I am noticing that everything the Chinese do for Grenada is front page news which is fine but we have to remember that they are not the only foreign country who have donated to some good causes in Grenada.
Grenada do need help but not at a cost to our children and grand children later down the road.
No partridge in a pear tree.
Maybe a wee bit patronizing.
But thanks.
Right. Any assistance is helpful.
No it is not when there are ulterior motives behind everything they do. Go educate yourself on what the Chinese have done to the Seychelles. T
This man also has been preaching communism and the Chinese taking over Grenada as the answer to Grenada’s poverty. Go back a month or two and read what he said. Wakeup, the Chinese are NOT Grenada’s friend Go look at the damage they are doing at Levera.
