Bangladesh, China agree to increase military cooperation

Yes but even if the Chinese retreat, how far will they retreat ? they are still from the same region as BD and however weak or strong China may become, China will continue to serve as a counterweight to India or any Indian successor state forever.

Exactly, and that's the reason my vote is for Chinese block.

But other people are welcome to vote , that's why there is another option too.

But whatever maybe the case , my vote always goes for China as long as India is a threat. And I believe India will always remain a threat.

Especially in the NE, which is BD's backyard because the traditional chinese heartland has had always had a border with NE and will continue to do so in the future. It is

Agree.

Aligning with China serves more of BD interest. Think about the relationship between russia and the central asian stans. Soviet union gone , but the Stans main close ties with Russia. Far closer to russia than USA, co incidence ? NO. Russia is in their same region and also geographical proximity . Same rules apply for BD China relationship.

Perfect . I couldn't have said it better myself. Whole heartedly agree.

It is completely in BD's peril to antagonize the Chinese.

So no, BD needs a closer relationship with China. Pakistan paid for their mistake in 1960's - 1990 by ignoring china and favoring the west over China by losing half their country and becoming a wahabi breeding ground. Pakistan has significantly recovered now and has learned its lessons.

Your neighbors will stay with you forever. The guest only comes and stays for a limited time with a expiry date. Lesson is there in this for BD, for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

Exactly brother no disagreement. But I am sure many others will not agree. But that doesn't matter , I believe that Bangladesh have already chosen China finally, maybe not overtly but the deal is done.

India may be less of a threat than our own domestic 5th column.

Indeed. Actually India use these fifth columnists.

But it's natural, as it's the dirty job for a country ( hire uncle toms) , and nowadays it's necessary to survive, or become influential.

But unfortunately inside our govt there are huge amount of uncle toms since 50 years and it's not easy to remove them overnight.

No. I think Bangladesh army should stay neutral buy weapons from Turkey and France and reduce dependency on China.

Bangladesh army should not buy weapons from US which will anger China and also should not buy weapons from China which will anger US.

Moreover Turkish weapons are good and costs much lower than American weapons. They can be bought in large quantities.

Don’t worry about Bangladesh. You should worry about burma and Buddhist monkeys who kill innocent while claiming to be peaceful
