The Chinese establishment was completely perplexed as Hillary Clinton had used the term Silk Road to explain the ‘US policy’. They considered as if they were being robbed of their history of more than 2000 years which signified their commercial ties with the outside world and provided a lifeline to Chinese economy.

This network of trade routes had been in use since 130 BC but came to an abrupt end in 1453 AD as the Ottoman empire boycotted the trade with the west.

    Evolution of China-Sri Lanka Relations

    Evolution of China-Sri Lanka Relations Ms. Gunjan Singh’s research interests include international relations, developments in China and space security. She has pursued her scholarship with various well known think tanks and has authored as well as edited many papers for national and international journals. Presently, she is an Associate Fellow at the VIF, New Delhi. — 2 — Evolution of China-Sri Lanka Relations Evolution of China-Sri Lanka Relations Introduction Over the last ten years China has been paying renewed attention to its ties with Sri Lanka. There has been a large rise in Chinese investments in various projects in Sri Lanka. Beijing has also diplomatically supported Colombo on various issues, especially on charges of human rights violations. In return, Sri Lanka has played an important role in helping China enhance its influence and prestige in the South Asian region. Notably, since taking over as president, Xi Jinping has accorded special focus to this relationship. Xi visited Sri Lanka in September 2014, the first visit by any Chinese President, in 28 years.1 A study of the growing Chinese involvement in Sri Lanka could be divided into two phases. The first would roughly coincide with the end of the Eelam War in May 2009 under President Rajapaksa, to the end of 2014. The next phase would constitute the period from January 2015 when Rajapaksa lost the election and Sirisena assumed the presidency, to till date. The period under Rajapaksa was marked by major initiatives to strengthen the relationship with China. The warmth between China and Sri Lanka grew after 2009 because China was one of the few countries that continued to supply arms and defence equipment to the Sri Lankan Army during its war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

    COMMENT 180 – Sino-Sri Lankan Relations and the Hambantota Port

    COMMENT COMMENT 180 – Sino-Sri Lankan relations and the Hambantota Port By Deshika Elapata 28 April 2020 - ISSN NUMBER: 2406-5617 Deshika Elapata is SADF’s Research Assistant. She graduated with a Master’s Degree in International Relations with a specialisation in Global Conflict in the Modern Era, from the University of Leiden in The Netherlands. Her dissertation focused on the (de) securitization of climate induced migration and the recognition of climate refugees. She obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Science from the University of Tilburg. She joined SADF after an internship at the European Institute for Asian Studies. Debt trap diplomacy? In Sri Lanka, the Hambantota Port project funded and initiated under the - government led by President Mahinda Rajapaksa in 2007, is by far the most salient project. China’s involvement and considerable impacts on the Sri Lankan economy since the 2000s are well documented (Panda, 2014, September; Chaudhury, 2019, December). Thus, and unsurprisingly, Sri Lanka is one of the many recipients of Chinese investment in infrastructure – notably, investment linked to the Belt and Road Initiative which started in 2013. The BRI, deemed – either out of contempt or approval -, a bold development project of our era, was introduced in 2013 by President Xi Jinping’s Government, claiming to promote multidimensional connectivity between China and Asia as well as other regions of the world (Wolf, 2019, p. v). The Hambantota Port project began as part of Sri Lanka’s own developmental plans. Mahinda Rajapaksa was keen on establishing a commercial port in the South of the island as it lay across vital sea lanes.
