Sri Lanka defends China presence in Indian Ocean

[deepak.chauhan2312]

Totol nonsense。

China is NOT claiming the whole of the South China Sea。It is claiming most of the Islands and Reefs in the SCS， for China was the FIRST country which discovered、named and made use of those islands and reefs。

now you are talking non sense...in what world this happens...you named the ocean so whole ocean is yours...god bless your country sir ..china have a whole new idea of water bordering and who says that where you worked or named in past must be your territory now.

 

[deepak.chauhan2312]

Yet India can‘t deal with the Maldives。

China is taking on Japan nicely，for the latter has lost the working control of Diaoyu Islands since the illegal transfer of owership。

Nest Japan will be forced to acknowledge the existence of sovereignty dispute on the Islands。Then。。。

Step by step。Steady as it goes。

i think China is underestimating Japan or other small countries...Japan have a huge support from USA and Europe. and i think China is not enough for USA and europe. japan have better forign relations and somehow that does matter at time of disputes

Don't cuss me for calling a spade a spade. There is widespread sympathy for the Tigers in TN - the reason that Rajiv Gandhi assassins are still alive. There are also radical elements present in the refugee camps in Tamil Nadu.

I merely suggest, providing a military medium for expression of this angst in a manner that benefits India.

Calls for the "right-thing-to-do" and morality do little to dent the strategic advantages of such an initiative.

Can you quantify how widespread? TN is going through period of economic growth and people over there have tasted success. So let us progress at peace. Leave us out from your strategic plans. Enough of this BS.

If India wants to do something, come up with some sort of a doctrine where you draw the line for the countries around you(borrowing it from @ajtr - come up with a Monroe doctrine or something) - Why do you need to spend more than $30 billion for the military if you do not have a hawkish foreign policy for smaller states around India?

"Indian" Ocean means not India's ocean, it's just a naming. Every country has a right in the international waters, so China do have right to be there.

we knows China have right but how can you talk about rights of a country whICH doesn't believe in other's rights in SCS

The title is massaging ego of few low on intellect day dreamers, but content is speaking about regional rationalities.

Uncalled for mouthing when we Indians have been cooperating with SL for ages. False flag Pakistanis from Rupee news desk at work ?

BTW Bum licking award of the day goes to you.

Now get this right away.

Sinhalese, coconuts dwellers should know it very clearly, Indian ocean is India's, fish in your waters and don't try to poke your nose in rest of the IOR. If you think this is not fair then give the same lecture to Chinese claiming SCS.

If you think China or anyone else be able to save your Island then think about the time when Chinese boats will be empty of rockets and sunk before crossing straights of Malacca and your nation will burn for many months without a break.

India needs to fuel the LTTE once again. The angst of people in Tamil Nadu, Tamil diaspora and the locals in north eastern parts of SL needs to be exploited to present a potent security threat to the island nation while assuring India of plausible deniability.

China has deeper pockets and India cannot afford to offer better incentives to ensure that SL befriends India. What we can do however, is create a DIS-INCENTIVE for not cooperating with India.

New found, post war confidence, needs to be quashed. India's presence needs to be maintained.

you will loose the bit of support that you had from Sri Lanka and you can't afford another neighbour turning 100% pro-china.

Supporting one more terrorist organization is wrong - Having stated that, SL can't afford to turn 100% pro-China and provide a base to her. Take the example in 1980s - when the LTTE issue was at peak, SL wanted to provide a base for US in Trincomalee - Rajiv did an Operation Poolamalai and Jayawardane(then SL president) panicked and came to Delhi to sign the SL accord.

India only need to have a strong leader at the helm and the political will - not MMS.

 

[HeinzG]

But that does not mean your can carryout Anti-India activities in the ocean close to India!

We have the right to do it and India has the right to stop it if they can.

I condemn this racist behavior. Sinhalese are hard working folks and have made their mark internationally on every field. As a Pakistani I am proud of the links we share with our Sinhalese brothers .

The same links you shared with your Bengali brothers when Operation Searchlight was launched ?

Tamils were cannon fodder for North India's foreign policy. Every unbiased observer knows that. Time to wake up to shining India my friend. Looks like Tamil youth is about to be employed again.

Tamilians are better off in India. Any central politican can't do anything unless the Tamil politicians agree to something because of Coalition politics. Katchatheevu was because of the traitor - Karunanidhi - else Indira wouldn't have been able to do anything. Again India's support for SL in the SL war was because the same traitor kept quiet as his family was looting India through the 2G scam. Tamilnadu is shining after the market opened up in 1990s in India. Tamil youths are better employed in IT industry and car industry. They do not need this crap.

This statement ends the discussion, rest is just hormones

Actually, Muhajirs are our cannon fodder for North India's foreign policy. They have been successfully employed, and the results are obvious in Karachi.
