Sri Lanka Cheating India and Tamils yet again

from where do you get such nonsense?

The China card currently is non -existent since China has no naval assets for power projection in the Indian Ocean.

If any time in the future Sir Lanka plays the China card , they would be inviting American response, considering the proximity of Diego Garcia.

If India continues on pursuing its unrealistic dream of 'regional supremacy' while at the cost of it's neighbors, I'm sure China will find open doors in Indian Ocean for its "naval assets for power projection".

After all, Indian Ocean, as said by some Indian politician, is an "interest shared by global community".

No offence but you are decades away from having Naval Projection in Indian Ocean. Also you are forgetting that India is only the #2 Naval power in IO..the first being the USN with their base in Diego Garcia.

It's going to take China a while before power projection in the Indian Ocean happens until then it should look after and influence it's pearl sri lanka.

The seven seas of the world are linked and our ships are free to sail anywhere they want to.

Sure, so does every Navy worth its salt. Hell, even the weak Iranian Navy sailed all the way upto Atlantic Ocean. But to have a base is alltogether different matter.

Oh my dear friend. You don't have worry about finding a base for our navy. We'll handle it well.

China is in for a long time before it has a blue water navy to project in the Indian Ocean thats the bottom line until then you might want to protect your pearl sri lanka from the hordes of tamils trying to get it.

That's cops job not the Navy's.

I'm no supporter for foreign naval base in Sri Lanka. But Chinese are already directly involved in mega port projects. Over 80% of shares of new Colombo port belongs to China, more recently they Chinese mentioned they are going to invest 50 billion in Hambantota port city project.
They are commercially doing their influences in SL. Some people thinks Hambantota will be Chinese naval base etc but I don't think it will. Most suitable place for Chinese naval base is Trinco port. India knows it, that's why they suddenly wanted to have coal power plant in that area. (Not yet started.) But Chinese are involved in infrastructure projects in this area, I think they are slowly moving to their target.

Unless you find some ways to make artificial islands, your dream of base in IO will remain a dream.

Whether or not to run a naval base in the Indian Ocean is totally depends on the need.

If China's commercial line is threatened by pirates, we send out anti-pirate squads to Somalian coast. But if there is higher level of threats, permanent naval presence and power projection capability as the solution will be justified for sure.
