By : A.A.M.NIZAM – MATARA
The pratfallen, poloitically discarded, isolated, secluded and the worst quisling of Sri Lanka Mangala Samaraweera who has now become a staunch anti-Chinese than the well known and dedicated China bashers in the former slave traders’ western countries has circulated a lengthy article on 1st July, 2021 to medoia institutions, extensively criticising China citing various epochs of its history, which he says were eras of oppression, plagiarisinmg from anti-China history books. This lingerie designer who was shamelessly genuflecting and licking the feet of Chinese leaders from 2004. Starting from the time of Chandrika’s presidency onwards serving as Foreign Minister in Mahinda Rajapaksa Government until he was kicked out and then in the calamitous foreign and terrorist servile Sirisena/Ranil government was liocking the feet of Chinese leaders and even bowing down to Chinese construction workers especially during the horrendous Sirisena/Ranil era.
He starts his ghost-written article, blaming the Central Bank for the commendable gesture it made by issuing a commemorative coin for the centenary of the Communist Party of China which is a country that has extensively helped Sri Lanka for the last several decades and yet volunteer to help our country.
Suffering from an acute paranoia of despising any economic, social or cultural
progress being made or envisaged by this government, this shameless crony of
the west who used to widely criticise the Sirasa TV channel with various names
in the past, has suddenly become a darling of Sirasa and commends it for
telecasting a story about some Chinese personnel dredging a historic lake in
the deep south Walawe (where youth unemployment is at its highest he claims) and
says it was for many Sri Lankans a shocking exposé by ‘Sirasa,’ and unashamedly dedscribes Sirasa as the only
truly independent TV station in this country today. He adds that this dredging
was carried out under the patronage of a senior Cabinet Minister of the ruling
family. This Goblin seerms to be unaware or deliberately rrfraining from making
reference to shortcoming and misdeeds being shown by Derana, Hioru and
Swarvahini channels in their news telecasts because those incidents relate to
his own government.
Before proceeding further to comment on this stupid goblin’s ghost written article, titled Sri Lanka’s Century of Humiliation” let us wake him up from his deep stupor and acute dementia and remind him many incidents of his licking the feet of Chinese leaders from 2004 onwards, though he now attempts to project Chinese leaders as monsters of the world.

The two countries have steadily increased mutual political trust, carried out fruitful economic and trade cooperation, and exchanged frequent visits at various levels. In April 2005, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited Sri Lanka. The two countries proclaimed the establishment of an All-round Cooperative Partnership featuring sincere mutual support and everlasting friendship. It marked a new stage of growth in China-Sri Lanka relations. Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga also visited China in August 2005. The two sides reviewed with satisfaction the progress made in bilateral exchanges and cooperation in political affairs, economy and trade, culture, tourism and other areas as well as their good cooperation in regional and international affairs. The two sides agreed to keep the momentum of high-level visits. The Chinese side welcomed a visit to China by H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka, in 2007. The specific time of the visit would be decided upon through diplomatic channels, bearing in mind that diplomatic relations were formally established on February 7 of 1957. The two sides decided that, as the year 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries, it will be declared the Year of China-Sri Lanka Friendship. The two sides agreed to hold a number of commemorative activities in each other’s country to promote mutual understanding between the two peoples and strengthen their traditional friendship, details of which would be discussed between the Foreign Ministries and Embassies concerned. The two sides emphasized that expanded economic and trade cooperation would be conducive to the common progress and prosperity of the people of the two countries and that bilateral economic cooperation including cooperation in trade and investment should be further strengthened.

The two sides welcomed increased participation by Chinese enterprises in infrastructure and development projects in Sri Lanka. Consultations were held to work out mutually acceptable facilities for financing of such projects on favorable terms and expediting their implementation. The priority projects are the coal power project in Puttalam, the airport – city of Colombo highway, and the Harbor and Oil Storage bunkering port of Hambantota. Foreign Minister Samaraweera thanked the Chinese side for providing assistance for tsunami relief to Sri Lanka. The Chinese side expressed readiness to provide aid for Sri Lanka’s economic and social development to the best of its ability. Sri Lanka allocated an exploration block in the Mannar Basin to China for exploration of petroleum resources which was appreciated.

