        ha ha.. what a funny side. People never understand until they become victim. Believing in Chinese technology will be a suicidal. Believing Chinese loans also the same.

        Even India is now fast cooperating & growing trade with China in the face of trade sanctions by stupid Trump! Modi is a very intelligent leader to understand China is never invaders, rather investors who grow together compared with the West who indebted Asia for nothing in return

        This is total Bull Crap created by CIA&Mossad! China are never invaders like the West! Look at history! They always defended their territory not take others! The West & Zionists wants to paint a different picture about China but the World knows better now!

        . Sri Lanka was a HAPPY & WILLING partner here. An excuse was needed to welcome China to theit shores. It was done most efficiently. EVERY ONE of India's neighbors want to do the same exact thing. Willingly. Being a neighbor of India is a curse. They all want to counter it.
