Following the swearing in of Kurunegala MP Mahinda Rajapaksa as Sri lanka's Prime Minister in what can only be described as a political coup the Chinese ambassador to Sri Lanka visited him at his official residence to congratulate Rajapaksa yesterday at his Wijerama residence.
How ever the same evening he visited Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe at Temple Trees and assured the Chinese governments continues support to him and his government. He even requested Wickramasinghe to carry out his duties as the PM of Sri Lanka.
Many political commentators online have been commenting on the duplicity of the Chinese through this move to appease both fractions.
