China urges Bangladesh not to go for other countries

This thread is not about Pakistan but concerns China, China and BD's relations are built on geopolitics, it's hard to talk about the relations without looking at this particular neighborhood.
MM serves China far better Geo-Politics than BD. BD has a lot of baggage and have to maintain partnership with wide variety of states, from neighborhood to western world to muslim world, even with Russia.
We dropped Chinese investment in Sonadia for this very reason instead went ahead with Japanese in Matarbari. We got options.
In next 2 decades BD aspires to become giant and offer its own geo-political interest to others.

Look like a short of political pressure in my opinion. China doesnt dare to request such thing to Indonesia though.

Any way Bangladesh has already favored Indonesia over train car deal and now Indonesia and Bangladesh are working to improve their trade relation. Indonesian Muslim traders IMO will favor Bangladeshi garment over Chinese one if the trade deal is finalized but Chinese Indonesian traders IMO will keep buying Chinese garments.

TBH, we have to be very practical when the case is China. About Rohyngyas I understand the Chinese position, simply they are defending their interest and that is against us no doubt, but it's natural that everyone would be doing so, not only China.

But in other cases China Bangladesh has very warm relationship and if we show our back to China in their crucial time, it may backfire later. Doesn't matter how closer we are or will be with Westerns, they are not alternative to China as we saw the alliance result of West in middle east.

If we remain faithful ally to China in their problematic time, once it will benefit us. China will defend our interest if it doesn't harm their own interests ( like Rohyngya cases) , as they are protecting Pakistan from many odds and giving Pakistan various support.

We like it or not, India is going to be the real threat for Bangladesh and it's clear now from the activities of their govt. They showed their true face in recent days. So we have no alternative to China in order to counter our bad neighbor ( who always pretended to be an ally) .

I would any time choose the interest of Bangladesh anydays over the joint interest of Muslim ummah. As we have already seen the support of Muslim ummah for India. If we will be in trouble, it's not Muslim ummah who will speak for us ( as they are not speaking for Kashmir too), it will be China who will be speaking for us.

China needs BD like BD needs China.

China is not doing BD any favours.

Here are some juicy contracts that China would like to bag:

1. 16-18 billion US dollar 2nd nuclear power plant
2. 3 billion US dollar next-gen 6 frigate programme.
3. Potential to sell up to 40 J-10CEs to BD.

Let us not forget that Chinese are investing 10s of billions of dollars into BD to reap rich rewards from the fastest growing large developing economy in the world.

Say China supplies BD with J-10CE and there is a war between BD and India. It is in Chinese national interest to supply BAF and so they will not be doing BD any favours there.

China and BD have a strict business relationship after Rohingya. They made their bed, let them lie in it now.

BD will not act against China but nor will it help China unless there is a direct benefit to BD.

Well your points are valid too. Okay let's see what is going to favor Bangladesh the most.

Imagine a nation that is from Mediterranean to Pakistan, and another one is Bangladesh to Indonesia. Such bigger Muslim nations only can be giant again. But is it possible in today's standard?

Why China is huge power? Simply they have 1.4 billions of population, huge land and they are managing the population properly, India also has the good chance of doing so. Only we are ignoring reality. In reality we need to establish a chain if not empire under same flag. We need to form an alliance like Europe did.

If this type of huge Islamic gigantic union is really formed with wester wing from Mediterranean till Pakistan and eastern wing from Bangladesh till Indonesia then it will be a dream come true situation for India.....

we can earn billions annually just by becoming a transit hub for connecting western and eastern wing... be it providing rail or road route, be it electric grid lines through India, be it gas pipelines, air space etc.... we can earn billions by giving them access to each other....:cheesy::cheesy::cheesy:

We can also encourage Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan to form single union with India on same lines of this new Muslim republic :smitten::smitten::smitten:

China urges Bangladesh not to go for other countries

Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming on Monday urged Bangladeshi businesses not to switch over its supply chain to any other countries as an alternative to China in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

“I strongly recommend that Bangladesh businesses shouldn’t reconsider their supply chain to switch over to any other countries from China,” he told diplomatic correspondents sharing three reasons -- it is impossible, it will be costly and it is unnecessary considering the situation on the ground.

Acknowledging the impact of coronavirus to some extent, he said people are now getting back to work while businesses returning to normalcy.

