A diplomatic gaffe marred the inauguration of Grenada's China-financed stadium when the band performed Taiwan's national anthem.

According to the Associated Press, Chinese Ambassador Qian Hongshan and scores of blue-uniformed Chinese laborers who built the new US$40 million Queen's Park stadium as a gift from Beijing were "visibly uncomfortable" as Taiwan's anthem echoed inside the 20,000-seat venue. Full Story

It's not just Grenada that is incompetent - it's the whole Caribbean - including Guyana.

I think Guyana woulda been able to noodle the difference between the China and Taiwanese national anthem.

Bush had the wrong flag at a recent ceremony. Damn this is embarrassing. They should have got the anthem from the Chinese Ambassador.

Our incompetence has no boundary. And we all wonder why things are so bad, i.e., the economies, our cricket, etc.
