Barbados In Central America?
This report from chinaview.cn
David Thompson, prime minister of Barbados in central America, arrived in Beijing on Monday, kicking off a four-day official visit to China as a guest of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
During his stay in Beijing, Thompson will meet Wu Bangguo, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s top legislature, and hold talks with his Chinese counterpart Wen.
Besides Beijing, Thompson will also visit China’s financial hub Shanghai.
This is Thompson’s first time to pay an official visit to China since he took office in January 2008.

Central America?. Good grief!!!.
We may not be a big industrial country like China but for a small island like ours, our voice is heard loud and clear in the UN and the OCED and we are rank consistenly among the top 50 in the world when it comes to our human development index.
The country lies in the southern Caribbean region not in Central America!.
And Barbados is listed in the TOP 10 MUST SEE DESTINATIONS in the world. I don’t see China on that list!!!.
Oh well, at least the PM would see first hand the world longest sea crossing bridge, 22 mile long [spanning from the business centre of Shanghai to industrial city of Ningbo] and the Olympic preparations. Any protests?.
And it will be interested to hear what advice the Chinese have for us to tackle traffic congestion on our roads.
