Sri Lankan government under pressure from India-China stand
Now it is clear from the stand of the Chinese ambassador in Colombo that Dragon is not ready to bow down on this issue. Until a day or two ago, China’s Yuang Wang-5 spy ship was in the Taiwan Strait, from where it has now reached near Indonesia. Obviously Yuang Wang-5 has become a headache for the Ranil Wickremesingh government. Even many opposition leaders in Sri Lanka are against allowing it to anchor at the Hambantota port. He says that Colombo has continuously assured the Indian government that Sri Lanka will not allow any activity that threatens its internal security from its territory. In such a situation, now that the Chinese spy ship is anchoring in Hambantota, it is only a matter of threat to India’s security.

Jaishankar also expressed concern
Significantly, during the ASEAN meeting, Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had conveyed India’s concern to his Sri Lankan counterpart Ali Sabri about the Chinese spy ship in Cambodia. India had said that Hambantota is near the South Indian coast and the Chinese spy vessel can anchor there and collect sensitive information from the point of view of India’s security. Although China has been calling it research and research rather than a spy vessel. It is a different matter that the Yuang Wang-5, thanks to its huge antenna and sensors, can very easily spy on Indian shores and collect sensitive information. At present, the developments are getting complicated due to India’s objection, Sri Lanka’s insistence and Dragon’s obstinate stand. It is worth noting that in 2014 also the Sri Lankan government had allowed China’s nuclear powered submarine to stop at its port. Even after that, there was tension in the bilateral relations of Colombo-New Delhi.
