And the Horn of Africa, West Africa, the Indian Ocean and the Sahel, if you include the suspiciously enthusiastic deployment of Chinese troops under a UN mandate.

The Chinese government’s mantra, heard in countless speeches at chanceries all over the Western world, is “peaceful rise”. That’s a very Sino-Maltese understanding of peace. We’ve had our share of political murders and torture too, and yet we delude ourselves that we are a peaceful and peace-loving nation, just because we included a few lines in the constitution about not joining Nato (for that is what it means, translated).

My friends, I may not have much left to live, but sure as the mountains, I will live to see myself in in chains, carried off to slavery by the Chinese. How will we rue our cheap iPads then.

Mizzi can’t talk because he’s dumb. That’s why he’s in the job.

Why wait for reporters to ask questions? You can do that too. Write to the PM and publish his (non) reply. Ask your MP to ask questions in parliament on your behalf.

And roll out the red carpet. A 8,000 kilometre one.

“Du Dewen, of the Chinese consulate in Almaty, said Kazakhstan had spent billions of U.S. dollars in designing and building a road between west China and west Europe that is expected to become operational in 2015.

The 8,000-km-long highway, from China’s Khorgos, an inland port in Xinjiang, to St. Petersburg of Russia through Kazakhstan, will become a new important trunk line connecting Asia and Europe.”

I have this strong feeling that the secret memorandum of understanding with China is actually the “roadmap” they’ve been talking about.

And when they see it has been “kostid”, they probably mean it will cost at least 1,800 EU passports.

And East Turkestan. The Uyghars aren’t particularly fond of their Han overlords.

Here’s a clue: Shiv Nair.

inews readership demographic is squarely in the racist camp. What did you expect?

Farrugia Sacco retires next August. All Muscat needs to do is fudge the issue till then.
