Be part of it or wither away
BELT AND ROAD IN THE PACIFIC
OCEAN
This
book was published when Mahinda Rajapaksa was president of Sri Lanka but now
Gotabaya Rajapaksa has been elected president by a landslide result it is
getting particularly hot and to the point, because the five lost years from
2015 to 2020 can be repaired and pushed aside. Sri Lanka and the Indian Ocean
are more than ever the center of the world's maritime commerce and those who
will not be there in due time will be the losers. Europe is well-positioned to
be present but the USA are not and there is no alternative that could make the
US great again in the Indian Ocean, except if they want to be the military
gendarme if not colonizer of this ocean. Some may think or dream about this,
and they will have a very painful awakening with some political and economic
hangover. They should prepare their magic potion with Alka Selzer and
other sobering substances.
