This govt blamed rajapakse for Chinese projects and now all of a suddenly shell shocked and cannot survive without China

This kind of statements display popular politics with little knowledge of how countries work economic partnerships. There is nothing called level "playing fields". Countries develop special relationships as means of access to investments and promoting growth. Its economic infancy of the politicians to assume that countries will flock to SL with investments. Annoying China, or telling them "take it or leave it" is just plain lunacy and pathetic childishness. China is the best bet for economic partnership due to much economic rationality. This big mouthed talk with the attitude that China will dance to our script is pure political fantasy and big opportunity loss to the country. Did I hear someone say “Sri Lanka missed the bus, AGAIN” , this time in style.

Burrowing from China is ok at reasonable interest rates and following standard tender procedures. Previous govt. did not do that.

Whoever come into power must stop Colombo Port city, is a curse. So much damage had done, you do not need any report to access, just go there see and smell. If blind by money whether is previous or New government than is sadu sadu.

Even if India instigates,Sri Lanka cannot afford to put China on the rack.

Also dont forget to ask WB/IMF where were they during our darkest hours... And NOW China is a baaaad word..No wonder we are only 2nd to India as a thankless nation!!!If you want to reverse everything that the previous govt did, then hey!!!!

WB/IMF rater are very and control by US ... and also so many constrains attached to it ex. they want to demolish free University education in Srilanka. these Chines loans are normal loans, at this time inters rate are really low in the World (below 6). I believe this is a very good time to take loans... In the other hand you need a big boss ... when some one try to bully you.

Any loans from China MUST be equal to WB/IMF rate.They must reduce the previous deals signed with MR corrupt regime to imf rate. If not they would not allowed to bid any future contracts be firm with them.

Being such a small country such as Sri Lanka depends 100% on foreign aids to survive. We need to get help as much we can from everyone but that does not mean we should get in debt or cause any environment damages to our poor country.

This will be just a waste of time and money. I am sure the projects will go ahead anyway! Stupid!

So all the "Barking" against the "Chinese" looks like "Unnecessary".
