Discussions are underway to transfer the Norochcholai coal power plant to the Chinese company in lieu of the massive US $ 1350 million loan obtained from that country to construct the project, informed sources said yesterday.

A correction. BMICH construction was done entirely by Chinese on a Chinese grant with all workforce including engineers and labour from China in the early 70s.

This is only a hoodwinking effort! This will never be transferred ,but from now onwards you should expect more breakdown and more deliberate stoppages

Can we have a few lines of National Anthem in Sinhala and Tamil, or the whole thing would be in Mandarin?

Have they accepted this plant? If they have any brains, they will not take it on. Its a old plant, not reconditioned to standard only painted. The Chineses are not fools
This was a commission that couldnt be refused. Forget the generation side of it.

Patnall Friday, 15 February 2013 12:50 AM
This is only the start. Sri Lanka has lost its independence for the loans borrowed from China. What are we going to transfer to the IMF?
game over Friday, 15 February 2013 12:17 AM
At one point country will be sold to one country or many countries thanks to foresight of the regime. In that context China is better than India. But parts of prime lands been already sold to various companies thanks to 20% commission.

Very soon Chinese language will become compulsory and start now to study.

With the 1st hand real experience of 300mw failure, do we really have to take more loans to continue the other 600mw? and hand in the plant to Chinese and pollute the country with fly ash. Abolish coal power in Sri Lanka. This is the worst source of power in the world. via DM Android App

Why not transfer the country to Chinese than in installments.
Araliya Thursday, 14 February 2013 03:00 AM
the previous minister objected to this and it is the reason for the recent change of ministers. Actually, this is old news as the full story was published two weeks back. Don't know what the "patriots" have to say about selling national assets to foreigners.
onlooker Thursday, 14 February 2013 03:02 AM
This will be followed up by Hambantota Port and the Hambantota Airport. After satisfying the Indians & Chinese will there be anything left for Sri Lankans

China gave us Rice at concessionary price to feed the masses free (2 measures/2 Kilos) per week per adult under the rubber - rice pact by Sir John during the Korean War. Why cant we sell them rubber now in exchange?
GC Thursday, 14 February 2013 07:24 AM
They get the interest on the loan and also the income on the power generated.

Fazli Thursday, 14 February 2013 07:02 AM
I think we should start issuing NIC to Chinese. And who knows we may have already started one. Also take a list of other national assets such as Mahaweli and negotiate with Chinese again but this time some attractive easy payment scheme. Disgusting Affairs !

Pol Pot Thursday, 14 February 2013 06:33 AM
There was a time, just after the first JVP Insurrection, when China gifted Sri Lanka a Cotton Mill in the North Central province. The Chinese engineers who were supervising the project were so impressed with our Baas Unnehes that they wanted to take them over to China to teach their people. What has happened to the expertise that we then had in this country. Even the BMICH was financed by China, but built by Sri Lankan expertise a labour. Why have things changed so much since then. Is it because Politicians in their ignorance have taken matters into their own hands, and left Engineers and Planners in the lurch? Why are the educated technical people even of the Majority Community, leaving the country. MR should look into this problem, before it is too late, and Sri Lanka like Tibet becomes another Colonial outpost of China.
