Chinese funding for development

Dear Editor, We know we have to grow our economy to deliver wages, cost of living and cost of finance on par with our fellow New Zealanders to stop our people migrating to New Zealand and allow those who have migrated to come home, and the sooner the better! We know tourism on Rarotonga has expanded by some 20 per cent since the crash of 2008 and provided a platform on which to grow our economy and the opportunity to expand tourism to the outer islands to revive their economies, so they may contribute to the economy instead of feeding off Rarotonga’s economy.
