China expects Bangladesh will not join Quad

China does not need to expect anything as BD is a neutral country and does not join alliances.
The expection is not coming from China but the US and her allies.

IMO China expects nothing.

Let hope BD is smarter than that.

Assistances coming from China and friendly nations are certainly not debt traps but IMF is.

In any case, nation will need to manage their economies better then they will not need to borrow from any nation.

China expects Bangladesh will not join Quad​

'Bangladesh will not fall into Chinese debt trap'​

China expects Bangladesh will not join Quad


China believes that Bangladesh will not join the Quad alliance as the country has said that it will not join any military alliance.

Chinese Ambassador Li Jiming said this on Sunday in a press briefing.

Though the US and it’s Allie’s said that Quad is not against China, practically it’s a military alliance targeting China, he observed hoping that Bangladesh will take a wise decision regarding joining such an alliance.

I know the basic thing of Bangladesh’s foreign policy is friendship to all, malice to none, Mr Li said apparently defending his belief.

He also expressed his ignorance about the media reports which said China is establishing a missive repairing facility in Bangladesh.

So far China’s policy is that it will not set up any military facility in any territory outside China, he added.

The ambassador also indicated that Rohingya repatriation might start this year.

China has been taking relentless efforts to ensure safe, voluntary and dignified repatriation of the displaced people since the beginning of the crisis but it is true that so far no visible progress can be made regarding repatriation, he noted.

But we hope that by this year we can achieve something, he added.

Responding to a question he said China’s share in Bangladesh’s overseas loan portfolio is only around 5 per cent and that is why the notion that Bangladesh might fall into Chinese debt trap is totally illogical.

He said that Chinese investment in Bangladesh has increased by 300 per cent and it will further increase after the beginning of the operation of the Chinese Economic Zone in Chittagong.

This zone awaits the approval of the Bangladesh government and he hoped that very soon it will be approved.

Regarding the Ukraine war, he said that both Russia and Ukraine are China’s friends and China wants that the conflict will be ended through negotiations in a peaceful manner.

Mr Li reminded that Both Bangladesh and China maintained similar position regarding the Ukraine issue.

Replying to a question he said pandemic, and land acquisition were the main problems behind the delay in the implementation of the China-funded projects in Bangladesh.

He also pointed out that the Chinese Belt and Road programme does not lose momentum as off late 10 more new countries had joined the programme.

He informed that students who study in China can soon will be able to return to China under a special pilot project. Only 10 countries are included in the pilot programme and Bangladesh is one of these.

Despite pandemic issuing visas to the businessmen of Bangladesh was not stopped, he mentioned.

Editor of the Business Standard, Inam Ahmed moderated the press event titled ‘Spring Dialogue with China’.

Bangladesh should make it clear to the US that she will join Quad only if India has been kicked out.
 
.
By now BD should realized by now, what is QUAD?

It is an anti-China bloc created by the US and by joining it merely state one nation political stance.

Sure Bangladesh is smarter than that.

Look at ASEAN, under Chairman Hun Sen it has created excuses and dodged an immediate summit with Biden.

They already knew what the summit is all about.

Basically to pressure them to join in an alliance against Russia.

Bangladesh knows how US tried to save them but Soviets played a dirty game at UNSC to divide them from Pakistan.

Bangladesh will never forget that act.

But is that the same administration in power in the US today.

The Soviet Union no longer existed.

So why continued to harp on an old wound.

Bangladesh just has to move forward.

Banglas have a long memory and yes US still supports Bangladesh by importing goods.

But, the question remains to be answered if India likes America at all? Historically, India is pro-Russia and America wants to be friendly with it by citing Chinese hegemony in the region.

When India is giving Russia all out supports in its war against Ukraine, America is repeating India is a QUAD member. Very strange? No. India does not really trust America since 1947.

If India faces China, it should face alone and send troops and logistics through its own land and leave BD alone. However, encircling China is not complete if BD remains uncommitted to it.

Indians are brown people not white people. So US liking India is irrelevant.

Indians are slaves of the US. Indians work for the US and get paid.

Historically, India is pro-Russia

Not Russia but Soviet Union which included Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet states as well.

The entire Indian naval ships run on Ukrainian gas turbine engines and India just evacuated 25,000 Indian students from Ukraine.

That is how the present US administration play their geopolitical games.

There are too many geopolitical weaklings in the world and that is why the US and allies still excels in Propaganda War or Psyop.

Look at Germany. Under the watch of an experienced Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Ukraine issue may turned up differently but with a new geopolitical weakling being elected, he has a lot to learn. Meanwhile the voters will have to pay for expensive gas bills and suffer high inflation.

US does not need India to fight the Chinese.

Indians are not great warriors. US knows that Indians did even fight for their freedom.

Where did get this? India has been neutral in this war. We are not strong to take any sides.

Besides the fact that QUAD is NOT a military grouping, this is the usual way Chinese tell other nations what they can do and not do.
It's a couched threat
Sri Lanka tried to walk the Chinese tightrope and found their economy totally decimated.
India is having to bail out Sri Lanka where the currency has depreciated and riots for food fuel etc have broken out. Its Chinese asset strip and loans has forced them into begging the IMF for loans as Pakistan has had to do.
Chinese will brook no disobedience from countries it "lends" money to.

Yes India has been part of the Quad even before the war started.

We have to do whatever we are asked to do. India is at the mercy of US and EU for our jobs and economy.

If US says jump, Indians will ask how high.

If India faces China, it should face alone and send troops and logistics through its own land and leave BD alone. However, encircling China is not complete if BD remains uncommitted to it.

India is in no position to fight China. So all this talk about whom BD will support is irrelevant.

Correct. Unlike NATO or AUKUS, Unfortunately Quad is not a military alliance. The reason is Quad has a brown country called India as part of it.

So India needs to fulfil the responsibilities for Quad but does not get any protection in return like Japan and Australia get.

Indian beggars can't be choosers.

Without China as strategical leverage in the region, you will try to annex BD and in no time. Pakistan is a different story, they have nuclear bombs.

For the information of those who are interested, this is what I just read.

On the morning of 13 March, (the invaders - ed.) destroyed ‘Zorya’ (‘Zorya’ state-owned gas turbine construction research and production facility - ed.), likely through an air attack.

Zorya is where India purchase her gas turbine from in Ukraine, in Mykolaiv near the Black Sea.

LOL NO

China wants to annex HK and Taiwan because you consider them as part of China.

In the subcontinent, India, Pakistan & Bangladesh parted away because we did not wanted to be together. This is more like Malaysia and Singapore situation.

As worst we will annihilate each other and at best we will have normal state relations. We merging and forming a unified state is beyond question.

Correct. The entire Indian Navy has now been grounded.

Best time for China, Pakistan and Bangladesh to invade India.
