Keep in mind the Chinese will not consider anything other than gated communities. 

The rest remains open to market risk. They will double cross our wealth, just look at China as one major money sinkhole where the only remedial factor is virgin territory, if it&#039;s sovereign territory, so much better.

If I may, every cent of Chinese investment will be nothing but that state laundering its graft money. 

All contents of the MOU point at &#039;luxurious real estate&#039;. The exact opposite of what the country needs to upgrade existing. When the spike hits, we&#039;ll be pushed out of the market. The moment banks sense trouble, they&#039;ll call everyone in, and then the glut will leave its effect on values. 

And that&#039;s when we&#039;re had by the balls. Industry, military of course, m&#039;hemmx x&#039;taghmel. Come da manuale. 

Muscat subscribes to multiplying GDP growth by frenetic building, that was his clear agenda all along. The rest just fell into place. He calls it internal demand. 

If there&#039;s a glut, what demand? 

There&#039;s this shared jurisdiction thingy which went under the radar. Need we say what happens to any differing opinion? It will be against the national interest.

That includes any truth with figures and established international parameter data gathering. China just cannot cover the rot anymore, take it elsewhere.   

If anyone wants to map the takeover, just follow the land grab taking place these past few years, hundreds of acres ODZ, mainly the pristine south coast. 

It was where all the PN&#039;s problems flared. 

Saviour and the AD elite will never know what hit us. But they&#039;ll be too stoned, hopefully.]]></description>