The Sri Lankan side welcomed China’s status as an observer of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), and would continue to promote cooperation between China and SAARC. The Chinese side appreciated Sri Lanka’s stand, and reiterated its readiness to conduct exchanges and cooperation with SAARC on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The Chinese side expressed support for Sri Lanka’s participation in regional and sub-regional cooperation. The two sides agreed to continue coordinate their positions on the reform of the United Nations and the Security Council. Both sides maintained that Asian countries should deepen mutual understanding, strengthen solidarity and enhance cooperation in order to ensure that the next Secretary-General of the United Nations will be from Asia. 3. The Sri Lankan side reiterated that there is but one China, that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the Chinese territory. Sri Lanka reiterated that it opposes “Taiwan independence” in whatever form, and will not have any official contacts with Taiwan. Sri Lanka stressed for all efforts made by the Chinese Government to safeguard China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and China’s early reunification. The Chinese side highly appreciated this position of Sri Lanka. Foreign Minister Samaraweera briefed the Chinese side on the peace process of Sri Lanka. The Chinese side reaffirmed that it would continue to support Sri Lanka in its efforts to defeat terrorism, and to safeguard the sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity of the country. The two sides reaffirmed their opposition to the three evil forces of Terrorism, Separatism and Extremism and discussed measures to increase their consultation and coordination in regional and international anti-terrorism activities. 4. Foreign Minister Samaraweera thanked the Chinese side for the warm hospitality accorded him during his visit and extended an invitation to Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing to visit Sri Lanka at a mutually convenient time. Foreign Minister Li accepted the invitation with pleasure. Mangala held discussions with China’s special envoy |
On February 5, 2015, Special Envoy of the Chinese Government and Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jianchao met with Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera in Colombo.
Liu Jianchao expressed that the Chinese side attaches importance to China-Sri Lanka relations as part of China’s neighborhood diplomacy and regards Sri Lanka as a significant cooperative partner in South Asia and to advance the construction of the “One Belt One Road” initiative. The traditional friendship between China and Sri Lanka has emerged stronger over time and should be cherished by both sides. The Chinese side believes, he said, that the new government of Sri Lanka will continuously stay firmly committed to its friendly policy towards China and his country is willing to work with Sri Lanka to fully implement the outcomes of President Xi Jinping’s visit to Sri Lanka, constantly enhance political mutual trust, deepen cooperation in the fields of economy and trade as well as people’s livelihood, expand exchanges in people-to-people and cultural engagement, science and technology, oceans and other fields, and strengthen bilateral coordination and cooperation in international and regional affairs so as to push forward bilateral strategic cooperative partnership for constant development.
Liu Jianchao expressed that major cooperation projects such as the Hambantota port and Colombo port city jointly conducted by China and Sri Lanka meet the need of national economy and the people’s livelihood in Sri Lanka and can bring tangible benefits to the Sri Lankan people. He said that it is believed that the new Sri Lankan government will proceed from the overall development of China-Sri Lanka friendly relations as well as the fundamental interests of its national development, and ensure that the major cooperation projects between both countries will not be disrupted by political changes of Sri Lanka.
Samaraweera welcomed Liu Jianchao’s visit to Sri Lanka as the Special Envoy of the Chinese Government and expressed that Sri Lanka-China friendly relations have withstood the test of times and both countries can be called all-weather friends. He stressed that for a long time, the Chinese side has stood together with Sri Lanka, offered valuable assistance to Sri Lanka’s economic and social development and become Sri Lanka’s largest development partner, for which Sri Lanka is deeply grateful. The new Sri Lankan government is willing to establish full contact with the Chinese government, welcomes China’s investment in and assistance to Sri Lnka and expects to strengthen practical cooperation with the Chinese side in various fields.

As events have shown, however, Sirisena’s strategy does not involve cutting ties with Beijing completely. As The Diplomat reported earlier, Sirisena’s government has promised to move forward with the Chinese-funded Colombo Port City project in order to avoid any misunderstanding” with the Chinese government.
China, for its part, exudes confidence that it will continue to enjoy a strong relationship with Colombo no matter who is in charge China and Sri Lanka are neighbors of long-lasting amity. The two countries have forged a strategic partnership of cooperation based on sincere mutual assistance and generations of friendship over recent years,” a Foreign Ministry spokesman said upon the news of Sirisena’s election.
In a congratulatory message to Sirisena, Chinese President Xi Jinping said, I am willing to make concerted efforts with the Sri Lankan side to keep lifting the China-Sri Lanka strategic cooperative partnership to higher levels.” On February 4, in a message congratulating Sri Lanka upon its National Day, Xi called the China-Sri Lanka relationship unshakeable.”
As a sign of China’s eagerness to continue working with Sirisena’s government, Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jianchao visited Sri Lanka on February 5 (not coincidentally, the same day that Colombo announced it would allow China’s port project to go ahead). In a meeting with Foreign Minister Samaraweera, Liu defended China’s investment in Sri Lanka. Such projects meet the international and domestic demand of Sri Lanka and can bring tangible benefits to the Sri Lankan people,” Liu said, expressing China’s hope that the projects will be allowed to continue. Liu also told Samaraweera that the Chinese side believes that the new government of Sri Lanka will stay firmly committed to its friendly policy towards China.”
For his part, Samaraweera expressed Sri Lanka’s appreciation for the priceless assistance” China has provided for Sri Lanka’s economic and social development. He added that the Sirisena government welcomes China’s investment and assistance.”
Contacts with China are continuing apace under Sirisena’s administration. Sirisena is in India right now, but he will visit China in the near future; Samaraweera’s upcoming trip to Beijing will help lay the groundwork. With that in mind, China isn’t overly worried about Sirisena’s travels in India this week.
Mangala assures China to consult them on any project re-thinking
Mangala Samaraweera during his meeting with China’s Premier Li Keqiang at the Zhongnanhai Leadership Compound in Beijing, 9n 27th February strongly assured that Sri Lanka will not make any decision on Chinese projects it is reviewing until it consults China,
