Barbados, China to sign loan deals

Barbados and China are slated to sign two agreements totaling $6.1 million today.

The two agreements are aimed at facilitating economic and technical cooperation between the two governments, along with providing funds for joint projects between Barbados and China.

Barbados Finance Minister Christopher Sinckler will sign the agreements on behalf of Barbados, while Chinese Ambassador Wei Qiang Wang will sign for his country during the official ceremony at government headquarters.

    People always have to read into things and say it is more than it is. Britain, America and most of the west who borrow money, where do you all think they get it from? America just had to borrow off china to avoid default. It has been going on for many years. Every country on the planet owes china something. Why don’t you all ask why America and Britain borrows yearly from china? About Chinese taking over. It is a shift in economic strength that is happening in the world and china is where hints are happening right now. Just how it goes. Nothing lasts forever. If I was to get a job in china I would be off in a twinkle! That’s where it is at the moment, just like twenty thirty years ago it was America and in the sixties it was Britain. Full circle.

      Oh and not to mention how many different nation citizens and companies are currently migrating to china like flies right now. The same way the Chinese are coming in, that’s the same way we are invading china. Read about it. U.S companies are shipping all their equipment over to china. Many of Britain’s graduates are moving to china, Singapore, Malaysia, India and the rest of Asia. Asia is where money is right now, with china at the top of the summit

      So why don’t you go into business and open your own shop to counter the Chinese instead of sitting on your lazy a** and complain.

      So what? Does that prevent you from opening your own shop? Does it mean you have to patronise them? Do you have to complain?

      No… open your own shop, buy from local shop owners and then look back and see the Chinese go out of business!

      Then you’ll complain the local things too expensive and yardi, yardi, yarda…

      stop bloody complaining and DO something instead of waiting for something to come to you!

      Dash it!
