The Colombo Port City (CPC) is the second Gambit of China\u2019s BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) to expand its Economic Horizons into Asia, Middle East, Africa and East-Europe., and so far so good. The BRI is the Brain Child of China\u2019s President Xi Jinping a rising Star of exceptional calibre, not seen before in\u00a0 the Asia Pacific Region.\u00a0 The BRI Concept of President Xi was initially spoken by him in the Caspian region in 2013 and subsequently in Indonesia and then in early 2014 when our Foreign Minister\u00a0 went to China to obtain its support for the UNCHR Resolution that was coming up in Geneva late March 2014\u00a0\u00a0 President Xi requested our support for China\u2019s BRI and this was conveyed to our President at that time Mahinda Rajapakse an Alumni of Thurstan College, Colombo\u00a0 who took it up with both hands having put much required Economic and Social infrastructure in place after the end of the long debacle with LTTE in May 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The\u00a0 China Seas have been a major impediment to all Major Economic Powerhouses like Japan and South Korea and without any doubt also to Mainland China. The China Seas provides \u00a0a very busy Maritime Highway in the Asia Pacific Region \u00a0with criss-crossing lanes serving the Logistic needs of so many countries and even after the rise of China to the status of a Manufacturing Power House of the World, the United Nations Convention for the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) did not think it necessary to address the concerns of China \u00a0even with a \u201cCode of Conduct\u201d to be followed which could have cushioned the assertiveness of China to a lesser degree as perceived today by the West. Looking at the Big Picture of the Asian Century that is looking more opaque Post Covid-19,\u00a0 is that China is emerging as the Superpower of the Asia Pacific having pitched its first Gambit in the Hambantota Port of Sri Lanka., and its second Chessboard Move the Port City in Colombo. The third Move\u00a0 in all probability could be the \u201c Game Changer\u201d \u00a0for the IOR making appropriate use of all the 6 Ports of Sri Lanka(KKS, Trinco,Oruvil,Hambantota, Galle and Colombo).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">As President of China Xi Jinping sees the New World Order unfolding with its BRI,\u00a0 both Hong Kong and Singapore would not be playing a major roles in it. Hong Kong is Logistically not in Xi\u2019s \u00a0New Maritime Silk Route(NMSR), \u00a0and Singapore its most irritant\u00a0 \u2018Chokepoint\u2019 controlled by the US Pacific Command \/ UK South East Asia Command dominating the Straits of Malacca. Singapore which is singularly Pro-West\u00a0 even accommodates a US Military Base that moved there from the Subic Bay of the Philippines. Xi Jinping envisages that\u00a0 the CPC will eventually replace HK as a \u00a0\u2018Financial Centre\u2019\u00a0 and also become a \u201c Commercial Centre\u201d \u00a0for South Asia what Singapore is presently for South East Asia. Singapore was in fact upbeat when \u00a0Colombo was to become a \u2018Majestic City\u2019 during the Heyday of the \u201cYahapalanaya Era\u201d between 2015-20. With China now \u2018Ruling the Waves\u2019 of the International Sea Lane in the IOR which is exactly similar to what Britain did after the Capture of Ceylon (1815) . Ceylon was the Jewel\u00a0 of the British Empire that PM Winston Churchill thought most vital to it during WW2 and even proved to be the turning points of the Japanese Navy. \u00a0With an Uncertain World of today with Climate Change dominating World Affairs no \u2018Crystal Ball\u2019 could see beyond 2060 and that goes even in CHINA with its Zero Emissions Target. The Big Task now is to get the Commission in place to implement the CPC Bill and therefore its Foundations have to be Solid. \u00a0The success of Singapore as a Commercial Hub was quintessentially \u00a0due the efforts of the poor Londoner Sir Stamford Raffles who secured the island of Singapore in 1819 for his employer the EAST INDIA COMPANY with an independent Vision to drive it as the Entrepot between India and China. \u00a0In November 2013\u00a0 attending the Commonwealth Business Forum as an Australian Delegate and participating in the last meeting of the 3 day programme which was\u00a0 titled \u201cStrengthening National Economies through Global Business and Trade\u201d and Chaired by Razik Zarook, Chairman of the BOC with 3 other panellists, one of which was the Trade Envoy of the British PM\u00a0 and today he is the driving force of the Business Avatar, the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) an IDEAL \u00a0fit for the Colombo Port City. In my\u00a0 opinion the \u2018Temasek Model\u2019 seems fine but let us \u00a0not forget that it has the CASH COW (providing Refined Crude oil on a grand scale for the Region) feeding it and Singapore today has Total RESERVES of at least US$ One TRILLION., and also a Brilliant Tamil Sri Lankan (whom I met in Melb. at a BIO Seminar in 2002 as its Chairman) also with them. \u00a0All the best Sri Lankan enterprises such as the JV\u2019s of SL Airways with Emirates, Telecom\/Mobitel of Telstra and the P &amp; O Gateway Container Terminal with John Keells were \u00a0all from Australia and who was \u00a0the Back-Room Operator in all three is an Unknown to date?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The \u00a0\u201cRelics of the Orient\u201d which is the \u2018Alms Bowl\u2019 carried by the ascetic Gautama BUDDHA which was Gifted to China by us when they were ruled by a Mongolian King in the \u00a013<sup>th<\/sup> Century and today in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century the Colombo Port City could be considered a Serendipitous Moment \u00a0for both Sri Lanka and China, to experience a shared Economic destiny of \u00a0the Port City till the lease expires like what HK did with Britain up to 1997.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">May the Triple Gem Bless my
