    Chinese brainwashing. When they come back home, tell them "Port City Sucks, Dalai Lama, and free Tibet" if they throw a fit they will need to be send to a re-education camp lol.

    Lets hope they will learn how China deals with CORRUPT officials, Hope they can meet some who are under arrest for cheating the people and bring a copy of the 50 odd offences where capital punishment is given.Hope they will see how the Customs, Immigration and Inland revenue are in uniform..

    Sapu Tuesday, 27 October 2015 07:11 AM

    Why China? Even if China funds it we could have gone to a EU country and learn from them. Only good thing to learn from China is hanging corrupt officials

    Bala Tuesday, 27 October 2015 01:26 PM

    Hope they keep behind the new pistols issued to them. They can get cheap Chinese toy pistols to frighten people like the Tangalle Mayor.

    What about Namal Rajapakse? Perhaps they considered that he already is fully aware of the Chinese system.
