I'm starting to get highly sceptical of these massive city-sized prestige projects on developing nations. It just feels like a massive vessel for fraud.

99 year lease? Isn't that Great Britain's trick?

Port City Colombo will be magnificent infrastructure, but ended as Chinese debt trap and it become "another Chinese colony", full of Chinese people and chinese rich businessman while local Sri Lankan people only works as cheap maid or janitor.

In New York and Tokyo they also built new islands, but instead of using rare sand they used their landfill trash to fill it.

I’m not going to lie, I love glass skyscrapers, but this city could have been built anywhere... No local architecture at all.

I'm very against land reclamation. It's acceptable for tiny countries like Monaco or Singapore. But Sri Lanka still has large underdeveloped parts of the island. Why not redirect investments and growth to those parts instead of focusing every development in the capital?

Sri Lanka: 'We don't want our smart people to leave' Smart people: 'my country just sold its capital city to china, i should leave now to protect my families freedom and rights'
