Pentagon asked to expand maritime security to include Bangladesh

[Homo Sapiens]

What's that influence China hold in Bangladesh that India immediately needs to deflect?

We don't know, but it must be serious one perceived by the Indian govt. That's why they gave us 5 billion dollar loan very quickly with a lot of huff and puff.Perhaps Indian policy makers are too paranoid?

We will start to worry when China becomes a strategic ally, with a full blown air/naval base.
Until then nothing can worry us much, if you buy some Chinese toys, fine then.

About the aid part, Bhutan receives largest Chunk of our aid, that's not because of China. Aid is a goodwill gesture.
Bangla's contribute to our economy if you know what I mean. So, 5 billion (if it exist) is a shot which can kill many birds.

Bangladesh stays out of China camp is an Indian interest...

What are you going to do being in "China camp" ?
The Chinese do not buy anything from you. They do not allow Bangladeshi immigrants to settle in their country.

Indian lobby do not control the foreign policy of US. Indian lobby acts in India's interest, not for you lot.

It's full of India's interest. India is too much worried about the Chinese influence in bd, myanmar and srilanka .don't act like you don't know it.

Our export to China is almost $1billion now. And with the Chinese SEZs coming online, Chinese investments and imports from Bangladesh will rise further.

Export to USA won't rise any further due to the suspension of GSP facilities, so we are looking at other markets, particularly in the East. And with China set to become the largest global consumer, it will become one of the largest export markets for us.

Are you comparing the Chinese market with the entire West? lol.

China is fast transforming into a consumer-based economy from an export-based economy. They are relocating their industries to other countries due to high labor costs and obviously Bangladesh has huge potential to grab a good share of it.

Buying few subs? That's a business deal boy. We bought subs from Russia and nobody seems to give a flying F** about it.

Why do not you ask your PM and Parikar why they are so opposed to our purchase of submarines from China instead of comparing your own purchase with ours in this Forum? India wants supremacy. It does not want to be surrounded by antagonists from all sides. As such, it is against militarization of BD.

Bangladesh already exported billion dollar this fiscal with a growth rate of 17%. Count on this.

Try to develop like China...

The Chinese do not buy anything from you.

If I'm not wrong our exports to China is getting bigger with two digit growth rate... (cant provide source now, I'm on mobile with very limited data)

They do not allow Bangladeshi immigrants to settle in their country.

That's why China is the best country for Bangladesh to learn developments. China will not drain our brain like others...
