I see this more as “Chinese Bashing “than “Bashing the Bahamian Prime Minister Perry Christie and his Deputy Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis! Despite Western thoughts and concerns, China is no longer a ‘Communist’ country. This is totally evident in its rapidly burgeoning economy as it (China) has now displaced All European countries in its economic growth, and is second only to the United States in natural resources and productivity. The fact that they (the Chinese)are “sharing their wealth’ with developed and developing countries, i.e. making investment ventures and procuring properties abroad is by no means a communist ploy! It is indeed however, a purely ‘Capitalist Procedure’ that the U.S. has done in earnest prior to WWII and henceforth! It does however; seem to me that the United States and its Western allies are becoming increasingly seemingly more ‘Jealous’ of that countries’ recent good fortune! This is evident in last week’s provocation by the United States, as a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer sailed near disputed islands China has built up in the South China Sea! This to me was a case of intimidation and ‘Outright Bullying’! (Keep in mind that even though China has over three times the population[one+billion] of the United States, the United States military budget is almost five times greater than that of Chinas! (U.S.=$671billion vs. China= $137Billion)
The Chinese government in summation, is pumping ‘Billons’ of dollars into the Bahamas and helping to create hundreds if not thousands of jobs for Bahamian people. In that respect, I will advise the citizens of the Bahamas not to be so harsh in its criticism of your Prime Minister and his Deputy P.M., in their efforts in continuing to modernize and help expand the infrastructure of your country! Above that, I Implore you to Please not emulate the prejudicial views of the many Americans here in the States and in Europe in regards to China’s newly gained influence! It’s China’s time to shine now, and within 25 years it will be Africa’s! Peace! John H 'Jay' Smith.
