Prime Minister Gaston Browne has called on other countries to emulate the relationship between Antigua and Barbuda and China, citing what he described as mutual respect and cooperation.
Speaking at celebrations marking the Chinese New Year, Mr Browne said China had shown how powerful nations should engage with smaller states, noting that Beijing has imposed no sanctions or visa restrictions on Antigua and Barbuda.
He highlighted the two countries’ diplomatic ties, pointing to China’s support for cultural exchanges, education and people-to-people links, including opportunities for Antiguans and Barbudans to study and travel there.
Mr Browne said China’s approach should serve as a model for international relations, particularly in an increasingly unstable global environment. He reaffirmed Antigua and Barbuda’s foreign policy stance of being “friends of all, enemies of none,” while stressing the importance of continued cooperation with China.

I hereby announce this guy is an international relation idiot. Why on earth would he go dropping insults to the US? Oh my goodness, you do not have to make these kinds of speech. Why are you taking these unnecessary speech? Why take the risk? China is forcing you?
Every speech this man has ever made can be reasonably interpreted as an attack on the US and support for dictators and authorian governments.
Can’t you just be quiet, please. US make individual Antiguans and Barbudans financially better off to directly help their family. China is only using the government of Antigua and Barbuda with no direct impact on individuals, especially not in the manner the US is.
List one Antiguan and Barbudan who have millions in the Bank because of the US (many). Then list one Antiguan and Barbudan who have millions in the bank because of China (ABLP Gaston Brown).
Which country is more conducive to freedom and liberty? Which country leaders can be changed according to the people’s will?
Why is ABLP Gaston Browne not putting in core values, morality, ethics and principles in the analysis on who is really beneficial to the country? Why dictatorships and authoritarianism gets more credit from ABLP PM Browne than decency?
Do you have to say what you just say? To put Antiguans and Barbudans at additional impact? Don’t you know when to hold, know when to walk away, know when to count your money?
