    Cheers! This is the ambassador who talked big of the Chinese COVID-19 vaccines. As I have always maintained ( I am not a doctor but I am confident I have a high IQ) the Chinese vaccines for COVID-19 have a low efficacy rate. This is now clearly seen.

    Don't issue vise to Chinese nationals for port city jobs.

    Most countries have recovered from Covid, but not China. It speaks volumes about the quality of the Chinese vaccines Sinovac and Sinopharm.

    Palita Kohona was hallucinating on the issue of Chinese intentions when he was in good health. Wonder if the intensity of his hallucinations increases with covid

    We are safe in China Thursday, 22 December 2022 09:54 PM

    Americans said they have the best COVID Vaccines yet over ONE MILLION Americans have died of Covid. The Americans and the Indians lead the world in COVID deaths. Check the data from any medical website. China makes its own vaccines but honest to the world and said “ only way to stop the COVID is strict lockdowns “. The Chinese are using the police and military and still continuing with lockdowns. It is working compared to over one million American deaths , a big country like China has recorded less than ten thousand deaths. Americans were jealous of Chinese success and tried hard with propaganda that China was not honest with number of COVID deaths. Now Americans have stopped this propaganda against China once they realised that over one million their own Americans have died of COVID with their “ superior vaccines “. Chinese political system is different to ours but they are very practical in their lives.

    These Rajapaksa clowns promoted the Chinese non vaccine here and it is now plain for all to see how the Chinese duped the underdeveloped third world.

    We are safe in the US Thursday, 22 December 2022 11:16 PM

    No lock down in the US anymore, because we are vaccinated by excellent vaccins. What about China?

    @Vithura, darling you have come out after long time from “psycho” D B S Jeyaraj’s Arse. So what happens to Buffalocitizen and Sokrates and Roisin and German etc so they go back to his Anus. Clearly the Canadian psycho medicine is not working , try Chinese medicine then who knows you could come through his dick and not anus. Anti Sri Lankan and Ant Hindu Bastard paid by rapist Indians. Brian Thomas is going to confess that you to be the conspirator to Colombo businessman murder. You will be tried in Sri Lankan court and hanged in Colombo for the murder of the businessman.

    Well I just don't understand the Covid story from China. The rest of the world could keep on guessing

    Canadian Tamil Friday, 23 December 2022 01:55 AM

    @Vithura —- what an irrational shit you are . We used Chinese vaccines in Sri Lanka , now compare the percentage of Covid deaths between Sri Lanka and India. This shows your brain is damaged by Covid. You are a cheap troll, if I have my way , I will break your bones again !

    We are not safe with China Friday, 23 December 2022 07:45 AM

    “@We are safe in China”. Well it’s clear you are one of the Chinese trolls. That said, well well what happened? Your paymasters couldn’t steal the Western technology to claim “invention” of an effective COVID vaccine? Came up with a (Chinese) vaccines that clearly is like injecting saline, ha. Make you pee. But does nothing against COVId. Your paymasters are the biggest freeloader in the world. Hope they do something meaningful to the World!

    why only sri lanka embassy??? Why Suddenly China covid 19??? Suddenly Young Sri lankan origine arrested for trapping girls in Edmonton. Non of thses evants is not natural, but all set up by globalists net work. They have been using drugs, virus and other mean to mislead people and get involve in crime in order discredit, manipulate or threaten the countries communities that they want destruction. Always, first they spy and poison with mind changing drugs in order to get he or she commit crime. Remember knife attack in Japan, china and popular indian girls rape on bus. And Sinhalese have been targeted through history. all across Europe, US, Canada and Austrialia. there many categories of crime. In some cases, they use, "look like" adult or children. they are expert on drugs and viruses

    Why do we need 22 staff members in Beijing? What service are they providing to Sri Lanka?

    Roisin Friday, 23 December 2022 01:03 PM

    Sisira lost it completely today...! Please bro get a good doctor for your brain. How your family handling you?!

    Volker Metzger Friday, 23 December 2022 08:32 PM

    If China had not refused the use of the most effective vaccine from BioNTech to the population for ideological reasons, the huge problem with Covid would never have arisen in this form!!! And even now it supplies its own population only with its own vaccines, which are significantly less effective!!! This shows how a formerly culturally outstanding people in human history can cause severe human (and also economic) damage through ideological blindness and the resulting political stupidity!!! Although I am almost convinced that the ruling class in China, like the political leadership in Sri Lanka, are all vaccinated with the best vaccine, namely that of BioNTech!
