The real question now is how to deal with Vietnam's disruptive behaviour? Vietnam's PM just tried to defame Sri Lanka, by misrepresenting its diplomatic position, in order to derail its foreign policy. Any trust they once had is now down the toilet. China is well aware of and used to Vietnam's extreme treachery - throughout history, this is the defining quality of their people. But Sri Lankans are probably shocked by it. I hope Vietnam can offer a sincere apology immediately. They are already becoming a pariah state - they can't have Sri Lanka abandon them as well.

The same website, Colombo Gazette, issued a rebuttal:

I feel sorry for you - you've never been this delusional and alienated from reality before. I remember in the past when I went to the zoo and saw a monkey grab at a banana, only to find out it was only a tree branch - this memory has come flooding back to me for some reason. :rofl:
