Colombo, Feb. 29 (Daily Mirror)- China is reported to have expressed its dissatisfaction to Sri Lanka over the decision to bar Chinese research vessels from carrying out any study in the country’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for one year starting from January 3, 2024.
Sri Lanka imposed a one - year moratorium on such activities with the involvement of any foreign research vessel.
The decision was taken in the wake of the Chinese research vessel Xiang Yang Hong 3 planning for exploration in the south Indian Ocean.
The Chinese Research / Survey Vessel is officially owned by the Third Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Ministry of Natural Resources.
Sri Lanka took such a decision in the midst of pressure from India which cited security concerns stemming from such activities in its neighborhood. The Indian media widely hailed Sri Lanka’s decision calling it a blow to China.
However, the Chinese authorities were annoyed by the decision and conveyed its displeasure to Sri Lanka for taking such a
decision at the influence of another country.
While the Indian media hailed Sri Lanka’s decision, the Chinese media started criticizing India for prevailing upon its neighbours to take anti-indian steps.

What is there to "RESEARCH" again and again? You all instigate violence in the region. Let us live peacefully.

SL is trapped between the two bullies, India and China. Why? Because of SL has borrowed from them. Need to regain non-aligned status.

INDIA IS A MORE SAFER COUNTRY TO DO BUSINESS AND OR TAKE LOANS FROM, THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY AS THEY HAVE NO INTENTION TO GO TO WAR WITH ANY COUNTRY. CHINA IS ALSO TRYING TO CLAIN INDIAN TERITORY. WE NEED TO REPAY THEIR DEBT ASAP NEVER BE UNDER OBLIGATION TO CHINAEVER AGAIN.

SL should tell China they want to send Research Vessels to the Taiwan Strait at will.

Indian pressure. Their way if controlling Sri Lankan politician is to invite them to India and treat them with Butter Chicken Curry. That is all. Then they come back and say that we are the same people connected with a history over 2500 years, true , but , at present the Indians only think of well beings of those holding Indian passports.

While appriciating our mutual frindly relationship , I hope China will manage their rechnical requirments in Indian Ocean with the mutual concurrance of Government of Myanmar, as both are frindly nations connected by land. Costal length of Myanmar facing Indian Ocean is 2300 Km.
