[Sanchez]

Maldives or Sri Lanka might deserve to be poor and backwards because they are playing bad politics with a third irrelevant country.

One of the key people with the current government was extracted out of the Maldives by the US marines during the coup; guess who he works for.

None of your assertions can be supported by facts

So are you saying that China is wrong or not wrong?

I didn't understand your statement.

These two countries' per capita GDP is higher than the south asian average.

So are you saying that China is wrong or not wrong?

I didn't understand your statement.

I'm saying you haven't shown that China is uniquely corrupt compared to alternatives, and you haven't substantiated claims about whose labor is used. You also don't differentiate between private enterprise and SOEs. Since China is engaged in thousands of projects around the world of course it's easy to cherry-pick.

So will chinese tourists stop visiting the Maldives after the country cancels Fta with China?

You are the one that is stupid.

No, but you acting like China is merely sucking money out of the Maldives is what is pretty stupid.

What do you mean with that? a Maldives politician is kidnapped by US Marines?
