So Now you are happy with economic ties with China and now the deals that are made with China are legitimate. When MR developed the south it was a white elephant who has now turned black. And when MR was developing the country it was not going to be profitable for the country but now they will be profitable for Sri Lanka and China. Did you not know that China will not make any deals if it will not be profitable for China. Please do not display your ignorance and think that all Sri Lankans are ignorant.
