God knows activities of CHINA?
Trust me, CHINA has no intention to take care Sri Lanka by making it CHINA own territory, some places of northwest CHINA are far more poor than Sri Lanka or any South Asia countries coz of tough natural conditions, in a word, lack of water!
Chineses are busy making money and friends and would like to share the experience of making money with brother hood countries like PAKISTAN , Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Buthan, Cambodia, Burma, Laos, Thailand, etc.
CHINESE has no interests to colonize any country which means nothing but losing money and reputation while do not help China master the most advanced high technology.
China never regards any country as a threat unless you regard China as yours. We hate the Japanese because the Japanese have invaded China and slaughtered the Chinese, not the other way around.
Those who do not know to share can not be great for long.
I am sure Englishman would have said the same to Mughal Emperor in 1600 when East India Company was established
