Complete bunkum! W R is a pro-Indian. He is distracting people from the Indian takeover of SL’s petroleum sector (IOC), Trinco oil tank farm and the land, Colombo Port East terminal, etc. None of these bring dollars but takes out SL’s dollars.

There is no foreign loan on Hambantota port. Colombo south port terminal and coal power plant make profit and earn foreign currency/save foreign currency. The total of other loans is very small.

The debt trap is not due to any Chinese debt. It is due to International Sovereign Bonds and SL Development Bonds. For instance, total amount of bilateral loans (China, India, Japan, USA, etc.) to be repaid in 2022 is about $0.8 billion whereas total bonds and their interest to be repaid is $5.5 billion.

Indian RAW agent WR is doing what his master wants.

The context of John Kotelawala’s speech (he was called the ass of Bandung – Bandung Booruwa) thereafter is he was seen pro-China after the 1952 rubber-rice deal. This was his foolish attempt to be seen otherwise. He was knighted for a reason – to serve the British monarch! That’s what the fool did.
