Raimondo said today during at a lavish State House ceremonial event “We really had no choice. This was the easiest way out of the pending financial crisis.” The state put the bid out just last week and China made the best offer. The only other bids came in from Brazil and Namibia. China has not yet stated if they will leave Rhode Island were it is or move it to become part of the semi-autonomic regions of Hong Kong or Macau.
