If Mrs Konrad Mizzi is a Maltese citizen, then she no longer has a Chinese passport. And she’s NOT from Shanghai.
This comment was sent in by somebody who is originally from China.
The Chinese government does not allow dual citizenship. If Mrs Mizzi is a Maltese citizen through naturalisation/marriage in 2006, as reported, she cannot possibly be holding on to her former Chinese passport.
Mrs Mizzi is from Liaoning Province, northeast of China, border with North Korea. She is not from Shanghai. There is no comparison between these two places. Just ask any Chinese.
Interestingly, the former governor of Liaoning Province, Bo Xilai, was condemned to life imprisonment last week, for corruption and abuse of power.
During Bo Xilai’s rule, corruption was the order of the day in Mrs Mizzi’s home province. One could trade in anything – official status, directorship, academic degrees, university certificates, marriage certificates, etc. You name it, you get it – at a price, of course.
Dare I say, Mrs Mizzi is not doing too badly for herself. From Liaoning, through Europe, to Shanghai, she has come a long way. She could be excused if she were to claim: “I have arrived”.
Three years away from her minister husband – hmmmm, what an interesting domestic arrangement. It wouldn’t really have been any of our business, if only we the tax payers were not paying for it.
Shame. Shame.

Does that mean our ambassador to China no longer has a Maltese passport? Then under what nationality was he accredited?
I mean we knew Labour were a bunch of haxxejja but this has gone beyond a nightmare. We’re in the realm of Cthulhu here.
I think it forms part of their Great Republic Department for the Simplification
Ok let’s try again:
I think it forms part of their “Department for the Simplification of Beurocratic Rules and Other Issues Affecting Easy Governance of the Great Second Republic”‘s approach – ignore the rules.
He may still have a Maltese passport. It’s a bit of a grey area, from what I hear.
You know, what I find most worrying is not that this happened. We, the enlightened, knew that this would happen. Had I been of a gambling disposition, I would have staked my house that this would happen within the first 12 months. Anybody with half a brain would have realised that Joseph Muscat and his acolytes were in it for their own personal gain.
What irks me and worries me is the sheer hypocrisy of those who, until a year ago, were screaming nepotism at Gonzi and his team.
I challenge PL apologists to tell me how THEY would have reacted had Gatt’s wife been appointed as an envoy to anything or anywhere with a good salary to boot. I am invariably met with blank stares.
I mention Dr Gatt because he was the bete noir (for PL) but it could have been anybody. Their silence is pregnant with meaning. And yet they would have just said, only moments before, that “she is qualified”.
Somebody else yesterday (a switcher) turned to me for comfort. He has been scorned. Big time. He just found out that Malta mhux veru taghna lkoll.
I simply told him (much as I am loath to say it): what did I use to tell you? His reply: L-ohrajn mhux hekk kienu jaghmlu? To which I retorted: but you voted for change.
The voters here are so brainless and brainwashed that they cannot be critical of what is going on and they defend the trampling of what is, in essence, democracy with tenuous and puerile arguments which, to them, are gospel truth and perfect logic. This, for me, is the most worrying aspect.
You can always look at it in the other way.
Chinese are, above all, Chinese, so it’s obvious for what side she will be working. If the PL “believes” it will be different, they are very inexperienced in dealing with Asian countries.
You are what you are born and raised, and that is where our loyalties lie. Sai Laing is Chinese, no matter what passport she holds.
The prime minister is working in China’s interests. Why expect his envoy to do otherwise, whatever passport she holds?
