Perhaps the PN could get in touch with Mr.Keter, invite him to speak at the party’s independence events this September.

I’m sure there’s others from the Caribbean, Taiwan and sub-Saharan Africa. A political flashmob.

90% of groundwater in China is contaminated beyond use.

60% beyond any possible treatment.

They’ve poisoned their primary source of water, acid rain literally burning their provinces.

Have a look at this place, the world’s most polluted place. China boasts16 of the top 20 worldwide.

And do they have a problem with corruption. It’s technical, scientific and economical decisions gone wild. Basically a regime clutching at straws, poisoning its people to keep up with the west.

Doing business with China as things stand is NOT sustainable, we get to share the potential risk and will pay for this globalised mistake, Saviour Balzan.

It’s not as if their idea of capitalism led to freedom and wealth. When we do, they won’t change.

And those scientists will be silenced.

What results? This is the main issue with that envoy, whose role can only be termed a double dealer.

She works on visas and Muscat sells her services to the Chinese as being in our interests.

The problem with Muscat is that he concocted his grand designs before the world changed. And what a change, leaving him to patch the remains of a strategy no-one he targetted six years ago needs or wants.

It’s one major mismatch of internal and external forces, exposed to an untested perverted economic model, no democracy, no stress tests.

What it implies for our driven local entrepreneurs may be even worse than the frenzy for property in Bulgaria, or individual businessmen had by Nigerian scams.

What we have here is a Labour government working actively against this country’s interests.

An economic bloodbath which will have Maltatoday and Times of Malta pointing fingers at everyone else when it happens.

Wonder how Gasan, Fenech, the other Hili and the various Grace Borgs expect to close their deals and get a return.

This PM is familiar with shortselling remember, Crystal clear financing no doubt.

One of Labour’s greatest mysteries during the electoral campaign was how their 500 page volume shirked any relevant percentage capital investment.

Guess why.

Don’t worry about the colour of silk Antoine, China just lumped all under the title- ‘New’.

Xinhua’s reports about the 2010 and 2014 agreements are almost identical.

This week’s MOU formalised the agreement Muscat signed with China when he was in opposition.

2010

Muscat was grateful for China-aided projects in Malta, saying his country as a member of the European Union would work for the further development of bilateral relations as well as the China-EU relations.

2014
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/china/2014-07/09/c_133472212.htm
Muscat said Malta-China relations, based on mutual understanding and mutual respect, have seen great development in recent years… Malta will utilize its geographical advantage to purse greater achievements in EU-China cooperation.

The green silk road is ecology, the blue silk road is the sea.

The trouble with China’s metaphors and aphorisms is they don’t work outside China, unless your surname’s Muscat and you’re a prime minister.

Here’s where China’s green silk and blue silk roads lead to in Jamaica. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/25/1294644/-Why-Is-Jamaica-Selling-Out-Its-Environment-to-a-Blacklisted-International-Conglomerate#

Malta’s up next. That’s the same company with which Muscat’s signed an agreement about a permanent link across the Gozo channel – and other projects too, though he’s not saying anything about Marsaxlokk for now.

Don’t believe it when he says the agreement isn’t binding. Blacklisted CCCC did a “free” feasibility study in Kenya too. http://mobile.nation.co.ke/news/Shadowy-figures-pushing-rail-deal-says-Keter/-/1950946/2156652/-/format/xhtml/-/oi2cqdz/-/index.html

Muscat is admitting that Sai Mizzi’s ‘link to a minister’ is an issue. He should have continued that it doesn’t really matter since it is a PL minister.

The story would have been very different if her ‘link’ was to a PN minister.

Green belt my foot. The tree planted by Joseph Muscat won’t live long.

“Chinese scientists have warned that the country’s toxic air pollution is now so bad that it resembles a nuclear winter, slowing photosynthesis in plants – and potentially wreaking havoc on the country’s food supply.”
