US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that China has brought bad deals and lawlessness to Sri Lanka. He made the latest attack on China yesterday after talks with Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa on security cooperation to keep vital Indian Ocean sea lanes just
south of Sri Lanka open.
Pompeo arrived in Sri Lanka from India as part of a four-leg tour aimed at bolstering allies against China’s increasing political and military inroads in the region in recent years.
