Not sure how we have 100 dollars in the first place. The port was built by China but was never controlled nor managed by China. Due to debt, we are taking over 80% of the port under proper commercial management and after 10 years we will reduce the stake to 65%, that is provided, someone can pay for that stake. The real deal would be if India can force SL from taking over that port, this is be a strategic gain. ALAS, the Anti China ports minister was fired for a reason.See mate you had 100 dollar bill and now you have 70 dollars and you start jumping up and down with joy claiming profit its as easy as that.
No military base
No monetary gain
One sided grants to an alienated population as a possibility equivant to loss in economic terms.
99 years you are ready to bleed for one wrong decision ? Go on
Remember Soviet Union and its economic mismanagement the more you bleed and hide below the carpet the more skeletal you become. Nothing is permanent in this world.
1) We never wanted a military base NOW
2) Of course there is no monetary gain NOW, we just took over the port jose. Whether it can be profitable, my guess is if we can manage it like Piraeus and Colombo, it will be
3) Grant is not happening now, it's just my guess. Since they can't pay back their debt, the logical step would be to convert those debt to other strategic gains.
We are not exactly Soviet Union aren't we? We are a market based mixed ownership economy with an nationalistic authoritarian government. Last I heard our SOEs had a profit comparable to Indian budget.
