Google, China news with Antigua.
But I don’t see no great news in that to be able to fly on tax payers money and visit famous places, I bet he gone to the great wall of china. One time I was in Orlando Florida and wanted to visit NASA space center. So if he visits Alibaba headquarters he can buy the latest Gizmo which am sure he will. The issue is why we a infantillised like this up to this day? Gaston made some expensive long distance call to china, china draft some documents and wherein Gaston could a sign them electronically from here online he could resist the temptations of taking his friends on a trip to boost their morale and he himself becoming absent from the state so the Barbuda money exposure can die down, and also secure Bryan Stuart young in a protective land and position that no fsrc or any bank investigators can reach for prosecution. I think he is going to visit other famous chinies sites, oops my bad to let you know.

heard of him,typo
Did our ‘Marvelous’ visionary leader ask to meet with the co-founder of AliBaba Group Jack Ma Yun? He might not have even heard oh him. What has become of Mr Yun? Listen carefully:
” Well, first of all, Jack is alive.
He’s well, he’s happy, he’s creative”.

Of course he’s alive and all the rest and keeping his mouth shut too, unless saying the right things. Don’t upset your masters; they don’t like freedom of expression, it’s not their kind of thing. Our lost at sea, in over his head prime minister has been taken for a ride no jockey could have imagined and he doesn’t know it. Am tempted to laugh at him but cannot for I would be laughing at Antigua and Barbuda too and that I will never do.
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves….
Hmm.
Fantasy land. Why not concentrate on the county’s only hospital to ensure it has the resources to operate like a proper functioning hospital? You can’t even maintain a functioning air conditioning system but you hanging your basket where your hand can’t reach. Your only success story is giving away the peoples land. What a dreamer. AI you say. Where are the qualified Antiguans?
I hope Gaston ask Xi Jinping to release the man with our 125 CIP Passports.That man from Fancy Bridge,West Indies Oil shareholder.I am wondering what happened to those Passports.I remembered a movie entitled:Alibaba and the 40 Thieves.
@Tuba,
Gaston has no interest in knowing what happened to the man from Fancy Bridge.
Other than getting a deal to save Global Bank the trip is was normally called a “junket”
Gaston made some kind of AI Deal with Alibaba according to reports …Everytime Every single time the prime minister goes to some country,, you hear on the news how Antigua is in business with that country for something. Does the prime minister, Gaston Brown makes these decisions on his own ?? I don’t think one man or the 2 man delegation that goes to a country should decide that. Is money being passed to him to make these deals??? Where is the transparency??? How do we know what kind of terms ?? What is the country getting into .. how do we know they are not selling our children to them for the next 100 years?? All we hear is Antigua is in a deal for this or for that ?? WHAT KIND OF DEAL ??? WHAT ARE THE TERMS ..: there should be a website where these deals are made public and we can read them or access them … why not take the proposed deal and on return cabinet vote on the deal and there is a town hall or several town halls to discuss with each constituency the deals so we can ask and get questions answered? Why is the country being ran this way ans why are we accepting it ??? I see all kinds of young people in Antigua young and old posting everyday about trump in America and voting for trump and how Americans crazy to still give trump a chance but I would suggest to you people leave America and trump alone and focus and post about Antigua and Gaston brown and these secretive deals made by one man for a while country, post about the crime rate in Antigua and how Antigua in 2024 as a power house has no running water .. DONT WORRY ABOUT AMERICA THEY WILL ALWAYS COME OUT ON TOP . Antigua is going from bad to worser .. All these deals Africa Airlines .. All these deals with China that nobody knows the terms of , they are selling Antigua to China ..: soon from now the Chinese will knock on your doors and tell you they own your house .. WAKE UP ANTIGUA
