There have been concerns on how Chinese presence in Sri Lanka puts the stability of the Indian Ocean at risk
A slew of petitions have been filed in the Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court, raising concerns on how the country’s sovereignty is under threat from China. All these petitions converge on the Colombo Port City Project along with the powers conferred to China for its construction.
As the petitions over this port were being reviewed in the country s top court, a vessel en route China docked at the Hambantota port on Tuesday. The vessel was carrying radioactive material. The Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka was leased to China in 2017 for a period of 99 years.
