Dhaka, Oct 16 (UNB) – Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi on Tuesday assured BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia, now in Beijing, of China’s continued support to Bangladesh in its economic and infrastructural development.

Begum Zia will be heading to India after the Chinese visit. I wonder why.........................................................

It is called political balancing

BAL logic is inventive.... I got to give them that. Chinas assistance should be sought to counter Indian aggression. Offer them a naval base or something. This will complete the string of pearl strategy.

Actually bro, I believe this is one of our best bet against Indian aggression but for that china have to get to a decent level of power projection which they hopefully will 20 years time. And also we have to become economically and militarily sound enough to take that bold decision and
complement chinese strategic interest.

DHAKA: Awami League joint general secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif on Monday accused BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia of taking China tour to destroy its relations with Bangladesh.

“Khaleda Zia has been in China to complaint to it against the government with stories cooked up by the corrupt to destroy Bangladesh’s relations with the predominantly Buddhist countries,” he said.

Hanif said China and Japan are Bangladesh’s main development partners. “In order to block the country’s development, she is now visiting China.”

The ruling party spokesman was addressing an extended meeting of Awami League Dhaka City Unit at its office at Bangabandhu Avenue in the city.

How come this SAGOL Jt. Secretary of AL is talking so ill against the leader of opposition? What kind of politics is this? BD people are becoming continuously Be-Adab because of our politicians. People follow these political Sagols and become rude and ill-mannered.

Begum Zia will be heading to India after the Chinese visit. I wonder why.........................................................

Relationship with India is as important as that with China because while China exports us weapons, India exports us food and cotton worth a few billion dollars. Our garments export is quite dependent upon import of raw materials from India.

Please note a Chinese saying, 'Kiss the hand that you cannot bite.' You really don't believe BD is capable to bite the hand of India, do you? India is inhabited by a miser bunch of people and is a hard nut to crack country. BD will have to take a long diplomatic journey to settle many disputes with India, but without allowing a land tresspassing by it. I think, BKZ's coming India journey is one such step.
