Debt default means their trust ratings will go down. It will be very hard for them to get new loans or issue bonds.

IMF could issue austerity measures. Meaning they will have to do whatever IMF says. All kinds of Global institutions will increase their interference in government.

Further currency devaluation is a possibility. This will create high inflation rates. Many investors will move their money from banks, which could lead to liquidity crisis in banks.

Creditor countries and institutions could force Sri Lanka for debt restructuring, Which could lead to higher taxes. Sri Lanka may have to give up some of their assets to creditors as well.

International trade will see significant drop. Exporters could face heavy loses. This will also reflect on stock markets and employment. GDP numbers could also go down.

As long as India builds a strong navy and airforce and her economy is the same size as China or US, Sri lanka would be forced to accommodate India's security needs first.

China's String of Pearls is just that, pearls that can be plucked at anytime.

I this applies in the context of India and Sri Lanka.

Stop Walking on Eggshells

Do you feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to? Are you the focus of intense, violent, and irrational rages? Do you feel you are "walking on eggshells" to avoid the next confrontation? If the answer is "yes," someone you care about may have borderline personality disorder (BPD). "Stop Walking...

we keep creating strategic space for external players to come in and mess up our growth trajectory. If we factor in the cost of interference vs the cost of investment for land ownership, the latter is no brainer. We should make large investments in exchange for land and greater say in Sri Lanka politics. If Sri Lanka can become a state of India, that’s better

lankans now have choice of which country they prostitute themselves to.
Choose IMF (== CIA) route and become a US outpost or go deeper into the cheeni embrace.

My guess is China has game planned this well.

we gave them credit, not hard cash. we might get it back from whichever country rescues lanka sometime in distant future...

just like drinking tea on credit from the friendly neighbourhood hotel uncle..

Don't see Chinese bailing out anyone - whether pakis or lankans

They don’t need to bail, just collateralize the existing loans

why not? napaks are cheeni slaves and now cheens have a once in a lifetime opportunity to grab lanka by offering to bail them out. why wouldn't they take this chance to encircle us from north and south?

There's a limit to how much they are will to shell out hard cash for some "strategic" real estate. Most of the bri projects are dud already. Their banks under stress already

Chinese haven't mastered the art of strategic maneuvering to serve business interests as well as Americans. They're currently spending cash to buy assets. Americans use strategic positioning to make cash. Their own domestic requirements are fairly high
