On a recent
CBC television newscast, what three Democratic ministers of government
said did not make sense. David Estwick played for the audience
because he is still being looked at very critically by other members
of the cabinet. He has to say but why say to the public?
We are not all ignoramuses. He was with a large Chinese
delegation and what he said should not have been said in public.
He and the Chinese should have sat down and talked. He spoke about
the Chinese market and cannot trade around Caricom, Cuba and Latin America.
China is a problem but our government has not let us know if the Chinese
products sold in our market contains transfat, lead, dangerous fake
proteins etc. {Another breaking story in the USA - dnagerous Chinese
building materials.) An alarm clock from the $3.00 store
- nothing could go wrong with something so simple but obsolescence was
built-in in the alarm – after a time the alarm could not be turned
off so any time a battery was put in it ran down. Regardless
of how our people feel about China’s well-know policies, if the Democrats
want to go along and talk to them then go along; we want to see action;
do not say things off the bat; prove it; not “looking into.” It
should have been done before. They talk a
big lot of hullabaloo, when it is only public relations and being polite.
Between the Chinese and the Japanese they are the most polite nations
on earth “thank you very much sir!” It means nothing. It is all
garnishing. |
