  • Sri Lanka and China partnered up to build a brand new City off the coast of the country. China completely funded this incredible project putting up $1.4 Billion Dollars to get the project going, although it will cost much more to complete the entire project. The new city is being build directly on the ocean floor. A massive artificial island is being constructed to support the city. Since the project began in 2014, there have been many delays and tensions rising between the two countries in charge of this massive project. Sri Lanka thought that having the Chinese assist them in creating this massive city would pay off in the end, when in reality china is taking a large portion of the land available for their own personal gain.
    Dubai started the first artificial island venture in 2001, and China will continue it 20 years later. To learn more about Dubai's man-made islands, click the video here- • Why Dubai's $12 Billio...

    Dubais islands are sinking and they are just in a small sea, imagine Sari Lanka in the Indian Ocean that has Tsunamis.

    You make the Chinese seem like bad guys but Sri Lanka let them do this. What did they expect when the Chinese investment completely on the port city. And the land isn’t really Sri Lankan because it’s artificial and dredged from the ocean. It’s an island made by Chinese. Really if Sri Lanka gets any of it it would be strange. Considering they didn’t pay for any of its construction.

      This video is outdated...
      The Sri Lankan govt. and Chinese govt. clashed after Sri Lanka getting contaminated fertilizers given by China...
      Then Sri Lanka kind of went bankrupt 2 weeks ago ( low foreign reserves ) and India came to help ...
      Sri Lanka kind of tries to stay neutral between China and India after all strong cultural ties with India from people having origins of genetics to religion in India...
      I do feel like India sometimes try to bully the rest of the south Asian nations which backfires us, I'm Indian btw...
      I don't know why we do that but its the government to blame...
      But I hope after the AID given to Sri Lanka from India , our ties would be stronger than ever....

      I think you don't watch NEWS. Sri Lanka is on verge of Economic collapse, due to that Hambantota project. Inflations rates are very high, due to low forex reserves, they don't have enough money to buy essential commodities. There is a humanitarian Crises going on in Sri Lanka, So do you think, these projects funded by China are creating more negative impact on Sri Lanka?

    In India most Coastal Areas in the Southern Areas don't have any High Rises cause the Location is Tsunami occuring areas. It's better to be safe than sorry. Unfortunately it looks like the Government in Sri Lanka completely forgot the Thousand year factor that Sri Lanka sits in a Tsunami prone area. High Rises are better built inland and not in the coasts. Even I wouldn't have some Dubai like Skyscraper in the coasts Considering Climate.

    • @Keepinitreel108

      If a Tsunami hits the whole coast line including the city of Colombo will be affected. So unless you build an inland city no where along the coast is safe including the new city and cities along the coast of India.

    But isn't Manhattan already doing it? Just copy and paste "Land reclamation Manhattan" up top and watch the videos.
    USA: We can do it because we're a democracy. Sri Lanka can't because they're communist.
    Oh well I guess that's a good enough reason to stop another country's development.

    Too early to put a clear answer if it's good or bad. Stating that it only benefits China is quite the contrary, it should help the citizens in Sri Lanka some way, shape or form. Being connected is a good thing, especially the port in the future. In terms of ownership - it's the same as the government owning your land and buying the land is actually being leased for 99 years.
