Following the prime minister’s signing of an MOU with the Communist Party of China, China’s penetration into the Maltese investment market is getting deeper.

Dogs in China are food, not pets.

Love it when they go all bombastic with the names, Brilliance, CEO.

Poverty in spirit, just like the Gzira Taparsi. It’s also significant how China made most inroads into Zimbabwe and Uganda, not exactly a history of illuminated societies there either.

He can say that again. No other EU country is so easily bought or has sold itself to China wholesale.

Angela Merkel went to China to protect Germany’s Eur 90 billion (Eur 90 “elf miljun”) of exports to China. Meanwhile China sells an approximately similar amount of goods and services to Germany, leading to a roughly balanced trade between the two exporting giants.

Joseph Muscat went to China to get a few goodies and feasibility studies worth Eur 20 to 30 million at best, while handing over Malta’s sovereignty and dignity – which are priceless – to China.

Muscat went to China to see what Malta can sell to China in Malta i.e. selling ourselves to a Communist dictatorship.
