Thank You China, Suggest China will use the 15,000 hectares of land given in Hambontata (south of Sri Lanka) to set up Value Added Export manufacturing zones that buys Lankan raw materials and uses them for Value added exports under the made in Sri Lanka label.

We had 3B US$ deficit with China in 2022. This is about 20% of our total exports. Let's how much RW can earn.

Ram - He meants China will buy more of whatever Sri Lanka is exporting. China is not asking a broke country to buy Chinese exports. Their IQ is not the same as yours.
