No Sir. It goes faaaaaaar back. China is only reaching out because they've got economic woes big time just like everyone else. Ditto for the independence movement - they are probably watching with apprehension to see how sincere China is.<BR/><BR/>It's not so much about the China/FNPF loans, its about what the selling point of these funds were for i.e. low-income housing and how well they are in a position to service these loans during these austere times. Which is therefore a very shallow policy decision. Low-income housing must be a "next to nothing" cost but as we all now the Govt coffers are dry.<BR/><BR/>Is taking a loan from China or FNPF wise? And Bainimarama has the gall to ask people to sacrifice more while these low-income earners probably only saw him in the flesh for the first time when he insensitively rolled up there in his flash SUV with Kevin Barr to pretend to be mapping out new housing options with money he doesn't have.Keep The Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067658546911329135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745785272753572871.post-58073931408523393132009-03-06T02:07:00.000+12:002009-03-06T02:07:00.000+12:00Fiji Girl has ommitted the fact that China and Tai...Fiji Girl has ommitted the fact that China and Taiwan has normalized relations. <A HREF="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aiX5NDDU1TIY&refer=asia" REL="nofollow">Read the news</A> <BR/><BR/>Even the Independence movement in Taiwan has been muted.<BR/><BR/>As for the China loan, maybe if those homes were financed by FNPF, then it would be move favorable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745785272753572871.post-12100550928568911792009-03-04T09:15:00.000+12:002009-03-04T09:15:00.000+12:00Vore is about to learn, the hard way (again!), tha...Vore is about to learn, the hard way (again!), that trying to play China and Taiwan off of each other ends in someone getting their fingers burned. <BR/><BR/>Peking might turn around and decide to start funding Vore's opponents, or perhaps even other factions within the military. <BR/><BR/>Taipei will just keep giving him enough to pi** off Peking. <BR/><BR/>Vore-Chodo think they can win at this game.
