Where are the Chinese? The Chinese have been our true friends since 1950s. The bully boy india gave us ltte and it took
30 years and 100,000+, mainly Sinhalese Buddhists, lives. Only the Chinese and the Pakisthanis came to our help
while the whole world against us. They helped us to end the indian-made ltte.
Then the bully boy india gave us 13, 13A to put foundations to break up Sri Lanka and please tamils, india and the west. 13, 13A also created another layer of traitor deshapaluwas whose job is to plunder
plunder and whatever the poor country makes. To this day we can’t get rid of the 13, 13A straight jacket from the bully.
Indians want Sinhalese-less Sri Lanka and promote tamils and eventually annexe Sri Lanka to them keep the
Chinese away for good from the indian ocean. Why our stupid, back
boneless deshapaluwas can’t understand this simple truth. While indians want to please tamils to secure tn support at
home, the Chinese have no such obligations. Nowadays nobody wants to mess up with the Chinese including india. We
simply can’t understand why our deshapaluwas don’t see this simple truth. Chinese are the best antibiotics to the indian
rash. Invite them to be in Sri Lanka, and indians will back off straightaway!
