That’s 25 Megawatts an hour. Or .4167 megawatts per minute.

Would you like it per second, I’m afraid we ran off the scale on the megameter.

The occasion arose when Nasser did not see eye to eye with the President of the United States. In goes Russia, they promise him the Aswan dam and the equipment for his army and air force. Egypt went for it.

When the proof of the pudding came the Russians played their ace and refused Egypt spare parts for their planes and tanks.

The Russians meanwhile availed themselves of naval facilities in the Mediterranean. Egypt had no other option but to revert to the States.

The Russians moved into Angola in the hope of establishing a base for their shipping and navy.

We are not being told anything about the military aspects of this agreement or the military interests China might have in Malta.

There is no country in the Med so far and to date that is tendering China the naval facilities for its fleet which is ever on the increase.

Well, they don’t race their dogs.

Muscat knows the game. Call it cross branding.

The “free” feasibility study is a way of locking Malta in so that China Communciation Construction Company gets the contract at inflated costs and the intermediary (guess who) creams off commission and extends his political influence.

Look at this news report dated January 2014. It’s what happened here, right down to the “irridu naraw jekk huwiex vera” reaction when an MP said the company is blacklisted – Muscat’s same reaction when Nair’s blacklisting was exposed.

Jozef, naħseb tal-ħarir ridt tgħid. Issa tara kemm ġej ħarir. Nistennew u naraw. Hemm żewġ qwiel Maltin li jitkellmu dwar l-istennija : Min jistenna jithenna u min jistenna jmut bil-piena u għalina l-aktar li joqgħod dan tal-aħħar. Għax m’għandix dubju li se ndumu nistennew!

This would be acceptable up to a certain extent from a political party paper, but not from a newspaper that calls itself independent.

Malta becomes the very low place where the Chinese get a leg up to access European technology and knowhow.

Meantime, they build us a ‘feasible’ bridge to Gozo. Imagine maintenance costs.

To think Mao swam across the Yang Tse.

He did it to distract his people from the minor fact that a Neil Armstrong was hopping around on the moon that same day.

The green and blue silk roads in Jamaica. There’s nothing eco-friendly about this project. Maybe Times of Malta could give Shiv Nair a ring to ask why he’s promoting projects that defy China’s eco-friendly policy.
