How China operates in the Third World: a blueprint for how it hopes to operate with our Third World government

I quote from the link below:

The Kenyan government is reportedly paving the way for China to build a new city just outside of the capital. Some 100 Chinese investors aim to build roughly 20 skyscrapers in the enclave, which is expected to become a shopping destination for products from China and other countries.

Just one of three similar developments planned around Nairobi, the $750 million “Chinese-controlled economic zone” will include luxury residences designed to match the “glamour of Dubai,” according to Construction Week Online.

There are a lot of Chinese in Kenya. There are a lot of Chinese all over Africa, but Kenya – eager to become East Africa’s most powerful nation – has laid many of its resources bare to investors in exchange for infrastructural development and a smattering of social and development programs.

The Lamu Port is one such initiative. Under dubious terms, China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) won tender to build a super port in a UNESCO-protected island on Kenya’s upper east coast. Here many people still live very close to the land and sea, and unspoiled mangroves and coral reefs are bound to be devastated.

Please bear in mind that China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) is the first meeting Joseph Muscat had last week in China. From that meeting, we got all that talk about a Gozo-Malta bridge and a breakwater built as gifts by the generous World Bank-blacklisted CCCC.

Now Silvio Debono of the Seabank Hotel/Hard Rock Malta franchise has this big land reclamation project and is off to China to pull some investors in, he said.

Dubai and Qatar in the Mediterranean – and then when I say that the thinking, tastes and values of The Other Malta are Middle Eastern, I get jumped on. It’s true, though – they really are. The Other Malta is 95% alien to European culture. They only voted for EU membership ghall-flus u l-passaport. They are not remotely European, don’t feel European, don’t identify with European values, and feel a whole lot more at home in Dubai.

The progressive, liberal future of Malta under Labour: skyscrapers built on land reclaimed from the sea by Silvio tas-Seabank with the help of the Chinese communists who have been blacklisted by the World Bank on the basis of their corrupt practices in the Third World.

    It will be hilarious to watch. They will actually have a go at Maghtab.

    And when the numbers don’t add up, this is what we’ll get, a mini Europe in the Med.

    Does anybody care about the environment anymore? NGOs, newspaper editors, MPs, anybody?

      It’s a blitzkrieg. Everyone’s dazed.

      All that talk about MEPA and public participation, remember those days?

    • It-Tezi ta' Mario says:

      No.

      And it doesn’t matter at all that Chinese EXIM bank, which finances Chinese-led major infrastructure projects, does not bind its borrowers to environmental conservation conditions.

      China’s EXIM bank’s intermdiary is Shiv Nair.

    Shame on Silvio Debono being a turncoat. Has he forgotten all the help he got from the Nationalist Government when it was elected in 1987 and in later years?

    • Jozef says:

      It’s what I was thinking. Ahdem Gonz, ha jigu t-turisti, biex tara kemm jafu jhaddmu lukanda.

      Pajjiz ta’ palazzinari u balocchi.

      • Redneck says:

        Lukanda? Int bis-serjeta? (Insert 5 exclamation marks)

        Ghax ma tarax min hemm wara iz-zibel ta ikel li tqassam l-airmalta u x’kuntratt ghandu

    Greedy Silvio first ruined Mellieħa Bay, unfortunately with the blessing of the PN, and now he wants to ruin the whole of Malta. Land reclamation will ruin us forever.

    Life in China is beautiful.

    “The case of Pastor Zhang Shaojie is evidence that in parts of China the violent suppression and unlawful arrests of the faithful by local government officials continues.”
