    I visited China in the year 2013, and attend the seminar on agriculture, made a lot of friends from other developing countries like South Afica. Like housing project and human resource training program, China provides economic and technical assistance to Grenada, benefiting our people and promoting practical technologies. It is good! For god’s sake, when could I go to China again!!!!

    Thank you, China!
    Grenada really needs an excellent Carnival this year! We’ve been waiting for three years and right now our country and even the whole world are in a hard time. So the support from China is in the right way and right time.

      So what is the “something” you are refering to??? Name one and let us know! Well, you just don’t know right because you are just parroting the gibberish!

      You are smart but not smart enough. You don’t believe the news here but believed the news from the US. So you may not understand what happened in Kenya unless you live in Kenya. And, Why not think about the news all over the world that says bad things about China, but most countries are still cooperating with China? Are the whole world fools?

    China is a snake in the grass — we should be supporting Taiwan, if anything. And $40,000 is pennies anyway (considering we needed $1 million from NLA) — not worth it!

      Yes go on and do it you fools. See that even the US, the rival of China, doesn’t have diplomatic ties with that Taiwan, when did Grenada become this arrogant? Nor ignorant? Or you are simply a robot from Taiwan???

    Grenada must be very careful of these “Gifts” from China. They do not “give” away nothing for nothing. Be careful of espionage. China see Grenada as a “weak spot,” so they intend to exploit it.

    So sad to see that Grenada new government don’t seem to understand how the Chinese government operate.
    This new administration should investigate all Chinese “good” gesture. I thought we elected “new young and brilliant” people. Bribe! Bribe from the Chinese. Stay tuned.
    What a shame!

      What a shame you don’t understand how the Chinese government operate! I can imagine how people like you would be furious when the investigation is done and nothing fishy was found! Why? Because you don’t simply care about the development of Grenada and the well-being of the people but your own interests. Live in your dream and it is a heaven for you!

      We got nothing from the US except the empty checks, so we are not afraid of them will take over Grenada, although we know things happened in 1983.

      It seems that the cause and effect relationship is reversed in your world, didn’t Sri Lanka destroy itself first and then need to rebuild.

    Grenada must end diplomatic ties to China. All Chinese work should investigateed and workers who are illegal in Grenada should be deported.
