Chinese passport-buyer’s Italian minder to Maltese journalists: “Go away and steal some chickens!”

Because, you know, we’re Maltese islanders so it follows that we’re peasants unlike a shabby Italian mafioso and the exploiter of communism in his charge.
If you respect your citizenship so little that you sell it for cash to all-comers, this is the kind of respect you get in return.

Steal some chickens says the man running away to hide along with his boss, also afraid to show his face.
In fact, why is secrecy needed?
Muscat has prostituted Malta. We couldn’t – and shouldn’t – have expected any better.
Where do they think that have landed? Malta enjoys liberty and reporters are allowed to investigate.
This is not China. Are we now going to call this Chinese billionaire a European, when European values are alien to him?
Where are the Gensna fans now? There’s a barrani right there dismissing the Maltese as chicken-thieves.
It is obvious why the ‘Chinese billionaire’ did not want his face to be shown on TV. China does not allow dual citizenship.
Possibly the Chinese was promised by Henley and Something that he will enjoy total secrecy in this island of chicken thieves.
PLEASE, PLEASE Daphne ask all your international spies to discover who this Chinese ‘billionaire’ is… only you can manage it :-) We want to know our new Maltese ‘brethren’!
Could it be Huang Nubo?
The real names will be kept secret whatever the law says.
The names on the passports will be aliases.
The whole scheme is so filthy no applicant can afford to have his name made public.
Yesterday’s incident proves my point.
The guy was probably Bongu Huna, a Maltese citizen.
At the moment he goes by Chi Ca Tse.
is it him?
Baxxter, let’s give some context about Huang Nubo.

That Iceland connection reminds me of an episode when a certain Maltese politician advised Iceland to stay out of the EU.
The questions raised about Huang Nubo’s business in Iceland show how other countries treat Chinese investment.
This is a picture of Huang Nubo – readers should allow for the shade of hair coloring which may change depending on the brand used.

The video here shows Nubo with his son, Sichen. Could Sichen be the young man in the Net NEWS video?

Yet, I think that the Chinese billionaire in the Net footage looks more like Liu Yiqian.

Liu Yiqian is 50 years old, which seems to be close to the age of the man in the Net footage. He is based in Shanghai, and that’s where Mrs. Konrad Mizzi Liang should be stationed.
Liu Yiqian owns Sunline Investment Company, a private investments company based also in Shanghai. Sunline is not exactly a brokerage company – it is more like Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway – but it’s still about investments.
And I have to add another observation about Liu Yiqian.
There seem to be a couple of marks on the forehead of the man in the Net footage (especially one on the left side of his forehead) which seem to appear also in other pictures of Liu Yiqian, including the one I linked to before.
If it is indeed Liu Yiqian, our Jason will be deLIGHTED.

We can hold a huge exhibition of ‘Red Classics’ for V-18, and our Kenneth can write some WONderful reviews.
What was the private jet’s registration ? Anybody knows because it’s a good start.
China does not allow dual citizenship.
Nor do the Gulf states.
Mandate quel filmino a ‘striscia la notizia’ .
I submitted it Salvu. Good suggestion.
They will take it up for sure.
And to Vivienne Reding.
Good idea.
A very good idea!
Fantastic idea.
If this is the “talent” that the sale of Malta (EU) passports by Muscat is going to attract to Malta the sooner we ditch the scheme the better for ALL of us.
If neither China nor the Gulf States allow dual citizenship , how will these prospective clients pass through the ‘strict and transparent due diligence board’? B’min tahseb li qed titnejjek, Joseph?
Of course that he will come running to get his passport since the secrecy clause has not yet been removed.
I’m sure that there are others who have already been given their secret passport. Dr Muscat is playing for time.
In front of his supporters he says ‘noted but no thank you’. Then yesterday he says that he will be having talks with EU Commissioner. Trying to look good.
Malta l-Qahba Taghna Lkoll.
Let’s make it more explicit (thanks to Vince Fabri):
Lil din l-art qaħba,
l-omm li saret tinbiegħ,
Tħarisx Mulej;
Ħallina nagħmlu l-qliegħ.
You should have said: ” … taghhom ilkoll” and it was Muscat who gave it to them cheaply and quicker than anybody else.
That’s what I call fowl language.
Finally journalists being proactive. Well done.
Yes, this is excellent journalism. Well done.
The Italian is only interpreting the impression given by this government. After all, only desperate peasants ask 650,000 euros for their country’s passport.
This is a reminder of the damage being done to Malta’s reputation by Muscat’s government.
These are not the type of people that we Maltese want to have a Maltese/European passport. These people are not welcomed in Malta.
The Italian guy deserves Gieh ir-Repubblika.
After telling us to do a Cyrus or a Natius he invites us to rob a chicken.
In just a few words he succinctly characterises a disgraced nation.
Well done.
The Chinese gentleman seems so young and yet so rich, how did he make it, I wish I knew how.

Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox. Il-barranin ma jghidulniex x’naghmlu.
Imbaghad ghada lanqas fethet ufficjalment l-iskema tax-xiri tal-passaporti u ga gi bicca Taljan jghidilna mmorru nigru wara t-tigieg.
this is what Joseph Muscat got Malta in less than a year. What is going to happen next? Worried .
Oh what a bunch of lovely high-calibre people !
If it is proven, that Mr. Minhuwa Xinhuwa, flown to Malta to collect the passport/s, it should be declared by the authorities.
In the light of this event, and the expeditious manner such potential passport were issued, it is to be explained by the relevant authorities, how the application for citizenship by the spouse of a Maltese citizen last summer, is yet to be acknowledged.
Go steal some chickens
Can this be classified as the first job created from this scheme.
That is what a huge amount of money can do for you, You just think you are God and that us common people are just rubbish.
In Italian, people who help others (regardless of their citizenship) to buy OUR citizenship may be called ‘bastardo’, ‘stupido’,
arrogante’, ‘leccaculo’ or simply ‘bunga bungista.’
Does anyone know the registration number of the plane? With it it may be possible to find out some interesting information freely available on the net, such as its recent movements and possibly even who owns it.
The number is always clearly visible on the plane’s fuselage but from the few video clips I saw I couldn’t see it because of the orientation.
If the billionaire is actually a billionaire it is unlikely that the plane is chartered and would instead be registered either to his name or to one of his companies.
Can you imagine what the comments on facebook and the Times of Malta would be had that incident occurred at Hay Wharf instead of MIA if an asylum seeker refused to be filmed while being brought to shore after being rescued?
I think Joseph Muscat’s life depends on this scheme. He is fighting for his life like a scared rat about to be shot.
He did say he would be the first to go if the electricity scheme did not go through.
Perhaps that deal is also tied to this one with China being the common denominator.
It’s about time he put all the cards on the table and speaks the truth about the pre-election deals he made with his Chinese allies.
To think that Mintoff passed laws to forbid entry into Malta of Italian statesmen of repute under the Foreign Interference Act while Muscat encourages the entry of this Italian insolent scum to tout the sale of Malta passports and condones that they reach their private jet clandestinely through a passage reserved for air crew only!
God have mercy on us and rescue us from this cesspit stench.
There is international news coverage today about the setting up of secret offshore companies, mainly in the Caribbean, by Chinese persons close to officers in power. This Chinese visitor to Malta may well be one of these. I am very uneasy that he had to have an Italian minder.
A genuine investor whose action is above board does not hide from publicity, and a serious government would not go out of its way to ensure secrecy to the extent of criticising the press for doing it job.
But should we be surprised? Isn’t that exactly what Joseph Muscat initially wanted, and still provides, in spite of a promise to drop the secrecy requirement?
Joseph Muscat’s performance in parliament is showing him for what he really is, a chip of the old block of MLP 1970-80 days.
I am waiting to read what the clever columnists why called for a change have to say.
