for and insistence on a large tract of land at Pembroke had begun already as far back as 2007. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding this demand. Now, under Labour, that China will get its mammoth embassy is taken for granted.
The United States embassy here really needs to sharpen up its act if it didn’t see this new Special Relationship with China coming. Over the last 18 months or so I’ve been picking up on the feeling – nothing specific, just a hunch through observing connections – that the US embassy has built far stronger links with the Labour Party than it has done with the Nationalist Party, and this even when the former was in Opposition.
I think this might have been due to some misguided idea that the Labour Party’s ideology and political agenda are closer to those of the US Democratic Party, because what they did and said was taken at face value by the US embassy just as it was by the Maltese electorate.
Now the US embassy in Malta might be waking up to the fact that the Labour Party was much closer to China all along, and might well even have been funded by that country.

Is this the surprise in the budget?
“Government of Malta to sell land to China for new Embassy for the price of Euro XXX hundreds of millions of Euro.”
Or are they planning to submit a land reclamation project, where they can have a private port for nuclear submarines and navy vessels?
Foreign policy must feed into the budget – that’s what Alex Sceberras Trigona, Labour’s International Secretary, had said.
And last week Joseph Muscat told Bloomberg that our relations with the EU are now part of domestic policy, whereas our foreign policy deals with non-EU countries like China.
Spot on Ciccio, every agreement carries his signature, ‘mhux fl-interess tal-poplu’ et al.
Plans for the freeport next, given that Marsaxlokk may disrupt operations, traffic coordination and control may be required.
Dunno how a Gozitan sets up a thriving weapons cottage industry. We’ve been there.
Explains Labour’s hostility to Palumbo. He’s in the way.
The US ambassador is personally invested in diversity issues. The remaining diplomatic aspects of her work are delegated to the embassy professional staff.
She was led to believe, by individuals such as Kenneth Zammit Tabona and Gabi Calleja, who socialize with her regularly, that the MLP is the only party of diversity.
The ambassador fell for that because she has no idea about the back story, and even less idea who and what Kenneth ZT is, his erotic/romantic infatuation with Joseph Muscat, the way this has allowed Muscat to manipulate him.
The US ambassador foolishly equated the token LGBT flag used by the MLP with the real diversity that is practised in the USA, and even by the Nationalist Party in Malta. She is new to Malta and a stranger to Maltese hypocrisy, and one cannot really blame her for being so naive and manipulated.
I am sure the US is not that naive. They know that the PL is the national socialist party which counts avowed xenophobes amongst its most visible supporters. I mean just take a look at Ms. Tua for starters. What an ironic post for a person to have. That would be like making Churchill the head of the anti-smoking campaign, cigarette in mouth.
The US just knew that PL would win so they are doing the same as what the rest of us a doing – damage control. The EU has its hands full and the US is distracted at the moment and is moving its gaze to the Pacific. Hence, Malta would be irrelevant were it not for the fact that any cementing of the China-Malta relationship (slavery) would affect the US’s attempts at containing China. So yes, I think that the US and the EU must be having some very interesting exchanges with regard to China buying Malta’s EU veto as well as its future.
The EU probably now knows that unlike Austria (the Jorg Haider years) Malta cannot be brought down as China will just keep injecting it with cash thus aggravating the slavery. This does not look good at all. It is going to take decades to get us out of this now. Thanks switchers, but more importantly thanks to all of the socialist faithful – you and your children will suffer too.
I’m truly shocked how all it took to destroy Malta’s democratic credentials was a mere 6 months of a Labour government.
Wilful blindness, political myopia and deliberate ignorance are the fateful problem. Muscat’s government is merely the result of an underlying cause.
Wake up America and smell the coffee.
One of the US ambassador’s key social contacts here is Kitten from Malta. That pretty much tells you all you need to know about her network in Malta. Labour all the way.
It’s more likely to be a case of “keeping your friends close and enemies closer.”
I don’t think the closer relationship has anything to do with any ideology.The Americans may be many things, but naive they are not.
They just saw the writing on the wall (as most people did) and took the pragmatic approach. If anything they may have been the first to notice the ‘China ‘ connection.
To be honest I don’t think the US will fret either way. It is more interested in (finally) catching up with what is going on in Africa.
Funny how a BBC report put emphasis on Obama’s propensity to distraction when it comes to Asian interests.
How China’s filling the vacant space every time he doesn’t show up, that’s the third time in a row last week.
Back to the 70s when the Chinese, under the Mintoffian Regime, took possession of a part of St. Angelo in Vittoriosa.
I hope that the so called switchers are happy now. Mintoff sold our national soul to Gaddafi to get money for his children allowance’s scheme. Muscat is selling our national identity for 200 million Euros when the EU has given Malta much more than that!
Some switchers might be happier than others, you know… Chinese young men make great house boys. U ifhimni.
The tin foil brigade are strangely silent. I suppose it goes to show which side they’re really on.
China is now planning construction of a massive new embassy in Malta,
This is going to be built at Pembroke, somewhere between Australia Hall and St. Catherine’s school. Perhaps Labour will earn some extra pocket money by leasing Australia Hall to them too. Hadn’t it been sequestered for the Labour Party’s own use?
