is a conspiracy theory. the NDC got their people in the police band and when asked "is this the score for the chinese anthem?" the NDC-ite said yes!

anyway, keith was visibly upset. face crush up when he was trying to do a big apology.

An article about this


"I am very saddened," Mitchell told the workers and Chinese Embassy staff from Grenada and neighboring Trinidad and Tobago. "This unfortunate error breaks my heart."

Police declined to comment except to say they would issue a statement later.


The Bush incident wasnt as serious, though since the correct anthem was played even though Bush himself seemed to have no clue of the difference between the "Republic of China" (Taiwan) and the "People's Republic of China"....


A similar mishap occured at the White House in April 2006 during a visit by Chinese President
Hu Jintao when an announcer called China by Taiwan's formal name.

As
President Bush and Hu stood at attention, an announcer said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the national anthem of the Republic of China, followed by the national anthem of the United States of America."

It was China's anthem that was played. But "Republic of China" is the formal name of Taiwan. China is known formally as the People's Republic of China.

Dumb, this is typical of how the WICB, Caribbean societies do things.....no thought to planning, less to consequences

Well someone said paying the piper....welcome to the new imperialists.

Did these fuggers apologise to Grenada when they never hied a single Grenadian on the project befor eit was almost complete.

Look China is worse than the even the US imperialists..if yu can imagine that.

I afrca they even killing ugging people in their ravenous fight for energy, raw material and votes.

Poetic justice for Mitchell I guess, he changed the piper but the tune stayed the same.
Chrissy Sun, Feb 4, '07 at 2:05 AM
I'm betting that another Embassy was involved with dis at the highest level.
Tagwa1 that may all be true but allyuh took the peeps money and messed up big time.
