Looks like China are trying to make Sri Lanka accept more of its loans with a high interest rate.

Investments and PPPs.

Chinese didn't want the Airport to be built it was the then government. Rajapaksa didn't want to build a second runway in the BIA and wanted to build a Grand Airport named after himself. He merely abused China's willingness to give loans without conditions

Mattala Aiport will be empty after BIA runway is repaired. Tourists have to wait in the middle of a jungle for two hours and the costs are high as well
The Chinese govt offered to build a second runway in BIA instead but it was refused and I think they will offer it again in the near future as BIA expansion plans are back

There is a thing called diplomacy. Chinese merely offered loans to develop the Airports. Its Sri Lanka's fault for not choosing BIA 2nd Runway which was being readied even before he came to power instead of the Mattala Airport which was proven as unfeasible in 2004 and is only useful for emergency runway in case of BIA is unavialable

There is also a think called loan feasibility and full detail of the project- I keep that in mind even before offering 10000 to the closest of my kin- And you want me to believe that the Chinese a 12 trillion $ economy gave away their money Just because Rajpaksa asked- I seriously doubt such courtesy even for state owned Chinese enterprises or even Chairman Mao's Son-

CCP investment in sri lanka is going down the man hole ! The investment hasn't given back shit to the country other than 99 year lease of port !

Srilankans are very excited about this- They firmly believe that Chinese will turn them into Singapore in 10 years- with lots of Job in Srilanka at a time Jobs are being cut in China itself-

Sri Lanka is a sovereign nation. They can go for 10 Humbantotas on their soil.

First China mistook SL for other South American and Middle Eastern Regimes. China was silent when Rajapaksa twisted every single project to glorify himself to keep the goodwill of SL. For example Rajapaksa renamed the National Performing Arts Theatre as the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre the project was funded by China but was started before Rajapaksa came to power. China didn't protest beacuse it would affect ties.

Again Rajapaksa claimed the Port City was his idea and even made up a story of how he got the idea and Chinese didn't protest to keep Goodwill. They also allowed he Rajapaksa govt to create the EIA and take care of legal issues (which Rajapaksa's messed up entirely). Chinese only revealed that it was they that brought the proposal to Rajapaksa in 2015 when the Port City was found to have several major issues and was suspended. The Chinese envoy in a interview to Sirasa TV revealed that they revived an old proposal by Singaporean CESMA for a land reclamation project in the area.

The list goes on. If China asked Rajapaksa to stop using their money to feed his mental illness these issues would never come up.

Also note that Rajapaksa receives bribes from Indian investors . Rajapaksa's son (who led thugs to throw stones at Hambanota where Chinese delegation was present and he is also the leader of Nil Balakaya whose members vandalised the Hambantota port) got millions from a Indian company.

One should take note that Mahinda had inherited a country which was torn apart and barricaded by a terrorist organization. There was no possibility to renovate the only airport Sri Lanka had during war time.

Mattala was built to act as a secondary gateway for Sri Lanka if BIA disabled. There was no conspiracy regarding Mattala as you say.

Mattala might have been unfeasible in 2004. But it was very much feasible in 2011 with regards to the development of H'tota harbor and related industrial corridor.

Would you mind explaining to us what are the major issues of the port city project and how they were overcame by the new agreement?

Rajapaksa has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. China has nothing to do with his decisions. People with NPD have delusions of power and has a grandiose sense of self importance. People with NPD only care about power and glory they used China for self-glorification and now attack and insult China.

Blaming China for Rajapaksa's mental disorder is really dumb. China never forced loans on us and when they have stratergic interests they invested in those projects. Rajapaksa is a person that called himself a "King" and created a cult of personality and manipulate people(All symptoms of NPD). If that isn't enough be brought a film director to prove he is related to Ancient kings and through him to Gautam Buddha its the same BS Dalai Lamka use to fool his cult
A psychiatrist from Melbourne once wrote a detailed analysis on Rajapaksa's Mental disorder.

I still have hope SL will wriggle out of Chinese claws slowly. India need to help them smartly.

No China doesn't have claws but patiently polishing its nails and keep watching India made stupid moves to upset Sri Lanka and India is automatically wriggle out ...just don't blame us.

What claws? Sri lanka is far away from China. In fact most of the loans aren't from China
