    Sri Lanka had struggled to pay its debt to Chinese firms. So in December, it handed over a strategic port and 15,000 acres of land to China on a 99-year lease.https://nyti.ms/2tyRCgw

        Now showing the USA how it’s done . No need to bomb a nation to get paid! Maybe the Chinese will want Washington in exchange for debt payment

        Last time when I had been to @Sri Lanka, our local guide had expressed concern over@China taking complete control over their port city. This was 3yrs back. And now it's reality. #strangebuttrue

        The engage in currency manipulation. Many of their numbers are fake. Besides our GDP is twice theirs. And their military is not nearly on par. You are a fool.

        I was wrong about that but they gonna be first in only 10-15 years. Now it's 19 trillions USA, 12 trillions China. I was thinking about growth, they are the first in that. And also I was ONLY talking about money, nothing else so you're the fool.
