Bangladesh Rejects China on Teesta Project: A Watershed Moment in South Asian Geopolitics
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has unequivocally expressed her preference for India over China in executing the $1 billion Teesta River development project. This decision not only marks a significant shift in Bangladesh's foreign policy but also exposes the growing skepticism towards the predatory infrastructure initiatives in South Asia. Prime Minister Hasina's recent statements, made shortly after curtailing her Beijing visit, reveal a calculated strategy to distance Bangladesh from China's sphere of influence. "China is ready but I want India to do the project," Hasina declared, effectively slamming the door on China's overtures. This bold stance underscores Bangladesh's growing wariness of China's expansionist agenda and its determination to chart an independent course in regional politics.
