Sri Lanka, is another smaller nation ensnared in the Indo-Pacific web that includes big spiders China and India, among others.

Rajapaksa courted China during his previous term and got billions in kickbacks for handing over the Colombo port city contract to the Chinese firm. That port now has been taken over by China.
But during times of difficulty Sri Lanka is looking up to India to provide help. Rajapaksa has cleverly played one against the other and sold off his country to China, so it would be apt if Lankans kick him out.

@evilbudda.
china stopped the genocide. The current problems are related to American war on Russia destroying the world economy, especially for third world countries.

Sri Lank sold their souls to China. Nobody is crying for them now.

That genocide the Sri Lankan government did to those Tamil tigers a few years ago solved nothing. Are they going to try to stir up more oppression and unrest again?

Has been for a long time. When Duran Duran made some videos for their famous album 'Rio', two of them were filmed in Sri Lanka - 'Hungry Like the Wolf' and 'Save a Prayer'. That was done either in 1981 or 1982. Shortly after that, all hell broke loose in Sri Lanka. The nation erupted in a brutal civil war with abuses on both sides, it didn't end until around 2009 (?) and that itself concluded with total massacres and genocide. And now this. Sad.
