Sri Lanka: A dream of becoming India’s Hong Kong

[samv]

I have seen the "India's Hong Kong" thing several times before. Most people don't know Sri Lanka's policies

Please stop posting jokes here. Your government has destroyed the Sri Lankan economy, this talk of a "financial city" is good for idiots like you.

Is that an Indian attempt to absorb Sri Lanka?

India thinks it owns every country in South Asia. They are insane.

You're building a financial city so....companies should come up and set up shop there? Singapore succeed because the regional HQ of every major cropration is there attracting best talent. Plus their own education system is excellent for a long time. But guess what...EVEN THEY ARE GONNA TAKE A BEATING. What exactly is your strategy for this market? Don't tell me you have some nice looking buildings and that's it.

Chinese companies will take care of that

It's not exactly a financial city. In the previous government's time it was focused more on the pleasure industry to attract richer folks from India and the surrounding countries, possibly even from middle east. It also housed a F1 track.

yeah...the same chinese companies that want to boot out singapore and develop shanghai as the next singapore? Good luck with that.

I'm saying the palk strait offers a great opportunity to build a true new 'suez' in the east. Once we dredge it and make it navigable, most ships will have to choose that route over going around all of SL. We can have excellent commercial facilities on both sides- TN in India and on the other side in SL for the traffic. As a major port facility it can also service manufacturing on both sides. On this I know both people of TN and SL can agree. TN wants this development real bad while the jokers of the hindu right wing are blocking the 'Ram Sethu' project. If this comes up, it will be the biggest development project in SL's history, a perfect win win.

Good for Srilankans. Hope they succeed

CIFC will cover financial activities in the South Asian region. The CIFC will have its own laws similar to the DIFC acting as an offsore financial center. CIFC is also larger than the DIFC and has more space than the previous Port City due to the SEIA finding and removing environmentally unfriendly projects like f1 tracks and also finding out that certain areas can be extended without negative env effects.

CIFC itself is a part of a bigger project which inculdes Losgistics zones ,Science and Technology and Industrial Zones.

It is also right next to the Central Business District and the Light Rail system is expected to be expanded to the CIFC after its built

Your pathetic government has destroyed Sri Lanka's economy. Your president and prime minister have built nothing since coming to power. Please stop with your bullshit about an international financial city. Sri Lanka is a mess.

Not anymore. The current regime has turned it into India's bitch.

you know building relations with your biggest next door neighbor isn't a bad thing. By your logic Canada should be fighting with USA for no reason at all.

You know, turning your country into vassal state of another is a bad thing. Letting your resources get plundered by Indian thieves on a daily basis ain't that good.

what the hell do you mean vassal state? And what resources have we plundered 'FISH'??? You've got a 2+ trillion economy which will touch 5 T in 7 years and all you can think of is squabbling over FISHERMEN?

Try and use google.

Yes. Fish. Let Pakistanis and Bangladeshis rape your seas with impunity.

If India's economy is so great, why do Indians insist on raping the resources of other countries?

What the hell man. You've got a 2+ trillion economy which will touch 5 T in 7 years and all you can think of is squabbling over FISHERMEN? If this is your mindset then you might as well give up ambitions of becoming HK of south asia and whatnot. India is not offering you cattle economy deals.

Do tell - what exactly has India done to stop its fishermen from plundering Sri Lanka's seas?

How shameful that India has a "2+ trillion economy" and yet insists on raping the resources of much smaller countries.

SL is not going to be any Hong Kong - @Godman 's government has destroyed basically everything.
