Comments on: An anomalous situation: a Shanghai consul who reports to Malta Enterprise and Economy Minister Chris Cardona rather than to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Unless she has formally renounced her Chinese citizenship, to the appropriate Chinese authority, then she is a dual citizen of both China and Malta.

It would seem that Mrs Mizzi is a dual citizen without the knowledge or agreement of the Peoples Republic of China.

China generally holds any one who renounces their Chinese citizenship in absolute opprobrium..

Perhaps his Excellency Clifford Borg Marks will be kind enough to clarify this situation.

Since the contract was only tabled after the visit in China is it made up? Was this contract signed last week in an attempt to cover up their tracks? Was the interview staged in an attempt to issue this contract instead of another? I’m not one for conspiracies but I get the nagging feeling that Mrs. Mizzi was always a Chinese active agent on our territory, like many are being discovered in other countries.

In reply to Alexander Ball. It doesn't mean she isn't a Chinese citizen too.

Vella’s words reveal something very important here. He was not even consulted on Sai Mizzi’s recent ‘appointment’ as ‘consul’.

The visa part would belong to Manwel Mallia, making this lady a microcosm of the entire government apparatus.

The status of a consul is completely different from that of a trade envoy: the former is automatically covered by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, while the latter is not necessarily so.

Moreover, we have another anomaly: Malta’s ambassador in Beijing and Malta’s envoy/consul in Shanghai are both Chinese. Whose interests are they working for?
