YES THE CHINESE ARE INTERESTED IN GRENADA BUT MOST PROBABLY FOR ANOTHER REASON THAT IS NOT YET EVIDENT TO GRENADA OR THE U.S. AND THAT IS THE RUSSIAN/CUBAN BUILT 10,000 FOOT RUNWAY IN THE U.S. BACKYARD TO LAND MORE THAN TOURISTS IN THE FUTURE I WOULD SAY. WE HAD TO SHOVE THE CUBANS OUT OF THERE YEARS AGO AND WHAT NEXT - CHINESE?
