Colombo, Sep 23 (Daily Mirror) - Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated and extended best wishes to newly elected President Anura Kumara Dissanayake on behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people.

China and Sri Lanka are traditional friendly neighbors. Over the past 67 years since our two countries established diplomatic relations, both sides have been lending mutual understanding and support to each other, setting a fine example of friendly coexistence and mutually beneficial cooperation between countries of different sizes. I attach great importance to the development of China-Sri Lanka relations and stand ready to work with you to jointly carry forward our traditional friendship, consolidate political mutual trust, and achieve more fruitful outcomes in high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, so as to advance the sustained and steady growth of the China-Sri Lanka strategic cooperative partnership based on sincere mutual assistance and everlasting friendship, bringing more benefits to the two peoples, Xi Jinping said in a letter to the President.

Now let's see if they could use the communist brotherly sentiments to cancel the massive loans owed to China.

Thank you your Excellency. The vast majority of Sri Lankans in and out of Sri Lanka echo your kind words and we all hope that this new President Anura Kumara Dissanayake's Government will further improve and refresh the ties between PRC and the Chinese people as well as The Soviet Republic, whilst keeping a watchful eye to thwart surreptitious destabilisation attempts by other nations, posing off as supposed 'friends'. This appears to be an ongoing problem Sri Lanka has faced over decades and has recently become much worse. Such actions must be sought out and kept at bay..

In great communist solidarity and brotherhood, rich China will forgive several billion in debt to socialist Sri Lanka, which has fallen into poverty, in a generous gesture! The Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party announced this today! The debt forgiveness is seen as a gift to the victor of the presidency, Anura Kumara, and as the start of a better socialist future for the country! China has also committed to refraining from taking any bribes in the restructuring of the good trade relations and thus making an effective contribution to the active anti-corruption policy of the new president! China is hereby providing a starting aid and at the same time making a major contribution to the traditionally good relations between the two countries! A message along these lines from XI Jinping to Anura Kumara would be a real sign of the China-Sri Lanka relationship!!!

Dear president of PRC,Hon. Xi, We, citizens of SriLankan leading a very miserable life due to corruption and mismanagement of past regimes of this country, they used some unscrupulous Chinese enterprises and banks to do such treacherous activities assuming that can maintain as secret for ever, when consider the current lives of SriLankans, those dealings are ‘crimes against humanity ‘, dear comrade, please give your word to present SriLankan government to relieve all details of such dealings, that undertaking along,will bring our friendship to its highest

As a goodwill gesture China must forgive all debts owed to it by Sri Lanka. We know you are the master and we are the slave. Thanks for reminding us anyway.
