What do Xanana and Mugabe seem to have in common?
The both apparently buy military equipment from a Chinese company called Poly Technology. Unless of course there could be two Poly Technology in China. This is possible guess. It is big place. But Timor-Leste is such a small place.
Public officials spending public money.
I wonder where the 28 million is going to come from? Surely not the Petroleum Fund. What the budget... for anyway?
TL needs to control its waters - but at the expense of the FUND? And owing China big?

Government to buy warships – The State Secretary for Defence, Julio Thomas Pinto, said the Government has decided to buy warships for the F-FDTL Navy to control illegal fishing activities in the coastal area of Timor-Leste. "The Government through the department of Defence has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a Chinese company, Poly Technology, to start ship construction for F-FDTL," said Mr. Pinto after signing the MOU on Saturday (12/4) in the Government Palace, Dili. Mr. Pinto also said that the construction will be started next month and will finish in the following year. "Once the MOU is implemented, 30 F-FDTL members will receive training from Chinese shipping companies in China," added Mr. Pinto. The Government recently allocated $28 million to buy the two ships.
