Guyana President: China could refashion world trade

In order for the Caribbean region to successfully maximise on any trade relations with China and narrow the gap within the free trade system, the region must create a free trade agreement that would facilitate value added activities and spur growth.
This is the advice of Bharrat Jagdeo, President of Guyana, who was speaking on Monday at the Third China-Caribbean Economic and Trade Co-operation Forum, at the Hyatt Regency Trinidad Hotel, Port-of-Spain. Jagdeo, who declared that China is the future for trade within the Caribbean, said there exists inequalities in trade relations between developed and developing countries that create barriers to successful trading—putting developing countries at a disadvantage.

That’s funny… I never heard anyone say we would speak American when US was giving us AID. China has massive financial resouces, even the US getting loans from China
Don’t be fooled by the stadiums they are building around the developing world. They know what they want from the rest of the world. That is just window dressing. By the time they are done, we will all be speaking Mandarin.
so what’s wrong with that?
