The pratfallen, poloitically discarded,\nisolated, secluded and the worst quisling of Sri Lanka Mangala Samaraweera who\nhas now become a staunch anti-Chinese than the well known and dedicated China\nbashers in the former slave traders\u2019 western countries has circulated a lengthy\narticle on 1st<\/sup> July, 2021 to medoia institutions, extensively\ncriticising China citing various epochs of its history, which he says were eras\nof oppression, plagiarisinmg from anti-China history books. This lingerie\ndesigner who was shamelessly genuflecting and licking the feet of Chinese leaders\nfrom 2004. Starting from the time of Chandrika\u2019s presidency onwards serving as\nForeign Minister in Mahinda Rajapaksa Government until he was kicked out and\nthen in the calamitous foreign and terrorist servile Sirisena\/Ranil government\nwas liocking the feet of Chinese leaders and even bowing down to Chinese\nconstruction workers especially during the horrendous Sirisena\/Ranil era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He starts his ghost-written article,\nblaming the Central Bank for the commendable gesture it made by issuing a\ncommemorative coin for the centenary of the Communist Party of China which is a\ncountry that has extensively helped Sri Lanka for the last several decades and\nyet volunteer to help our country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 
\nSuffering from an acute paranoia of despising any economic, social or cultural\nprogress being made or envisaged by this government, this shameless crony of\nthe west who used to widely criticise the Sirasa TV channel with various names\nin the past, has suddenly become a darling of Sirasa and commends it for\ntelecasting a story about some Chinese personnel dredging a historic lake in\nthe deep south Walawe (where youth unemployment is at its highest he claims) and\nsays it was for many Sri Lankans a shocking expos\u00e9 by \u2018Sirasa,\u2019 and  unashamedly dedscribes Sirasa as the only\ntruly independent TV station in this country today. He adds that this dredging\nwas carried out under the patronage of a senior Cabinet Minister of the ruling\nfamily. This Goblin seerms to be unaware or deliberately rrfraining from making\nreference to shortcoming and misdeeds being shown by Derana, Hioru and\nSwarvahini channels in their news telecasts because those incidents relate to\nhis own government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before proceeding further to comment on\nthis stupid goblin\u2019s ghost written article, titled Sri Lanka\u2019s Century of\nHumiliation\u201d let us wake him up from his deep stupor and acute dementia and\nremind him many incidents of his licking the feet of Chinese leaders from 2004\nonwards, though he now attempts to project Chinese leaders as monsters of the\nworld.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n two countries have steadily increased mutual political trust, carried out\n fruitful economic and trade cooperation, and exchanged frequent visits at\n various levels.\n In April 2005, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited Sri Lanka. The two\n countries proclaimed the establishment of an All-round Cooperative\n Partnership featuring sincere mutual support and everlasting friendship. It\n marked a new stage of growth in China-Sri Lanka relations. Former President\n Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga also visited China in August 2005.\n The two sides reviewed with satisfaction the progress made in\n bilateral exchanges and cooperation in political affairs, economy and trade,\n culture, tourism and other areas as well as their good cooperation in\n regional and international affairs.\n The two sides agreed to keep the momentum of high-level visits. The\n Chinese side welcomed a visit to China by H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa, President\n of Sri Lanka, in 2007. The specific time of the visit would be decided upon\n through diplomatic channels, bearing in mind that diplomatic relations were\n formally established on February 7 of 1957.\n  \n The two sides decided that, as the year 2007 marks the 50th\n anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two\n countries, it will be declared the Year of China-Sri Lanka Friendship. The\n two sides agreed to hold a number of commemorative activities in each other’s\n country to promote mutual understanding between the two peoples and\n strengthen their traditional friendship, details of which would be discussed\n between the Foreign Ministries and Embassies concerned.