“ THANK YOU MIN. POASI TEI & CEO PAULA MA'U...The BREP Conference was analyzed by Chinese, UK, US, Australian scholars and economists during its activities on Chinese TV here in the U.S. Questions raised included Chinese real motivation for its generosity with what is called the "loan" or "indebtedness bait." Nanny states such as Tonga (and poor African nations) are easy targets for the Chinese "do good" offerings.
Now China's donation of a "2.25 Megawatt wind power station", for example, is to boost Tonga's ambitious plan to achieve 50% renewable energy in a year. Presently it is touted to have reached 12%, but my electric (increased from $200 - $400/month without additional output) and water bills ($100 - $600/month) have increased drastically instead of reduced. Why did the rest of the Pacific's Small States Nations decline to participate in this "free Chinese Buffett?" except Tonga?
Always looking for a free handout? And hoping to receive "free" clean and renewable energy? ”
