In Sri Lanka, India’s loss, China’s gain

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

The Modi government’s ‘Neighbourhood Policy’ does not seem to be working with the Rajapaksas

At a cabinet meeting chaired by Sri Lankan President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on February 1, Sri Lanka abruptly scrapped the Colombo Port East Container Terminal project with India and Japan, delivering a body blow to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s much touted ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy that has been unable to forestall the re-entry of China into the Indo-Sri Lankan theatre; or, for that matter, in the rest of the ‘neighbourhood.’

The project was announced by President Gotabhaya himself on January 13 in the presence of India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, who was visiting Colombo. What changed between January 13 and February 1? And why did India’s foreign policy mandarins not see this coming?

India is a headache for all South Asia

The entire region knows of the bubbling hatred within India

No one wants to give India any undue influence or presence


I will say it again, China is doing all South Asia a favour by confronting and punishing india
