Chad has suspended all work by the local unit of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), because it has allegedly violated environmental law.
There are also conflicts with workers. Trade unions for Chadian oil workers employed by Chinese operators are complaining of bad labour conditions and poor pay.
The Delimara power station has been bought by China Petroleum Engineering and Construction Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corporation mentioned here.

The normal working conditions in Chad are not the best in the world and so for the Chadian oil workers to complain about poor working conditions, they must have been pretty horrendous.
And as a means of comparison, Chad is to Central African Republic what the UK is to Malta in terms of Education.
One wonders what strings Nair is pulling in the general picture, and in what directions.
Where do Nair and Gasol come together in Africa, besides Nigeria?
Chad is classified as the poorest African nation by the UN.
The Chinese Mafia is setting-up brothels in Nairobi.

Enemalta employees do not have to worry as they have the GWU and Tony Zarb to defend their rights.
I feel certain that if they had to strike the GWU will pay their wages from the half million it will be receiving annually from Transport Malta.
Probably they will cheer the Chinese and the GWU when they become slave labourers. Ignorance is bliss.
Our families have no protection from GWU regarding the poor conditions that will soon be imposed on the workers.Let us learn from the situation in Chad.We will not be treated better
“learn from the situation” , this is Malta , 36000 votes majority , they never learn .
Our Chinese friends look out for the work force: http://www.waronwant.org/overseas-work/sweatshops-and-plantations/china-sweatshops

They will not change their ways.

Qabza kbira ta’ kwalità!

And the Water Services Corporation too.
The Libyan desert is littered with the unmarked graves of Chinese employees of Chinese oil service companies whose safety standards are abysmal.
Perhaps that explains why the GWU have bought the premises in front of Addolorata.
All over Africa native nationals of different African countries who attracted Chinese investment have been narrating their bitter, sad, deplorable experiences of the way they are being treated by their Chinese employers.
They stop just just short of saying that they feel worse than the people that used to be kidnapped and shipped into slavery two centuries ago. Listening to what they say is heart-breaking, because what they tell is deplorable and abominable.
Il-kapitalizmu qed jitlef il-wicc uman tal-punent ghax sab wicc totalitarju Asiatiku.
F’Malta diga kellna esperjenza ta’ dan taht Mintoff. Fabbriki parastatali u anke barranin jew privati f’Malta dak iz-zmien kienu jgawdu ghax il-pagi kienu iffrizati u l-haddiema ma setawx jistrajkjaw.
Kien il-PN li heles il-haddiem.
Only last week, Chinese factories in Vietnam were set on fire by angry Vietnamese.
In Zambia, Chinese management members shot at Zambian mine workers as they demonstrated.
One African prime minister commented: European colonisers, at least, built us schools and hospitals, but the Chinese just take away our natural resources
China is militarily taking over disputed seas and islands.
Lets be frank, what happened in western europe for 50/60 years after WWII is that in the history of humanity such a large group of people was able to live in relative peace, prosperity freedom and safety for all thanks primarily to the unification.
But on the horizon the situation is getting narrower and narrower. Capitalism and democracy did go together until now but one doubts whether this still holds today. What is emerging in China is a new form of capitalism which does not need democracy.
So do you all still think Chinese food is great?
Because that’s how the takeover starts. Soft power, my friends.
