China makes inroads in Sri Lanka

[notsuperstitious]

SL can become a chinese colony for all we care, anything short of physically moving SL to a place near china does not pose a serious challenge to us.

After myanmar, pakistan and north korea, SL can be the next chinese ''friend'', but it will be right where it is. See the map, comprehend, look carefully, understand, then see again, wonder, then go back to your delusions.

Sri Lanka's second International airport about to open end of this year. (yep, built by China)

China seems take SL more seriously than Pakistan in economic assistance(not aid, that won't help). Jealous but we know time will come.

I personally appreciate China's contribution to Africa. The past 10 years witness the best 10 years for the black continent in African history. Some most improved nations are deeply assisted by China in its development. Namely Sudan, Angola, Ghana, Tanzania, etc. China help them set up modern agriculture, industrial basics and service sectors mainly trading with outside, China even builds infrastructure for these countries.

You know for business a stable political and secure environment is the most important，however Pakistan is now messed up by USA and terrorists，the common Chinese companies are not able to enter Pakistan in large scale。
we can only try our best to aid Pakistan to build the infrastructure，to prepare for the future，the day when China is strong enough to drive out USA from Afghan and Pakistan。
Pakistan has a huge population and potential and a very important geographic location ，wise businessman will never give up Pakistan.

I have to teach you some history knowledge about China-Sri Lanka friendship。
China and Sri Lanka established diplomatic relation in 1957 and since then the two countries have been maintaining a good relationship。
Even 600 years ago our navy fleet led by Zheng He visited the old Sri Lanka and a prince of Sri Lanka came to China with the fleet。His offspring are still living in China。

Then what about Xuanzang and Faxian.

They visited the South Asian continent before the country of India had been created.

And that's why they chose Afghanistan to enter India as Tibet was never the part of China.

No country does charity today. all these goody goody love affair between china and srilanka has just one intention.ENCIRCLE INDIA.Most irony is if india makes a military base in viet or anywhere nearby china the first one to launch protest is none other than CHINA!

Do you think that it could just be paranoia? I mean, Sri Lanka - in comparison to China (or India) - is a tiny country with little natural resources that to be honest has nothing much to offer China. I have no idea how Sri Lanka could be remotely seen as a threat to India. I mean really? Is it threatening to Indians when Sri Lankans get cheaper electricity? Is it threatening to Indians if Sri Lankans achieve a better per capita income? Is it threatening for Indians when Sri Lankans get better infrastructure? Is it threatening for Indians if Sri Lanka's economy grows? Surely if anything, it is India that is a threat to Sri Lanka with its politicians continuously supporting separatism in Sri Lanka, and given India's history of sponsoring terrorism in Sri Lanka?

Besides, over the last 50 years India has had ample opportunity to invest and develop relations with Sri Lanka. It's the same with Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan etc. But India did not do so. SAARC has also not progressed and this is largely due to India because India is the behemoth here who basically runs things. Again now in 2012 as mentioned in the news report I posted it is India that is holding up on furthering Indo-Lankan relations. Neither China or Sri Lanka is to be blamed for India's own apathy and lethargy. So why cast aspersions on the Chinese when they invest in other countries and are actively engaged in developing friendly relations with these countries? Why should Sri Lankans consider China or the Chinese to be "enemies" when there is absolutely and utterly no reason to do so? Why should Sri Lankans have a problem with China just because India does? Doesn't seem very fair to me.

Perhaps instead of sulking so to speak, India could review its foreign policies and "update them" instead of adopting a dog in the manger attitude? Why not be happy that China is investing in and improving the lives of other people in other countries? I really don't think the SL government is going to say "no" to Indian investment. To be honest, it's kinda sad how India has not managed to win the confidence of its immediate neighbours especially given all the cultural/religious/ethnic similarities.

Learn more about geography please。
At that time Tibet was not part of China but the king of Tibet is son-in-law of Chinese emperor，
And that is why Tibet king lended army to Wang Xuance 王玄策 who afterwards
conquered the South Asian continent as easy as blowing off dust

Wang Xuance, never sounds like a Tibetan name.