\n  \n The two sides emphasized that expanded economic and trade cooperation\n would be conducive to the common progress and prosperity of the people of the\n two countries and that bilateral economic cooperation including cooperation\n in trade and investment should be further strengthened. The two sides\n expressed readiness to enhance friendly exchanges in technical development\n and training, energy exploration, tourism, education, cultural and religious\n affairs, youth exchanges and in the academic field, and to seek new ways to\n deepen cooperation in these fields, based on Agreements already signed. The\n two sides welcomed increased participation by Chinese enterprises in\n infrastructure and development projects in Sri Lanka. \n  \n Consultations were held to work out mutually acceptable facilities for\n financing of such projects on favorable terms and expediting their\n implementation. The priority projects are the coal power project in Puttalam,\n the airport \u2013 city of Colombo highway, and the Harbor and Oil Storage\n bunkering port of Hambantota.\n  \n Foreign Minister Samaraweera thanked the Chinese side for providing\n assistance for tsunami relief to Sri Lanka. The Chinese side expressed\n readiness to provide aid for Sri Lanka’s economic and social development to\n the best of its ability.\n Sri Lanka allocated an exploration block in the Mannar Basin to China\n for exploration of petroleum resources which was appreciated.\n  \n The two sides emphasized that China and Sri Lanka shared extensive\n common interests in regional and international affairs, and agreed to consult\n one another and enhance coordination in this regard. The Sri Lankan side\n welcomed China’s status as an observer of the South Asian Association for\n Regional Cooperation (SAARC), and would continue to promote cooperation\n between China and SAARC. The Chinese side appreciated Sri Lanka’s stand, and\n reiterated its readiness to conduct exchanges and cooperation with SAARC on\n the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The Chinese side expressed support\n for Sri Lanka’s participation in regional and sub-regional cooperation.\n  \n The two sides agreed to continue coordinate their positions on the\n reform of the United Nations and the Security Council. Both sides maintained\n that Asian countries should deepen mutual understanding, strengthen\n solidarity and enhance cooperation in order to ensure that the next\n Secretary-General of the United Nations will be from Asia.\n  \n 3. The Sri Lankan side reiterated that there is but one China, that\n the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government\n representing the whole of China and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of the\n Chinese territory. Sri Lanka reiterated that it opposes “Taiwan\n independence” in whatever form, and will not have any official contacts\n with Taiwan. Sri Lanka stressed for all efforts made by the Chinese Government\n to safeguard China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and China’s early\n reunification. The Chinese side highly appreciated this position of Sri\n Lanka.\n  \n Foreign Minister Samaraweera briefed the Chinese side on the peace\n process of Sri Lanka. The Chinese side reaffirmed that it would continue to\n support Sri Lanka in its efforts to defeat terrorism, and to safeguard the\n sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity of the country.\n  \n The two sides reaffirmed their opposition to the three evil forces of\n Terrorism, Separatism and Extremism and discussed measures to increase their\n consultation and coordination in regional and international anti-terrorism\n activities.\n  \n 4. Foreign Minister Samaraweera thanked the Chinese side for the warm\n hospitality accorded him during his visit and extended an invitation to\n Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing to visit Sri Lanka at a mutually convenient\n time. Foreign Minister Li accepted the invitation with pleasure.\n  \n Mangala held discussions with China\u2019s special envoy<\/strong>\n <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n

On February 5, 2015, Special Envoy\nof the Chinese Government and Assistant Foreign Minister Liu Jianchao met with\nForeign Minister Mangala Samaraweera in Colombo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liu Jianchao expressed that the\nChinese side attaches importance to China-Sri Lanka relations as part of\nChina’s neighborhood diplomacy and regards Sri Lanka as a significant\ncooperative partner in South Asia and to advance the construction of the\n“One Belt One Road” initiative. The traditional friendship between\nChina and Sri Lanka has emerged stronger over time and should be cherished by\nboth sides. The Chinese side believes, he said, that the new government of Sri\nLanka will continuously stay firmly committed to its friendly policy towards\nChina and his  country is willing to work\nwith Sri Lanka to fully implement the outcomes of President Xi Jinping’s visit\nto Sri Lanka, constantly enhance political mutual trust, deepen cooperation in\nthe fields of economy and trade as well as people’s livelihood, expand\nexchanges in people-to-people and cultural engagement, science and technology,\noceans and