A controversial Chinese ship is spotted in Sri Lanka

Colombo 16 August : The controversies surrounding a Chinese vessel with ballistic missiles and satellite tracking capabilities that was delayed and deferred on the demand of Sri Lanka arrived on Tuesday at the islands Hambantota port, which is managed by Beijing.

However, on the 13th of August it was approved by the Sri Lankan government after Beijing raised the strongest opposition.China claimed that India Sri Lankas most close neighbor who has supported Sri Lanka in the aftermath of the current economic downturn by providing 4 billion dollars in financial aid was the one responsible for preventing the entry of the ship.

Indicating India, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin had earlier said that it was "completely unjustified for some countries to use the term "security concerns" to press Sri Lanka".However, India denied Chinas claims "We absolutely reject the insinuation and similar statement about India.

Sri Lanka is a sovereign country that makes their own autonomous decisions,"Indias Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi said.Following Sri Lanka cleared the Yuan Wang 5 to dock at the Hambantota port between August 16 and 22 on August 16, the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Colombo stated that this was because Sri Lanka "engaged in extensive consultations at an upper level through diplomatic channels with all parties involved" and sought "further information and materials".sfl/ .
