      Yeah I tells that to my srilankan pals. They know that but they say that cause of their government and only recent of srilanka they don't have much opportunities to improve. Since things are cheaper alot of people aren't motivated to be entrepreneur that's why there aren't any srilankan billionaires. This is from first hand expirience BTW for the past 7 years there. They are like India during thr cold War where many just wanted to survive and live and modern nepal (before economic crisis in srilanka). That's why they have given have and the new generation just wants to leave the country and never come back. Srilanka have high brain drain. Alot of them move to the USA or Australia(mostly in Melbourne). If you check the races with the highest salaries in usa top 10 you can find srilanka having higher salaries on average compared to a average white and African American or even Korean Americans. So yeah most of the government members for the past 40 years ruined that country

      @@setiawanskom8872 See the difference between a bank and china is that with a bank you get many options even if you can't repay your loan on time without severe repercussions, with China there are rigid conditions that cannot be overruled by any means, it is not client friendly, for example Pakistan has been taking loans from China for a very long time, it cannot pay it back which in real they can't, now China eyes Strategic things like highway tolls, even the highway itself, ports like Gwadar are leased for 100 years, these locations can be used by China at any given moment inside a sovereign country without any resistance, that undermines the very security of the nation as China is very well known to occupy lands it considers its own, take for example Aksai Chin, Tibet, China occupied Kashmir etc. It stakes claim on Taiwan and does air raids everyday voilating the Taiwan airspace and it claims stake on the indo pacific island countries as well sending its ships to blockade trade routes for some time to show authority etc.

    You can remove Gotabaya from power by proving that he was still an American citizen when he became the president of Sri Lanka. US records would easily prove this. Corrupted Election officials allowed it to happen and ignored this. They should all go to jail. Why dont the Opposition MPs challange this in Parliament?
    This is an opportunity for the opposition to prove that they are with the people and do not with the rest of the corrupted members of parliment. Take him to the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka or the International Court of Justice.

      Bro there is a reason why alot of countries including Africa and small Europe countries ask Chinese loans cause they provide the most form the rest of the countries. After 2009 srilanka's needed money to increase tourism since the Civil War over and they could finally improve the country after many decades. India couldn't afford to give loans dummy and other than the imf and world bank china were offering a larger loan which was attractive. Don't be stupid India is a big economy and there is a reason why 20 countries went behind China instead of India. If these countries went behind India the government can't afford cause China is richer

      Oh by the way, they govt did state they have 6-8 trillion in debt. Built useless cities, apartments which are vacant and now even manufacturing is moving away to Vietnam / India / Bangladesh. Only time will tell if they really won.
      Yes their infrastructure is head and shoulders above any Country - including US or Germany. Let’s see how long they can continue on this path of borrowing money for their useless infrastructure projects not meeting any goals - including their bullet trains built all over - which is a loss making business. Unless it’s between Beijing shanghai Chongqiing wuhan or a few other major cities.

How much was spent on the war??? Suddenly how Srilankan army had so much modern warfare equipments? Who supplied them those arms and ammunition? Didn't they do war crime killing innocent tamil people in the name of war against LTTE? If they had humanity in them would they have killed innocent tamil people? And they created hatred in sinhala people's mind that tamils are against sinhalese like pakistan has been doing since 1947. What was LTTE's demand??

I hope Pakistani's are seeing this video. They got into bed with the Chinese as well, and you can be sure, that within the next decade, Pakistan will face a similar crisis for sure.

Similarly, even though Punjabi culture and Sinhalese culture may be different, we'd still be brothers. Sri Lanka was part of Indian kingdoms, this country has literally been mentioned in ancient Indian epics. Plus, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism & Sikhism is our common heritage. Language ties, Cultural ties, economic ties, religious ties, and the list goes on.

      Isn't that how all loans work with collateral? Any contract that is signed pretty much has those requirements. The difference between China's loans and the IMF's loans, is that China actually builds the infrastructure that the loans are for, while IMF loans goes directly to the government to build the infrastructure, which often gets pocketed by the government officials and no infrastructure gets built.
      When the countries cannot repay the loan, China takes the infrastructure the loan was for, while IMF imposes austerity measures on the country until the loan is repaid.
