    *As an indian i really want srilanka to grow & m not saying this just because we are close neighbours but because of deep cultural ties that we have but lemme tell you this is the first step of colonialism.. when i was making my project on srilanka China relations i was surprised to see what's going on there. i don't know why they are doing this but we are going to witness modern colonisation. I don't want to predict future but its just how it is still i hope the project turns out to be good and the actual winners to be people of srilanka but incase things go wrong its only the people of srilanka who can save themselves remember british colonialisation of india and what is happening in myanmar so learn from history and fight back when its needed. Love support from india ❤️ stay safe*

    You guys are doing really well. I am sure that this project will attract millions of tourists from densely populated Asia and across the world, who will visit your country to witness the perfect harmony between nature and infrastructural development.
    I believe that publicizing this project and sending a strong message around the world will help you attract more and more tourists, making you rich in foreign reserves and help you to attract trade and commerce in the region. Tourism being your MVP would flourish and create employment for several million people who are directly or indirectly associated with it. Best wishes from my side!😄

      Exactly, this bloody China is expanding the construction time because then there Chinese laborers who work in the Port City get the job for a long time. This is not a city this is a tiny town.
      China is lying. They say there going to build a brand new city in Colombo.
      The central business district of Singapore is 5x the size of Port City. Manhattan is 29x the Port City. The suburb I livw is much larger than the Port City.

    Glad people are now aware of debt-trap diplomacy. For years you would hear about how great China was, choosing to build up Africa rather than exploit it like the west. But their infrastructure projects largely employed Chinese labourers, used Chinese businesses, and would work the local workers very hard, giving them few rights. It was basically getting a country to borrow and pay for a bunch of things to enrichen China and its people, at a high rate which was a win win win for China. Cause either they made a lot of money on the loan, or got assets for cheap. All while making their own companies richer.
    Of course theres the history of the IMF as well. But i think few ever called them saints, they just ignored their actions. China just copied that model and pushed it a little bit further

      Sri Lanka doesn't have to afford this.

The government of Sri Lanka can earn billions of dollars by leasing the land that it will own without even spending a penny.
      And even if the whole project fails it's the private company that will lose $1.4 billion and the Sri Lanka will not lose a penny. It's beyond me how some people can be this illiterate not to understand the difference between a debt funded project vs a 100% private investment.

And India,USAnd Japan developing western terminal of colombo port as a joint venture for 99 years also just besides colombo port city.The port city also will be leasing its land for 99 years and china got 20 hectares already.Port city calling already for investments others can come and invest here.That doesnt mean we will be a colony of yours.

    As a Chinese , I look down how Indians act to this project .
    China is a fast growing economy country , there are more than 10 similar projects are operational in China . In my city Dalian , there is a biggest sea airport of China in under construction .
    China is not interesting of taking other land , No need to , the economy growth is benefit for all of us . We know how important of infrastructure is , when we were poor , our govt invested huge amount of money into infrastructure . Even though , these projects wont get benefit in the next 20 years , Nobody in the world would gave loan to desert road , mount road , sea bridge. Our govt has long version to do it 30 years ago , we could see how this project plaid important role today . How this projects lead business , economy growth from Sichuang ,Chongqing ,Guizhou , where surround by 100km big mountains. The capital city of Sichuan ,Chengdu is becoming the biggest laptop , electronic production base in the world .
    Without transportation and infrastructure , Nothing will happens . Colonize sounds stupid to me , without infrastructure and people , you will lose all money . we are hard working people , the future is in our own hands. When the city raise up to a super economy hub , The benefit will forward to all people who live in this city.

Usually the rent of port would be over 50 years , that international standard , otherwise nobody would get profit from construction . Do you have basic knowledge of port? Of course not .

    Thank you for this video.
    One point of contention however:
    The "debt-trap diplomacy" narrative is inaccurate. Whilst Sri Lanka has a - major - dollar debt problem, this is largely a result of its widespread sale of International Sovereign Bonds (ISBs), some at quite high interest rates, and successive governments living well beyond their means (even spending in rupees to some extent requires USD as the Central Bank tries so keep the exchange rate stable). The Chinese loan (via EXIM bank) that financed the Hambantota Port was at concessionary interest rates, and servicing that particular loan wasn't onerous at the time. Servicing the ISB debt (with relatively high interest rates and short maturity periods - i.e. principal had to be repaid in full in only a few years) was what was onerous and was part of the reason why the Sirisena/Wickremesinghe government had sold a majority stake in the Hambantota Port to China. It's not as simple as the New York Times article on "coughing up a port" suggested.

So keeping only 10% to china is not a trap ,but sri lanka have a debt issue while all loans after 2011 are on high interest rates because sri lanka is a upper middle income nation and 40% of International sovereign bonds have higher interest rates and short period of paying.So sri lanka needs to pay 4 billion USD annually and 2020 sri lanka paid 5.7 billion usd trying to get rid of little bit but with covid 19 spread hit tourism industry will loose 40% of our foreign currency income positioning sri

    Both hambantota and mattala ports are built for future Chinese military bases. Everyone in sri lanka knows this. But people support this because China is keeping India and Americans out of the country. India Secretly funded the ltte terrorists that tried to separate the north of the country so India could annex that land. Americans supported the ltte so they can build bases in the North. But with Chinese and Russian help Sri Lankan army defeated the ltte. From then Americans and Indians have become very hostile towards Sri Lanka. And Sri Lanka came to the Chinese side. This is what's behind Sri Lankas Pro China stance. And China needs Sri Lanka for securing trading routes in Indian ocean as India is a enemy of China. So both countries need each other.

    நீங்கள் சீனாவைப் பற்றி அறிந்திருக்க வேண்டும், நீங்கள் சில வருடங்கள் மட்டுமே உங்கள் எதிர்காலத்தைப் பார்க்கிறீர்கள், நீங்கள் ஆழமாகப் பார்த்தால், நீங்கள் சீனாவின் வலையில் விழுகிறீர்கள்.
    ஹம்பாந்தோட்டா துறைமுகம் சீனாவால் ஆக்கிரமிக்கப்பட்டதைப் போலவே, இன்னும் பல படிப்படியாக உங்களிடமிருந்து பறிக்கப்படும்.
    நான் இந்தியன், அதனால் நான் இதைச் சொல்கிறேன், எங்களுக்கு சீனாவுடன் பகை இருக்கிறது, அதனால் நான் சொல்லவில்லை
    அனைத்து இந்தியர்களும், இலங்கை சுதந்திரமாக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்று நாங்கள் விரும்புகிறோம், எனவே சீனாவின் வாழ்க்கையில் எங்காவது இலங்கை முற்றிலுமாக கொல்லப்படக்கூடும் என்று நாங்கள் அஞ்சுகிறோம்.

      There are no such a thing here.Hambantota port 70 % given to 3 chinese companies for 99 year lease, and Sri lanka established a industrial park and Export economic zone just including the port.so most of the local companies now attracted to Hambantota and some foreign investments as well And becoming a export and industrial hub for Sri lanka, and we using the port develop by china 70%, 30% still sri lankan.Man there are Indian projects also happening in colombo on 99 leased for an example Sapphire Residences in colombo is a indian company and Tata about build Hotels and some luxury apartments also on 99 leased lands. And India,USAnd Japan developing western terminal of colombo port as a joint venture for 99 years also just besides colombo port city.The port city also will be leasing its land for 99 years and china got 20 hectares already.Port city calling already for investments others can come and invest here.That doesnt mean we will be a colony of yours.
