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.]]></description>

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.]]></description>

Baxxter, let&#039;s give some context about Huang Nubo.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/23/world/europe/iceland-baffled-by-chinese-plan-for-golf-resort.html?pagewanted=all&#038;_r=0

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&#039;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.

http://www.chinawhisper.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/huang-nubo.jpg

The video here shows Nubo with his son, Sichen.  Could Sichen be the young man in the Net NEWS video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Q0yXPVGJ4

Yet, I think that the Chinese billionaire in the Net footage looks more like Liu Yiqian.

http://i2.sinaimg.cn/cj/roll/20111010/1318176609_hDuenL.jpg

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&#039;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&#039;s Berkshire Hathaway - but it&#039;s still about investments.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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&#039;t that exactly what Joseph Muscat initially wanted, and still provides, in spite of a promise to drop the secrecy requirement?

Joseph Muscat&#039;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.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[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!