Ambassador Jiming said in this special time when some western media posted “false, fabricated and even insulting” reports on China, he sees most of Bangladeshi media maintain a “fair and objective” attitude.

“I really appreciate your efforts and deeds, and sincerely hope that the media of Bangladesh can continue to introduce a real, diverse, open and developing China to Bangladeshi people,” he said adding that the Bangladesh-China relationship is now at its best in history.

On Rohingya issue, the Ambassador said Bangladesh and Myanmar are the main players, not China, but China is helping the two countries find a solution.

Referring to a tripartite approach over Rohingya repatriation, he hoped there will be some “productive” and “substantial” progress going beyond “lip services”.

The Ambassador laid emphasis on stopping further violence in Rakhine state, and early repatriation of the Rohingyas to their place of origin and development in Rakhine for sustainable solution to the crisis.

He said Bangladesh and Myanmar are both good friends of China, and his country wants more dialogue and negotiations between the two countries.

Ambassador Jiming did not want to make any comment on the ruling of the International Court of Justice, the top UN court, that ordered some provisional measures on Myanmar recently.

The Chinese Ambassador said this year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bangladesh and China.

Over the past 45 years, he said, based on the principles of mutual respect and benefit, the China-Bangladesh relationship has withstood the test of time and changes of the international situation and maintains the momentum of robust growth.

“We’ve developed closer high-level exchanges, growing interactions at all levels and in broad areas, and expanding consensus on good-neighborliness, mutual respect, and mutual trust. Practical cooperation has advanced on all fronts with fruitful results,” said Ambassador Jiming.

He said the cultural and people-to-people exchanges have flourished and all of these brought tangible benefits to the people of China and Bangladesh, and made a great contribution to the peace, stability, and development of Asia.

Looking forward into the year of 2020, the Chinese Ambassador said they are ready to join hands with the Bangladesh government and people, taking the 45th anniversary as a great opportunity, to enhance the synergy between our development strategies.

He also laid emphasis on jointly promoting Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), increasing mutual understanding and learning of respective governance, building an even stronger China-Bangladesh community with a shared future and embarking on a new journey.

Responding to a question, the Ambassador said the BRI will be strengthened, not weakened, once China confidently overcomes the current situation caused by coronavirus.

President of Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh (DCAB) Angur Nahar Monty and General Secretary Touhidur Rahman also spoke at the event – DCAB Talk.



SI
No need to urge. China now represents 17 percent of global economy. Most countries are dependent some way or another as almost every manufacturing items or part of it comes from china. China is most dominant member of global value chain when it comes to manufacturing. Good luck finding a substitute.

While BD cannot wholly avoid China it can minimise reliance on it.
As long as it benefits BD, then it should reduce dependence on China.

Guys let us cut out this mudslinging at each other.
Not really important which side started it.

BD and China need to focus on how to use each other for mutual benefits - China can make money out of BD and BD can use China for infrastructure loans and military goodies.

Even without Corona I think the shifting of low end labor to South Asia would be a boon for Pakistan but need competent pitch men who can convince these firms they can thrive here
tbh with you, Pakistan finding an alternative to CHina is a dead on arrival situation. From the get go, no country will hook up Pakistan like China over the long term. lol. this is easy.

His country is Canada.
If Canada is backward, you must consider China as a third world LDC.
Per capita wise Canada is much richer than China, true, but Canadian cities do look like third world comparing to most Chinese cities now.

I'm grateful to you for proving my speculation about your intelligence correct.:D

@Atlas @UKBengali @BringHarmony @Abu Shaleh Rumi
This gem right here!:rofl::sarcastic::sarcastic:
Ok I should stop.It's not good to make fun of intellectualy challenged people.My bad.:(
They are richer per capita wise, but that's it, country wise ,in almost all fields they are far behind China. That's also true.

Come on now.While I agree that you're far ahead of us in almost every field except freedom & liberty of it's citizen, Canada is on a different leve altogether.It's a first world developed country far ahead of most of the Asian countries including China.

Maybe China can be emerge ahead of Canada in the future. But right now, you're not.

In what field? Trade, manufacturing, transportation, infrastructure, military, space technology, 5G, AI....? in what field Canada is far ahead of China?

Canada is a rich coutry due to its vast land, rich and plentiful natural resources and few population, but that's about it, as a nation, it's far behind China in almost every field.

Should China conquer Norway, Canada, Poland?
