Dhaka, Beijing should ‘deepen strategic partnership’: Chinese envoy

[etylo]

BDs on the forum are constantly asking China to do the impossible for them, that is China should turn MM into China's enemy and pound hard or destroy the military junta gov in MM. Or worse still, BDs accuse China is in collaboration with the MM junta to cleanse and drive away Rohingya to BD and also working together against BD. This is ridiculous lie or just Indian delusion.

Tanks, artillery systems, ballistic missiles, submarines etc.

These basic weapons?

These basic weapons?

For China these may be basic weapons but for Myanmar these are ultra-modern weapons.

Economically we are contributing more to the Chinese economy. Each year you guys export $15 billion worth of products to Bangladesh. How much you make from Myanmar?

It's extremely insignificant in China's total trade and exports, besides, MM has a long common border with China, the west tries to set up a pro US and west government in MM and destablise the Chinese southern border, do you think China would do nothing about it? hundreds of thousands troops died in Korean war and do you know why? very simple, to push US away from the every Chinese border.

I was not talking about China's total trade and exports. I was making a comparative analysis of Bangladesh and Myanmar's contribution to China's economy. About China's relation with the U.S., I totally agree with your analysis

Most times, national security comes before business or money for every country in the world, China is no exception in that.

Now add $23 billion worth of construction job China got from Bangladesh.

Myanmar military junta has been a major security threat for Bangladesh. We are ready to help Myanmar so that Rohingya people can return to their homeland safe and sound. But Myanmar military junta is using delaying tactics so that the Rohingya people never returns to their homeland. If your country is so disgusted with the military junta then why do they sell sophisticated weapons to Myanmar?

The guys right, you sound deluded. We are strategically important some what to China. To keep N/E India tame or neutered, or possibly be under our sphere of influence.

As we become more economically stronger, the economic benefits for China and for various other parties will increase, Inshalla our own ppl.

These billions of usd you are mentioning you sound, really silly. China gdp is 10-15 trillion usd last time I checked.

I was not talking about China's GDP. I was talking about Bangladesh and Myanmar's comparative contribution to China's economy. You didn't read my posts carefully.

They are both very small in China's total trade and exports, and you should not expect China to upset one of its land neighbors for just couples of dollars, also China won't ruin its almost century old close relationship with a neighbor just to please another country. so please don't drag China into your feud with MM. You guys better try to settle it by yourselves.

Thats true.
Difference here is that Mayanmar is severely damaging national interest of a China-friendly country: Bangladesh.

Russia and India are good friends and 90% of India's weapons were bought from Russia, but China doesn't see their brotherhood damage the close relationship bwt China and Russia, every country has their own interest to look after, true friends never ask others to sacrifice interests for their own.

Then it should be no problem for China if Bangladesh seeks closer cooperation with USA. Why is then Chinese ambassador reacting negatively?

But, China as any other country won't sacrifice its all important national security interest for the sake of the amicable relationship with BD, BDs shouldn't ask China to do that unreasonable request either. BD and MM should solve the two countries' differences by themselves.

Becos QUAD is anti-China, so BD is ready to get in bed with QUAD and be used as a pawn by the US and India against China ?

And Mayanmar is acting anti-Bangladesh. Was it not for Chinese protection, it would have been straitened by the US and its allies long ago.

Its completeley OK with China acting according to its national interest, and Bangladesh acting according to its national interest. Concerning Myanmar, those two interests are diametrecally opposed to one another.

I don't see any negative if BD has good relations with US, Pakistan also had good relations with US for the most part of its history but it didn't stop Pakistan being a good friend of China's too. We are not jealous Americans, China is a business oriented nation, nothing like domination oriented US.