other fields, and strengthen bilateral coordination and cooperation\nin international and regional affairs so as to push forward bilateral strategic\ncooperative partnership for constant development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liu Jianchao expressed that major\ncooperation projects such as the Hambantota port and Colombo port city jointly\nconducted by China and Sri Lanka meet the need of national economy and the\npeople’s livelihood in Sri Lanka and can bring tangible benefits to the Sri\nLankan people. He said that it is believed that the new Sri Lankan government\nwill proceed from the overall development of China-Sri Lanka friendly relations\nas well as the fundamental interests of its national development, and ensure\nthat the major cooperation projects between both countries will not be\ndisrupted by political changes of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samaraweera welcomed Liu Jianchao\u2019s\nvisit to Sri Lanka as the Special Envoy of the Chinese Government and expressed\nthat Sri Lanka-China friendly relations have withstood the test of times and\nboth countries can be called all-weather friends. He stressed that for a long\ntime, the Chinese side has stood together with Sri Lanka, offered valuable\nassistance to Sri Lanka’s economic and social development and become Sri\nLanka’s largest development partner, for which Sri Lanka is deeply grateful.\nThe new Sri Lankan government is willing to establish full contact with the\nChinese government, welcomes China’s investment in and assistance to Sri Lnka\nand expects to strengthen practical cooperation with the Chinese side in\nvarious fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As events have shown, however, Sirisena\u2019s\nstrategy does not involve cutting ties with Beijing completely. As The\nDiplomat reported earlier<\/a>, Sirisena\u2019s\ngovernment has promised to move forward with the Chinese-funded Colombo Port\nCity project in order to avoid any misunderstanding\u201d with the Chinese\ngovernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China, for its part, exudes confidence\nthat it will continue to enjoy a strong relationship with Colombo no matter who\nis in charge China and Sri Lanka are neighbors of long-lasting amity. The two\ncountries have forged a strategic partnership of cooperation based on sincere\nmutual assistance and generations of friendship over recent years,\u201d a Foreign\nMinistry spokesman said upon the news<\/a> of\nSirisena\u2019s election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a congratulatory\nmessage<\/a> to\nSirisena, Chinese President Xi Jinping said, I am willing to make concerted\nefforts with the Sri Lankan side to keep lifting the China-Sri Lanka strategic\ncooperative partnership to higher levels.\u201d On February 4, in a message<\/a> congratulating\nSri Lanka upon its National Day, Xi called the China-Sri Lanka relationship\nunshakeable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a sign of China\u2019s eagerness to continue\nworking with Sirisena\u2019s government, Assistant Foreign Minister Liu\nJianchao visited Sri Lanka<\/a> on February\n5 (not coincidentally, the same day that Colombo announced it would allow\nChina\u2019s port project to go ahead). In a meeting with Foreign Minister\nSamaraweera, Liu defended China\u2019s investment in Sri Lanka. Such projects meet\nthe international and domestic demand of Sri Lanka and can bring tangible\nbenefits to the Sri Lankan people,\u201d Liu said, expressing China\u2019s hope that the\nprojects will be allowed to continue. Liu also told Samaraweera that the Chinese\nside believes that the new government of Sri Lanka will stay firmly committed\nto its friendly policy towards China.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Samaraweera expressed Sri\nLanka\u2019s appreciation for the priceless assistance\u201d China has provided for Sri\nLanka\u2019s economic and social development. He added that the Sirisena government\nwelcomes China\u2019s investment and assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contacts with China are continuing apace\nunder Sirisena\u2019s administration. Sirisena is in India right now, but he will\nvisit China in the near future; Samaraweera\u2019s upcoming trip to Beijing will\nhelp lay the groundwork. With that in mind, China isn\u2019t overly worried about\nSirisena\u2019s travels in India this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mangala assures China to consult them on any project re-thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mangala Samaraweera during his meeting with China\u2019s Premier\nLi Keqiang at the Zhongnanhai Leadership Compound in Beijing, 9n 27th<\/sup>\nFebruary strongly assured that <\/strong>Sri Lanka will not make any decision on\nChinese projects it is reviewing until it consults China, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
