China has also built the classrooms and administrative blocs that now form the core of the University at Five Islands, Antigua, at no cost.

Scholarships at several Universities for students have been a plank of the development drive; as well as cultural exchanges.

WITH YOUR MONEY!!!!!
I think Antigua and Barbuda should join the BRICS Nations, however, Putin and Russia holds the Chair for 2024, and because of the Alfa Nero saga we might have to wait until China takes the Chair.
The world financial dominance is rapidly shifting from West to East, the BRICS Nations stop trading with each other using the US$, they are trading amongst themselves using their own Fiat currency.
A couple of weeks ago China used the digital yuan to purchase 1 million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia, the petro dollar is slowly loosing it’s status, India use the India Rubi to purchase oil from Russia and Saudi Arabia.
The US Dept is 35 trillion so they are ditching the dollar, also the US weaponize the dollar by putting sanctions on Nations in an overreach manner so Nations are lining up to join BRICS for fair trading.
The G7 and the IMF may be a thing of the pass soon, however, I believe the Information Minister should have being in the Antigua and Barbuda delegate to China, the whole of China industry is digital.
China is also ahead with Electric cars, their smart phones are competing with IPhone and Samsung in the east, you’ll please do some geopolitic research and know what is happening in the world and be prepared.
The Yemen Houthi are attacking ships heading to Israel and the west going through Suez Canal, so most ships heading to the west reroute around Africa that will delay delivery for weeks.
Ships insurance went up, fuel went up. Cost of living is already high and it is going to go higher, are you prepared?
The west Governments Could have stopped Israel a long time ago, before they reach as far as committing genocide, by stop sending weapons to Israel, now the west is being Isolated .
I am not condoning what Hamas did to the Israelites, it was wrong, however, Israel made their anger took the best of them and ended up committing genocide, now China and Russia ships have free passage through the Suez Canal, the ships from the west have to take the long route.
Your leader will go anyplace where he thinks he can get a handout. Does he realize that nothing is free from these foreign countries and have strings attached. Does he have the brains to understand what is going on.
Because we are free we can choose not to be isolated by the rest of the world with USA, UK and the EU, we have to negotiate with the rest of the world for our survival.
When elephants fight the ground get trampled
@ We need freedom, last year Biden invited Xi Jinping to the White House, he met with American investors about investing in China, should Antigua and Barbuda live in vacuum?
Our leaders just have to be smart in the negotiations, and make decisions that will benefit both nations, the BRICS Nations priority is to develop developing Nations while they themselves are developing, not lecturing underdeveloped Nations and keep them stagnant while they themselves are developing.
@ Geopolitics affairs
A good run down if the anti west sentiments that is harboured by the diasaffected.
Other than the Yemen Houthi actions that will cause food and other basic goods which we import to get more expensive especially in Antigua and Barbuda; what’s the point when the GOAB has a delegation with hat in hand in China
Brian Stuart-Young CEO of Global Bank is among the delegation. Global Bank is under water. Millions and Millions of Barbuda money is impounded in this failing Bank. While on one hand there will be the final push for the Chinese take over of Global Bank; Chinese groups are taking the Barbuda Ferries at least once per week to explore opportunities.
None if this bode well for future generations of Antiguans and Barbudans.
Let’s begin with politics at home instead of round down of anti-west sentiments.
How about the state of the institutions in Antigua and Barbuda who sits idly by, to afraid of retribution and don’t lift a finger as the Country is being robbed blind.
@ Geopolitics affairs
Soon you’ll be writing about DAVOS and the impact of AI
Back in the late 50s people in Liberta used to say Novelle Richards and his family read to many books: it makes them crazy.
Guess who is Novelle Richards nephew?
The people of the village had no idea that mental health was a thing that can affect members of a family for generations.
Let’s get back to basics in our own backyard and address the issues and problems that we are facing.
The crisis is becoming critical; and the Nepo Babies, The Grifters called Expats, and ABLP crumb snatchers who makes up the institutional fabric of the Country do their daily hussle for their piece of the pie.
We are now left with a crazy a running the country, and BRIC has a lot of relevance to our undereducated young men
Come on bro, let us have a civic conversation and stop the personal attacks, AI and Trump was the top topics at DAVOS 2024.
The rest of the World are preparing themselves on the kind of impact Trump will have on the if he wins the 2024 US Presidency, which look like he will win thus far.
The young people in America are now awoke and learn what their Governments have being doing across the Globe, especially giving Israel arms to continue their genocide against the Palestine people, and can not stop Hamas.
They rather vote back in Trump than to continue with Biden unfortunately, we never saw such pro Palestine and Arabs support around the World like today, I am a westerner, however, I have to speak the truth, Western Governments have us in a terrible spot today in World affairs.
Antigua is doomed. Your personal information is not personal no more, fellow Antiguans please read into the Belt and Road initiative. It’s a program where Antigua is going to be in debt to China forever. They’ll take over our infrastructure and we will be Chinese Antiguans. Their agenda is to get as much islands as possible and place their secrets strategically here to get an advantage and surround NATO
NATO is a dead horse they are trying to revive, Europe and the UK Governments follow the US Blindly, the only EU country that have balls to say no to the US is France.
None of these countries can fight a war and win without the US, and lately the US have not fought a war and won, they just leave the countries in shambles the pull up stakes and leave.
Note, I am not against the people of any of these countries, I am against their Governments foreign policies.
St Kitts and Nevis is aligned with Taiwan, what happens in the region if China invades Taiwan?
You’ll jump high or jump low, the new world order is coming and nothing can stop it, the rest of the world had enough of the west lies, preaching democracy and treating other nations undemocratically.
You’ll complain about the unfairness of the IMF, G7 countries and the world bank towards undeveloped countries, and cuss when they clap sanctions under our tail, but you are unwilling to try something new.
It is the same way you’ll say the Banks are rip off and thieves, but you’ll do not want to change to a system where you will have total control of your funds.
@ Curious,
This is bigger than your question. Taiwan had an election very recently where they voted overwhelmingly to reject the integration of China and Taiwan. Gaston Browne immediately issued a One China statement.
Now, One China proposes that China invade Taiwan should the Taiwanese public continue to reject China.
Gaston was quick to issue his statement which erroneous stated the idea is universal. As usual he was not challenged by the media or the Opposition parties.
This all happened, when the trip to China was being organized to finalized for the Chinese takeover of Global Bank. The trip was labeled under the banner of improving Bilateral Relations.
What happens in the region is that those who continue to support Taiwan will wait for the Big Boys at The UN to do their thing and then the region falls in line.
The UN and America laws has always being one Nation policies between China and Taiwan, however, because the western Governments want to curtail China Technological ability they stole the right for China to get chips from Taiwan by encouraging Taiwan to stop selling chips to China.
Taiwan produces about 30% of the world chips, however, China innovators got creative and start making their own chips, our Western Governments can not stop China’s progress, so instead of working against China they should work with China.
