Everyone talks about the Sri Lanka port leased to China,why no one talks about this Australian port which was leased to China for 99 years long before the Sri Lanka one?

The Northern Territory government has signed a $506m agreement with a Chinese based group for a 99-year lease of the Darwin

This Aussie port lease is a business deal with both parties agreeing for mutual benefit.

Sri Lankan port lease by Chinese is through debt entrapment and coercion.

Really, you can’t tell the difference??

They are both business deals, the western media talks about Sir lanka to scare developing countries, but keeps mum on the Australian port to avoid embarrassment, they can't say that Australia is in debt trap of China.

If ships can not dock in this port, what is this port made for? where did you hear that?

are you trying to play dumb ??

1. there is no business use case for sri lankan port. Sri Lanka already has ports.

2. The Australian port exists. going by your link China is going to operate it. The Sri Lankan port was built from scratch using Chinese labor and Chinese companies and Chinese loans. The cost of repaying the loan was saddled on Sri Lanka and parlayed into a 99 year lease. BTW it is a gr8 deal for China and a lousy deal for Sri Lanka.

Sri lanka also doesn't allow their port being used militarily, it's for commercial use, we always know.

So China leased a port that was completely built by Chinese money, that means without Chinese money there was nothing but dirt, we basically rented a piece of land which had nothing on it and needs to pour billions to develop it into profitable infrastructure, how great this deal sounds .

Rajapaksa did allow a Chinese nuclear sub to dock there

Neither of those ports will be used militarily, it's clearly stated by Sri Lanka government.

In theory

When Australia leased their port to China for 99 years, the western media said nothing, while when Sri lanka did it , the whole western media was out in force crying foul , colonization and debt trap.

The answer lies in your own post.

Bribe millions to a few hand ful & get their objective met to later reap billions, in terms of getting in to illegal activities in the area, looting natural resources, bringing their labor & businesses, smuggle their cheap products to kill local businesses & spying - Chinese strategy.

Why Darwin is important for China.

Chinese are also buying properties in prime areas across Australia to push in their people & businesses.
