We have been solving em at home, at devil's pace. India sustains one of highest per capita income growth & HDI gains since start of century.I bet India has more pressing issues than watching Sri Lanka turns into a Cuba.
It will enter in "highly developed" category too around 2022 (planned by government), must not be your business.
We are talking about bilateral relations.
In what way? If India has 87% chances of shooting down ballistic & cruise missiles, obviously 13% is chances of being ruined.No country on earth have an effective deterrence against Nuclear tipped misses. Therefore I take your over optimism very disturbing. India won't be able to save her self from a nuclear fallout, nor can China. That is why prevention is practiced by more sane countries.
But hey, I'm not 100% comfortable and not saying India will stop everything (though with integration of all sorts of final commands, India will go very close to 100% kill capability but it will only be close).
Your shield may have some holes but it gives more chances to survive & win a nuclear conflict when your enemy doesn't even has a shield.
Hell! You read their mind? If not for threatening, for what they will come on a small island in India's outskirts?This is not about border warfare. China don't come to Sri Lanka (If they ever did) to start a border conflict with India. Mind that.
Entire issue depends on consumption! China consumes & needs more.Does that even count? What importance does strait of Hormuz hold to India when compared with straits of Malacca to China. Don't put forth stupid arguments.
Other thing, India has been filling it's strategic oil reserves for energy security at wartime level. It automatically reduces concerns for India but it's no argument to justify Chinese intrusion in your countries.
Yah, creation of Chinese ghost city like infra & its failure and then paying of China for their own projects loss, isn't a burden.Sri Lanka has does not need any civil nuclear deal with India. That is far too much burden for Sri Lanka.
Seriously, being anti India and demeaning every Indian initiative, praising communists has become very fashionable in South Asia.
When people will understand, China's revolution was for itself, it's not here for any goodwill for South Asians but for just making moneyn
If these warships show "badwill" against some other country and bombed inside the base will really become a concern for you.Besides goodwill visits of friendly warships are not a concern to Sri Lankans.
India didn't ask you to pay the money that even massive for it's own failed project.China never imposed projects on Sri Lanka unlike India.
And who told you your all projects were started on Sri Lankan will?
Issue of current government is blunder commited by previous one. Happy paying back or leasing them the port. Your friends have already realised what has happened to you and you too will see sooner or later.Issues of current incompetent Sri Lankan government is not a fault of China nor the previous government of Sri Lanka.
Aren't those Tamils your people. Doesn't their peace & prosperity ensures your security? Do you know the importance of connecting nation's parts for flow of money.In fact India has not supported Sri Lanka with economic aid. All India has done was to built some houses for the displaced Tamils and rebuild the railroad to Northern Province just to appease Tamils living in Sri Lanka and Tamilnadu. Besides, all the other proposed Indian aided projects have benefits only to India. Sri Lanka don't need a friendly country like that.
FYI, from last decade, India & Sri Lanka having a high number of deaths in conflicts have not even left it 10% of then while most others managed just downing 60%.
Credit goes to calming the minorities down.
They have put one in Djibouti already, other one will go in Pakistan, almost confirmed. So, third are you.They can't put a permanent bases in IOR. It's too volatile. Chinese knows that.
You guys talked about leasing the port. Just check out the figures 10 years ago & now.Sri Lanka had massive debts even before the Chinese ones. Therefore it's not a much difference.
You are not getting it again!The only escape from debts is through the projects funded by Chinese.
If Chinese funded projects are able to make profits, you will pay China off, they will leave and you will enjoy them. But, if.they are not able to earn as expected, you yourself will have to pay the China back!
That's the entire issue.
