And if there are issues of difference between the EU and China?  On trade, human rights, war, international politics?

Whose side will Muscat take?  

And what positions would Louis Grech and George Vella take on such issues?  Will Grech side with the EU and Vella with China?  Hilarious.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What will Muscat&#039;s foreign policy be if China is involved directly or indirectly in a war between say N Korea and S Korea? Or between China and Taiwan? 

How will the bright spark of our minister for foreign affairs handle such a conflict given that the US and the EU wouldn&#039;t sit pretty on the fence? 

Will Malta provide the Chinese with a supply base in the Med against the Sixth fleet?]]></description>
