China says India made ‘great efforts’ to help Sri Lanka; South Asia remains its priority

China on Wednesday praised India for making “great efforts” to help Colombo to tide over its worst financial crisis even as it refuted Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s remarks that Beijing has shifted its strategic focus from South Asia including Pakistan to South East Asia, saying the region still remained its priority.

Sri Lanka has been grappling with unprecedented economic turmoil since its independence from Britain in 1948. Sri Lanka’s economic crisis has created political unrest with protesters demanding President Rajapaksa’s resignation.

“We have also noted the Indian government has made great efforts in this aspect. We recognise that,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here while replying to questions about whether China, which has made big investments in Sri Lanka, is hesitating to help it when the island nation is facing the worst economic crisis.

Why is it always that these clowns sleep while their land is ceded to China for 99 years and when the Chinese get 40 year tax holidays?
When it's anything concerning us suddenly protests?

When everything is on aid or a loan your bank account looks gaining.

But superpower get anything in return. What we getting?
it will depend on how the relationship is nurtured, too early to say. this is just the first move, chini will do a counter move so on and so forth.

just like in chess, not all outcomes are predictable.
