Despite India’s concerns, Lanka allows Chinese spy ship to dock at Hambantota from Aug 16

The Sri Lankan government has allowed a high-tech Chinese research ship to dock at the southern port of Hambantota from August 16 till 22, days after it asked Beijing to defer the port call amidst India's concern over the vessel's presence in its neighbourhood. The Chinese ballistic missile and satellite tracking ship, 'Yuan Wang 5', was earlier scheduled to arrive on Thursday and remain at the port until August 17 for replenishment.

Thank you so much Sri Lanka..! We expected this. Not only Sri Lanka but most of the other neighbors countries are against us. In 1971 war Sri Lanka allowed Pakistan air forcefor refueling & maintenance.

[sashimongba]

India should thank Sri Lanka for showing it's true colors in time.

[allenantony]

We as India helping Sri Lanka in difficult times and we are getting this as our fruit

[VARUNCHAMP]

I don't understand why our money indian govt is giving to srilanka and helping... Srilanka is not honest with india.. India should stop helping srilanka

[Nick-]

Stop all financial support to Sri Lanka. Stop Sri Lankan Airlines refueling at Trivandrum airport and ban all Sri Lankan airlines over Indian airspace. Ban all trades with Sri Lanka until further notice. This is national security matter and India should be act very seriously.

Sri Lanka's game plan is to play India & China against each other for its own benefit.

This is the gratitude towards India for helping in tough times

[akshanshgrover]

I am glad this a lesson for us that we are yet not influential as china even to our closest neighbour.

India should prioritize it's security concerns in a very firm and strict manner to its neighbouring countries without loosing its core interest and importance in the Indo-Pacific region by maintaining very strong diplomatic relations with the main South Asian countries like (Sri Lanka, Maldives and Bangladesh).
It is very astonishing and disappointing that even after helping the Bankrupt country ( Sri Lanka) so much by financial assistance and other aids, this country allowed the Chinese spy ship to dock and in the other hand getting ready for a navy exercise with Pakistani warship.
Hope MEA will clarify the status and stand of India in this context, soon.

*Our biggest mistake is we believe in peace and we help everyone...*

[thetruth]

This Docking ship is a message that China is far ahead of India in Terms of how to maintain relationships.

[completingme]

We should stop all aid for Lanka ... Disappointing... Even after all the help Lanka govt playing with India's security

[chinapakistanterrorists]

Wow. There goes India’s diplomacy, money is greater than generosity and friendship in this world!

[achatterjee]

Terrible diplomatic and political failure by that great man of 56'' chest. Neither he understood Lankan Govt's attitude nor its obligation. India should also send its ships near Taiwan and should try to spy Chinease ships near Strait of Malacca. Tit for Tat for China.

[end-gamesforkrsna]

Lanka being Lanka (From ravana to wikramasinge).

[kaminkamin]

It’s not only Sri Lanka. In recent days, countries such as Bangladesh are also showing significant support towards China.

[shashwat]

BJP is truely representative of Hindus, experienced in getting backstabs by our close and trusted ones…and will never learn from history..

[HDDRTY]

What was India' s first clue? Sri Lanka received far more credit from China. They are neck deep in debt and leased that same port to China.

[killercell]

MEA: DON'T WORRY! WE ARE CLOSELY MONITORING THE SITUATION 😂

[EkCitizen]

This proves that Lanka lost his sovereignty over port
