Is it going to be a Chinese power station, then?

A member of my international worldwide network of spies has sent me these photographs of a couple of official-looking Chinese men on a visit to Enemalta with a document-holding Maltese man this morning.

Was there ever any doubt about that?
Here is another useful soundbite for our Prime Minister:
the writing’s on the wall (although he probably thinks this Chinese power station is a good thing)
Obviously , it was delivered on the Chinese cargo aircraft whilst the Times of Malta was plane spotting.
So we will be subject to the whims of the Chinese dictatorship in 5 or 10 years’ time. God help us.
We’re subject to them already. Muscat was voted in as Prime Minister, wasn’t he?
And while we’re on the subject, shouldn’t he explain what he talked about in those meetings he had with a shadowy international fixer called Shiv Nair?
I have known that ages ago. As it is impossible to build such a power station in such a short time it is going to be a second hand one. In September 2013 the Maltese population will go up by 15000 Chinese workers, working 48 hours a day.
The gas is going to be bought from Russia.
I somehow thought that this was a sine qua non and would be very surprised if it was any other way.
Hey Daphne, Look at this:

I think you’ll like them.
Who’s the representative of the Chinese bidder?
Would Konrad Mizzi do a Chris Cardona?
I never had any doubt.
We had the Gaddafi funding Malta under Mintoff, and now it looks like China will have us in the palm of their hand under Muscat. Well done, the switchers. The pseudo-liberal vote used to bring in Red China.
Was it ever going to be otherwise?
Else why the emphasis on going for seaborne gas supplies, huge gas storage tanks and a regasification plant, when logic, economics, environmental considerations, public safety, and just plain common sense, favour an EU substantially subsidised gas pipeline connecting Malta directly to the EU energy grid.
I recently received an email from my daughter’s (church) school informing us that as from next year they’ll be offering free after-school lessons in Chinese language and culture for both parents and students. I must admit to having mixed feelings. On the one hand Chinese is the most widely-spoken language in the world and it’s always good to acquire another language I guess. On the other hand, I got a creepy feeling, because I thought perhaps this is just the beginning of Chinese becoming a required language for sixth form as Arabic was in my day due to our cosiness with Libya.
Chinese is not the most widely spoken language in the world. English is. Chinese is spoken by a large number of people, most of whom are Chinese living in China.
It’s useful to understand and also to speak Chinese, but if it becomes necessary here, that’s only because of Muscat’s short sightedness about getting into power so that he can feel important.
Is it just this one church school or is it going to be done in all church schools? Why church schools?
With the ever increasing evidence of this fait accompli, I”d like to know what the other bidders think.
Maybe some pseudo journalist of The Times would bother investigating.

‘….This isn’t the first disaster in China surrounding these projects. Since July of last year, six bridges have collapsed in China. And although government officials like to blame overloaded trucks, many Chinese believe such a situation should be functionally impossible, just as it is in the United States where bridges are built with substantial safety margins……’
You see Raphael, sometimes having a Christian conscience helps, life being sacred and all that. When is it you’ll participate in this place? Stick to the subject perhaps?
