Iziseko zophuhliso ezikhulisa ukukhula zibeka ityala kwiBeijing ngenxa yokusilela kwamatyala, batsho abahlalutyi
Iiprojekthi ezenziwe phantsi kwe-Belt and Road Initiative ecetywayo yiTshayina ziphucule uphuhliso lwezoqoqosho lwaseSri Lanka, impumelelo yazo izalisekisa amabango obuxoki okuba olu ncedo lubambisa amazwe anetyala elikhulu, batsho abahlalutyi.
Ngokuchasene nebali elisasazwa ngabagxeki baseBeijing ngento ebizwa ngokuba ngumgibe wamatyala, uncedo lwaseTshayina luye lwaba ngumqhubi wokukhula koqoqosho lwexesha elide lwamazwe athatha inxaxheba kwi-BRI, batsho abahlalutyi. ESri Lanka, iiprojekthi zeColombo Port City kunye neHambantota Port, kunye nokwakhiwa kweSouthern Expressway, ziphakathi kwemisebenzi emikhulu enxulumene nenkqubo yokukhulisa iziseko zophuhliso.
Izibuko laseColombo libekwe kwindawo yama-22 kuluhlu lweendawo zokungenisa impahla kwihlabathi liphela kulo nyaka. Libonise ukukhula kwe-6% kumthamo wempahla ephathwayo, ukuya kuthi ga kwi-7.25 yezigidi zeemitha ezilingana ngo-2021, ngokutsho kweendaba yiSri Lanka Ports Authority ngoMvulo.
Intloko yegunya leechweba, uPrasantha Jayamanna, uxelele iDaily FT, iphephandaba laseSri Lanka, ukuba ukwanda kwemisebenzi kuyakhuthaza, kwaye uMongameli uGotabaya Rajapaksa uthe ufuna ichweba lingene kwi-15 ephezulu kuluhlu lwehlabathi ngo-2025.
IColombo Port City icingelwa njengendawo ephambili yokuhlala, ukuthengisa kunye noshishino eMzantsi Asia, kunye neChina Harbour Engineering Company eyenza imisebenzi, kuquka nesiqithi esenziwe ngokwenziwa.
“Lo mhlaba ubuyiselweyo unika iSri Lanka ithuba lokuzoba kwakhona imephu nokwakha isixeko esikumgangatho wehlabathi kunye nokusebenza kakuhle kunye nokukhuphisana neDubai okanye neSingapore,” uxelele abezindaba uSaliya Wickramasuriya, ilungu leKhomishini yezoQoqosho yeSixeko saseColombo Port.
Inzuzo enkulu
Ngokuphathelele iHambantota Port, ukusondela kwayo kwiindlela ezinkulu zaselwandle kuthetha ukuba yinzuzo enkulu kule projekthi.
INkulumbuso yaseSri Lanka uMahinda Rajapaksa ubulele iTshayina "ngenkxaso yayo yexesha elide nenkulu kuphuhliso lwezoqoqosho nentlalo yeli lizwe".
Njengoko eli lizwe lifuna ukuphinda libuyele kwimeko yalo bhubhane, abagxeki baseTshayina baphinde bathi iSri Lanka ijongene nemali mboleko ebiza kakhulu, abanye besithi le misebenzi incediswa yiTshayina yimeko embi kakhulu.
USirimal Abeyratne, uprofesa wezoqoqosho kwiYunivesithi yaseColombo, uxelele iChina Daily ukuba iSri Lanka yavula imakethi yayo yeebhondi kutyalo-mali lwangaphandle ngo-2007, kwaye malunga nexesha elifanayo yaqala ukuboleka imali mboleko, "engenanto yakwenza nemali mboleko yaseTshayina".
I-China ifumene i-10% yamatyala angaphandle elizwe lesiqithi i-$35 yeebhiliyoni ngo-Epreli 2021, ngokutsho kwedatha evela kwiSebe leMithombo yangaphandle laseSri Lanka, kunye neJapan nayo ifumene i-10%. I-China ngumbolekisi wesine ngobukhulu eSri Lanka, emva kweemarike zemali zamazwe ngamazwe, iBhanki yoPhuhliso lwase-Asia kunye neJapan.
Inyaniso yokuba iTshayina ichazwe kakhulu kwingxelo yabagxeki malunga nomgibe wamatyala ibonisa indlela abazama ngayo ukugxeka iiprojekthi zaseTshayina kunye ne-BRI kummandla we-Asia-Pacific, utshilo uWang Peng, umphandi kwiZiko leZifundo zaseMelika kwiYunivesithi yeZhejiang International Studies.
Ngokutsho kweBhanki yeHlabathi kunye neNgxowa-mali yeHlabathi, ilizwe lidlula uphawu lomngcipheko ukuba ityala lalo langaphandle lidlula ama-40 ekhulwini emveliso iyonke yasekhaya.
“Ubuchule beSri Lanka bokukhula njenge-logistics yengingqi kunye nendawo yokuthumela imithwalo ukuze ifumane iingenelo ze-BRI bugqanyiswe kakhulu,” uSamitha Hettige, umcebisi kwiKhomishini yeSizwe yeMfundo yaseSri Lanka, ubhale kwingxelo kwiCeylon Today.
