Sri Lanka finalises $1.12 bn port deal with China

[Godman]

With out Srilanka permission even a small fishing boat of China cannt enter the port now.

I don't remember that being different before

India's defence expenditure this year is US$ 53.5 billion, China's is $152 billion.

How can anything Sri lanka do risk india's security than what it already is?

First match the budget, then worry about the little strategic things. If your opponents defence budget is much larger no strategy would work.


Same applies every person, and every other country, thing, or dog.

That's not how things work,for example us defence is more than $600 billion which is more than 4 times of China ,but you see even a small excerise by US with others there is a reaction from China and we are not even talking about US using any facilities of Chinese neighbors.

I don't remember that being different before

Earlier agreement was to let the port be used by Chinese completely for anything they want.

There were never such a agreement and such a agreement is impossible anyway even if it said "China can do anything they want with port" in it. Chinese or any other foreign warships need SL govt approval before entering SL waters and if they want to station armed troops there are many laws from simpler gun control laws to far more complex laws, also foreigners can't come to SL or stay as they please.
If Chinese soldiers needs to be stationed then more agreements needs to be signed and SL laws needs to changed and even more if they bring weapons

On on earth are you talking about? The US is the current superpower because of its large defence budget. China is a potential superpower within the next 25-30 years.

US is super power not just because of the large defence budget,it has no enemies as neighbors.
China too can become one if it has friendly relationship with it's neighbors.otherwise it can keep dreaming even if it's after 100 years

China is already the regional power weather you like it or not. I estimate China's defence budget would exceed the US around the year 2040, then 10 years past that point china would likely be able to displace the US.

Everything is about money and resources, not the little games you have going on inside your head.

If money was everything,then KSA would have been a military power in the middle East and not Israel and Iran .
China is a power in it's surrounding just like India is in it's surrounding.china has long way to go bro , weather you like it or not ,China will be a regional power as long as it has enemies around it as neighbors.
