China moves in on possible Libya reconstruction work

By -

China starts to position itself for an active role in Libya reconstruction. Are Pinoys up to the task as well? Certainly, the thousands of Filipino workers in the region will have given the Philippines a foothold over a possible bonanza of construction work that these strife-torn desert kingdoms will be needing.
