About half of this interview article published on the 5th is aimed at China. The US ambassador to Sri Lanka claimed that “over 60% of China’s “Belt and Road” initiative is allocated to Chinese companies, and the bidding process is opaque. Teplitz also called for attention to "China's actions in the South China Sea" because "this undermines the sovereignty of countries in the region and endangers the livelihoods of those who fish for a living." It is worth noting that this interview magazine The time it came out coincided with the upcoming "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" (Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or Quad) meeting attended by the foreign ministers of the United States, Japan, India and Australia. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on the 6th that in the context of continuing tensions in US-China relations, Washington has accelerated the deployment of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy". The so-called "Four-Party Security Dialogue" of the so-called "Little Asian NATO" is the latest to prevent blocking China. One of the diplomatic strategies.


"We are shocked and strongly dissatisfied with the third country's envoys publicly provoking Sino-Sri Lanka relations!" The Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka issued a statement on the same day that the US ambassador to Sri Lanka was interviewed by Sri Lanka's "Daily Mirror" to deliberately provoke and interfere in Sino-Sri Lanka relations. To clarify and strongly condemn, the statement stated that both China and Sri Lanka are sovereign and independent countries and have the right to develop relations with other countries according to their own needs and wishes. The United States does not need to "guide" Sino-Sri Lanka relations, nor does it believe that the United States has such qualifications. . "The performance of China in Sri Lanka has long been repeatedly tested by history. The Sri Lankan government and people will have their own independent judgment and fair evaluation. It is no longer news that the United States will interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and it will interfere in other countries' diplomacy this time. This behavior is another manifestation of the US's hegemonism and power politics in international relations. The Chinese people will never accept it, and I believe the Sri Lankan people will not accept it either."


The Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka stated: “We urge the US to get rid of the bad habit of finger-pointing and double standards as soon as possible. Don’t discredit other countries’ defense work while the epidemic is the worst in the world, and don’t violate World Trade Organization rulings. At the same time, talk about free trade. Don’t slander other countries’ normal economic and trade while bombing other countries, setting up military bases everywhere, and imposing unilateral sanctions while the intention of challenging the company’s agreement in the millennium is unclear. Cooperation to violate sovereignty, this clown approach will only further undermine the already precarious international image of the United States."
