Here we go, another meeting and more death traps. THE ONE AND ONLY REASON WHY CHINA IS DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET CLOSER TO SRI LANKA, CAUSE IT KNOWS AND BELIEVES MORE CORRUPTION AND WOOL CAN BE PULLED OVER OUR POLITICIANS EYES FOR A FEE. WHY THE HELL DO THEY WANT TO WORRY ABOUT SAFEGUARDING OUR TERRITORIAL WATERS, WE HAVE NO ONE INTENDING TO CLAIM OUR TERRITORY. I PREDICT AND FIRMLY BELIEVE JUDGING FROM THEIR GOING INTO POOR COUNTRIES AND OR ISLANDS AND LOANING OR DONATING IS TO PUT THEMSELVES IN A STRATIGIC POSITION TO OPERATE WHEN THEY GO TO WAR WITH TAIWAN
