Hambantota project talks with Sri Lanka should be speeded up: China
Posted on April 8th, 2016
BEIJING: China has called for fast-tracking negotiations with Sri Lanka over the USD 750 million second phase of the Hambantota port which in the past caused unease in India over concerns that the project is part Beijing’s ‘string of pearls’ strategy to contain it.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, during talks with his Sri Lankan counterpart Ranil Wickremesinghe, said both sides should speed up the negotiations on the second phase operation of the Hambantota Port in the southern part of Sr ..

I’m pleased with the Chinese involvement in Sri Lanka to keep the foxy Indians away.

Sri Lanka should get rid of the Indian Consulate which was put in place mainly for spying and nothing else, from Hambantota. Otherwise they will sit and pollute the place – which is what they are famous for!
Pansy Ranil who wanted to chase away the Chinese had to go on his bended knees to China and soon will be coming home with a promise to extend the Hambantota Port Project.
There is a reason for building infrastructure projects. Hambantota Port and Mattala Airport together with the motorways are essentials and are part of the backbone for Sri Lanka’s progress in this century. It is now time for the country to grow around the developed infrastructure and get the full benefit from the already existing facilities. Storing rice at Mattala Airport was a slap in the face of the Chinese. Now they eating humble pie in Beijing!
Pansy Ranil without learning the lesson his uncle Yankee Dicky received from America decided to belittle the Chinese. Now he is in China with the begging bowl and getting his just desserts.
Chinese have told him to get on with all the Chinese projects with more to come. All Pansy Ranil’s “boys” now have to worship China from now onwards!

At last the stupid traitor Ranil has realised the dirty Indians are not our friends, they are a bankrupt lot and even can not help themselves. This is also a kick in the arse for that idiot modi Chandrika. Finally Ranil has realised we need China more than China need us.

Sri Lanka needs to get out of who did what. The need of the hour is to get rid of the Pansy Ranil Administration which is making in roads to make Sri Lanka another Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Yahapalana plot was hatched in the US. Pansy Ranil and his “boys” are only the instruments of that action. Now that the change is there, US does not need Ranil and his cohorts anymore. This is exactly what they did for Yugoslavia. It was the IMF that ran that country to dogs and finally dismemberment.
Same fate awaits Sri Lanka unless the people are smarter!

Ratnapala,
In that case forget about what Ranil did and what MY3 did.
Ranil has been against the India recently. He said Indian fishermen should be shot dead. No other leader said such thing. He is going to China. He is against India. Please support him.

Dham, your cover is blown. Everybody can see that you are going ‘shopping’ for Ranil. We cannot forget Ranil and Aappaya for they are still there. Ranil’s agenda for dismemberment of Sri Lanka is still in force. He is a tool of the Catholic Church. He is the one who wanted to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the despicable Portuguese landing in Sri Lanka and the advent of Catholicism in Sri Lanka. Ranil’s sins goes way back and there is no way he can be exonerated for all he has done against Sri Lanka. The list is endless and his potential to harm Sri Lanka deadly!

Ratnapala,
“Everybody can see that you are going ‘shopping’ for Ranil.”
You read my comments properly and decide. It is up to you.
What I am saying is there are “visible Ranil” and “invisible ranils’.

Ratnapala,
You should not hang on to personalities.
Surely past action matters. This is what I wanted to prove to you.
If Ranil’s past action matters then past action of others who have gone against Buddhist with a banner ”
I am Sinhala Buddhist” also matters.
But people can change with change in wisdom. Nothing is permanent.
We want a change in MR too. Without pushing for it you will not get it.
You don’t have to trust media.
Look at the dangers of having Indian Embassy in Jaffna. Actually Hambantota is OK , you can control.
Why created these after peace achieved with so many lives sacrificed ?
