But in all fairness, the blame doesn't lie soley on the Jamaican government. From the moment Jamaica gained Independence the IMF/World Bank has had their boot on our government officials necks. If anyone is interested there's a great doc, called Jamaica Life and Debt.



They basically set rules for what steps the government can and can't do. Unlike Greece we don't have ECB or Germany to bail us out.

I'd like to think under different circumstances our government would've took stakes in companies started by outsiders like how the Asians and Middle Easterners do it.

I just might for you being an idiot.

Chinese are investing heavy into Jamaica with little benefit to native Jamaicans, but it's an overreaction?

So which is it? are they being taken advantage of or are they not?

You don't have much sense in your head.

It is an overreaction. Right now, the Chinese are helping boost the economy (and profiting). We need to focus on employment and our debt levels. We have political power so at the end of the day we always have the threat to tax and nationalize.

Tbh Chinese Jamaicans have played an important role in the Country. Michael Lee Chin is half Chinese. At one point he and Bob Johnson were the only billionaires of African descent in the world (according to Wikipedia). Also VP records, which is the most important Jamaican music label by far is owned by Chinese Jamaican family. They also intermarry pretty commonly.

Yeah I already knew it was the resources but, I just feel like there is another reason as well. I can't quite put my finger on it

THIS! African people can turn nothing into something which we really do not think it's a valuable asset.

"Oh.. let me just put these 2 sticks together to eat with it.. it ain't nothing..:dame:"

( Chinese man eating with his hands) what is that dark skin man doing? :dwillhuh:

I'm all for South America and Africa having nukes.

I think its time non white society starts to point the gun at the party responsible for all of the ills of the world. White people and capitalism.

Mother nature is not working fast enough...

That introduction track to Africas resurrection would be greatest comeback of all time. :blessed:
