Japan competes w/ China in Bangladesh

[Aepsilons]

I see following advantage of BD for a good investment destination.

1- Logistically it is easy to cater to India, China ,Srilanka, Nepal and BD market itself
2- India and BD has good relationship so it can easily use Indias land routes to export its product to Middle east either with help of Indian ports in Western India or BD port.

Wise and austere analysis @Kaniska . I agree with you 100%. When the Sonadia Deep Sea Port is built, Bangladesh will be the origin source to which much trade will link Northeastern India, Eastern India (particularly the land locked regions), Myanmar (particularly the land locked regions), China (particularly Kunming, Panzhihua, Zigong, Chengdu, Mianyang, Golmud, Xining).

This trade will encourage greater infrastructure projects in Bangladesh, particularly the reinvigoration of their nation's highways, as well as encourage greater railway systems to link Chittagong, Sonadia, to as Dhaka, to Mandalay, to Thimbu, to India's Kolkata, Shantiniketan, to Jalpaiguri, to Kalimpong, to Darjeeling.

Bangladesh will become a hub of major trade , linking major cities and provinces from many, many nations.

Japan should and could benefit from Bangladesh with greater strategic tie up. To avoid all conflicting interest deep sea port project should be awarded to Japan if they desire.

I second that motion. @Nihonjin1051

And I third that motion!!

Btw why don't you award us that deep sea port? Close economic cooperation between good neighbours is the way to go.

that textile building collapse was in Bangladesh right? sad tragedy. they got a long ways to go. hopefully Japan can put them on the path to success and safety

That was understandable because of the poor building infrastructure , which can be attributed to an old building. Bangladesh has recently coordinated with Japanese civil engineering firms to test out fire proof technology on newer buildings. With this and the recent developments to build newer manufacturing plants in Bangladesh, Im sure (definitely sure) that Japanese will be coordinating Bangaldeshi civil engineering firms to build one of the world's best earthquake resistant, fire-resistant buildings in the world.

Bangladesh is now experiencing the beginnings of an industrial boom. And I have very high regards for this country and its people. I believe She will become an Asian Tiger Economy.

@Nihonjin1051 Bro, thanks for your confidence in our country. Consider Bangladesh as your own country and your own second home. We welcome Japanese people and investors with open arms.

Overall, yes, I agree with you that democracy is seen in Bangladesh. Compared to the military style dictatorship of Myanmar, to the Autocratic government in the PRC, we can objectively say that Bangladesh has a working democratic system. Tho I would say that there are elements of corruption and vote buying in the country. But as a developing nation , we can understand this, and I believe that as the country progresses, the Judicial , Legislative and Executive Branches will eventually iron out any residual corruption or keep it, at least, minimal. I would liken Indonesia's transformation into a vibrant democracy as a good example. Notice how there was a close presidential election between Prabowo Subianto, and Joko Widodo.

I support Bangladesh to develop and implement a 'Bangladesh First' Policy.

Thanks bro! I love how our national flags are almost very similar.

Bangladesh Zindabad!

Please ask your RAW guys to give an order to Hasina, give India the Sonadia project or else.

Interesting, but do you think so? India, currently, is in itself looking for more foreign direct investments on its own infrastructure, particularly the HSR , a multi-billion dollar program.

The cost of the Sonadia Deep Sea Port will be in the Billion(s). Given that Sonadia DSP will be the nexus of regional trade, it will require the avidity of major construction and planning firms that have an experience in funding and building such a large scale project. Since Sonadia is on an island, and the plan is to link that island to the mainland, the most likely builders of this massive DSP wold either be Japan or China.

And Given, if Japan wins the HSR contracts with India, this will be used as an opportunity to eventually start new projects in Bangladesh. If this manifests, this will not only Benefit Bangladesh enormously, but so will it for Japan.

No MAN...India is very poor is executing project in their own country...So forget India...If Japan comes to BD, India will be happy with it. Otherise, China or USA always use BD against India for their own interests..

@Kaniska ,

Is there really such great mistrust amongst Indians for China and the United States? I had always thought that there was a Culture of 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' amongst Indians and Chinese.

In my view point India feels insecure about China and its plan...But Indian people does not dislike people of China as it is relevant for Pakistan....If you bypass PDF and its posters, people to people level, no one really see China as an enmey rather they would like to get engaged with China...And for US, the relationship is quite business and trade related..We are not ally of US but not even enemy too...

Thanks for that , @Kaniska . I am in agreement that we Asian people have to learn to live with each other and to encourage greater people to people interaction, trade et al.

Not too long ago,I talk to one Chinese official,he talked about the sonadia port,in his opinion,for security problem,a port in Burma and a port in Bangladesh surely better than Sonadia,because the Chinese interests are link the ports to China,if can't,then why should China build the port in first place?Bangladesh for it's location,any land route link to China should through India and Burma,so why not the whole land route in Burma,even China will lose Burma,but the land route through Bangladesh to China should still cross Burma,so no differance.
But if we look at economical problem,then we can see the reason China's interests in sonadia,I do think China want to invest in northeast India,if the route link between China,Burma,India and Bangladesh can really work,then the northeast part of India can be developed from this project,then China's Yunnan province will benefit from this development,because Yunnan is far away to the coast of China,but near upper Burma and northeast India,if those places developed,then the products of Yunnan can sell in those places and the merchants of Yunnan can invest in those places

Sorry,my mistake
the correction
a port in Burma and a port in Pakistan surely better than Sonadia
I think there are reasons the Chinese government care more about Gadwar and Burma,in both countries,we can have land route directly link to China,while in Bangladesh,we can't
If we want the Sonadia to be an important port,then the route link to China needed,otherwise,if any people want to trade with India,they don't need to use Sonadia,they can use any ports of India.and if someone want to do business with ASEAN countries,they also can just use the ports of ASEAN
But if we look at northeast India,then you can see the importance of Sonadia,so in my opinion,if you want to operate the Sonadia port,you should have land route to northeast India then Yunnan China.However,in economic view,for China,a Burmese route is still better,so I think the reasons the Sonadia project can't be started also because China lack the interests,not just Awami government didn't let it

Desperate and rubbish indian argument. Bangladesh has sea port to export and import to any part of the world and does not need indian land or port to do that.
Japan knows how indian trade barriers prevents Bangladeshi export and there is no reason for them to consider indian market of territory when considering Bangladesh investment. Besides, there is sizable market in Bangladesh already.

With a population of 154million, a rather Large market at that.
