New Chinese envoy: Bangladesh pearl of Bay of Bengal, important in S Asia

[Destranator]

I don't think it is his job to convince CCP to transfer Chinese sunset industry to Bangladesh.

However he can set up effective working dialog between Chinese Business conglomerates and Bangladeshi ones on equipment purchases from China.

Also do business matchmaking so more Bangladeshi value addition (High grade ones) is made attractive to Chinese businesses.

Trade promotion back and forth and liaison with Business Chambers in both countries is what Chinese ambassadors have done well historically.

They also carry and promote the CCP's message to Bangladesh Govt. but usually CCP tends to not get involved in for-profit capital projects unless it is G2G projects of a very large nature, like Padma Bridge or Karnaphuli tunnel.

Outgoing Chinese ambassador His excellency Li Jiming was especially effective at G2G project planning coordination.

To be brutally honest, countries like Vietnam and Thailand have comparative advantage over Bangladesh in attracting Chinese outsourcing due to having better infrastructure, location and skilled labour pool.
We cannot beat them without CCP intervention. The Chinese ambassador has a vital role to play here.
Chinese private corporations cannot overlook CCP directions.

Why the hell would any Pakistanis have a say over Bangladeshi issues?

Are you a bloody jamati shill??!!

He really did let the cat out of the bag, didn’t he?

His unhinged hatred of India now explains itself!!!

US really has no role to play in BD’s development. Other than being an export destination.

And decisions regarding sourcing decided by their corporations not the government.

China and India will increasingly play a greater role and have the greatest influence.

China will help us industrialise. And India will supply the food and raw materials.

From BD’s birth India has had a greater say over Bangladesh than USA.

A country’s govt can only take the horse near the pond, but the horse has to drink itself the water.

The CCP certainly cannot force its industries to relocate in Dhaka. The companies may like to invest in Vietnam.

The GoB has been building a specialized Economic Zone for the Japanese industries. We have to wait to see if the meticulous Japanese relocate their high tech industries here.

Only time can tell the final ouput and imagination has little place here. The Japanese are very hard people unknown to our soft going people of BD. Their Moto is to control schedule, production and efficiency- do or die.

Actually a base in Bangladesh doesn't make a lot of sense For China as Bangladesh is tucked away hundreds of miles from the main shipping lanes.
Sri Lankan or Myanmar ports are more suitable for Chinese military ambitions.

Not exactly. The BOB is a Sea heavily contested among the international and regional powers.

It is not only the possible naval flash point, the powers care more about India-China clashes in contested Arunachal of India.

Whichever power controls the BOB controls also the military affairs in India’s NE. This is the reason that America does not want BD to fall into Chinese traps.

Thanks to Ershad, Zia and his illiterate wife’s unleashing of Madrasa education….

We don’t have the educated people required to run “hi tech” industries.

Be realistic….

Focus on higher value garments exports especially designer brands…

In parallel, get one or two Dhakaya unis into international rankings. Hire Indian lecturers if required!! Shutdown BNP/Jamat Madrasas - replace them with technical colleges.

And maybe by 2030, there will be enough educated people to run hi tech stuff.

Anything else is just wishful Madrasa prayers!!!!

But I rarely see news of Chinese companies (such as automobile manufacturers) building factories in Bangladesh. Who knows why？

Actually they can. In fact, China and Russia are the only two highly industrialised nations with authoritarian/totalitarian governments. The governments in both countries often dictate terms to private companies.

If BD govt idiots can gather the necessary brain cells to negotiate some sort of strategic agreement with these nations (such as guaranteed neutrality in the event of conflict with the West/India), they may be willing to direct their private secondary industries to prioritise Bangladesh as outsourcing destination over countries like Vietnam which are more friendly to the West.

The government can build all the EPZs it wants, the Japanese companies would only invest if they BD offers any comparitive advantage over other developing nations in South and East Asia.
Japanese investment is not মামা বাড়ির আবদার for Bangladesh - Japanese government is democratic hence they cannot force Japanese companies to invest in Bangladesh.

I have repeatedly emphasised upon the need for gradually establishing at least one international standard tradeschool + English Language training institution in each upazilla.
Investors will not invest if we cannot offer tradesmen in sufficient numbers.

It is different from the United States. the CCP rarely interferes in the affairs of private companies. The CCP can only put forward "reference opinions" to state-owned enterprises.

Let's take GWM as an example again. GWM originally wanted to invest and build factories in India. But when it saw the Indian government robbing Xiaomi and Vivo. It changed its mind and went to Pakistan.

GM Fails To Sell Indian Plant To Great Wall For $300 Million | Carscoops

GM's deal with Great Wall fell through due to India's scrutiny of Chinese investments in the country

Obviously this has nothing to do with the CCP's "reference opinion".

Interesting!

I made the exact same suggestion when I first joined few months back.

People countered by saying we already had educated people but BAL were ignoring them and favouring imported Indians instead.

Hahaha

That is so funny!

He has retired. Living in Japan.

This is true. The BD people are soft-going and waste most of their time worrying about things that do not matter. And then we wonder why all our systems suck and why the people have no integrity. Unfortunately this can only be fixed by an emperor and it is too late in history for a would-be emperor to come along and transform the rural masses. BD needed a feudal warring-states era, it would've helped the people develop some character.

But it is a double-edged sword you know that right? Once the people become "hard" and focus on efficiency they start to lose their soul in the process. It is the process of "modernity" and while I desire it for BD, in the long run it is a curse. Because you embrace modernity and then you just become like all the other countries.

Bangladesh playing an irreplaceable role in regional, international affairs, he says

Yes, China is so fond of BD that each and every time it vetoes the Rohingya issue in the UN whenever the decision was in BD's favor. China did not even extend a single Penny in support of Rohingyas sheltered in BD.

China is playing adversary to BD in liaison with Russia. Now, it finds pearls in Dhaka to lure Dhaka into setting up its naval base. It was a good decision that BD did not ask an insincere China to build the proposed deep seaport in Sonadia.
