More of Antigu for sale

Yes. David has brought him here to see how much more of Antigua we can give away or sell off. And there is no problem. Antiguans only become concerned if it's an African, Guyanese or Jamaican coming to Antigua. Chinese and Arabs are welcome. Bring on the sweet and sour and Shawarma.

"According to a release, Governor Meng said he has heard a lot about the relationship between Antigua & Barbuda and China, and wants to forge a close bond between his province and Antigua & Barbuda, in the interest of tourism." Okay people, don't be upset when you see the planeloads of Chinese "tourists" coming to the island!

The article states, "Gouizhou Province is in the southwestern part of China, and is known for its peculiar natural scenery, remarkable national customs, history, culture, and a unique aboriginal unsophisticated landscape which attracts thousands of tourists annually." Okay, maybe we can learn something from them. I can see the daily non-stop flights to China! Who is kidding whom?

He heard we were giving away the island and was sent to get it. You think we got Chinese now. STAR DATE: 2020, There will be more Chinese in Antigua than African slave descendants. 108 square miles of sun fun and military strategic distance from the US coast. I really wonder if our government has think this through.?

ambassador to China

#1 carvaa » 2011-09-05 05:03

I wonder what was on the mind of Ambassador Shoul to bring the influx of the Chinese issue to the forefront.
As Ambassador to China we had the Sir Viv Stadium, the street lights project and many others, we just had a Chinese delegation here the other day where we sign the airport terminal deal, and the Chinese visit continues here comes Governor Meng.
Now i know Ambassador Shoul wouldn't want to rub the Chinese the wrong way, so with all this crap about "just covering myself" there is no way Ambassador Shoul and this Government is innocent to this massive Chinese population in Antigua and all the rights they have.
