Though it's not a reliable ally...
Bharat has helped Cash-stripped #SriLankan economy to survive & also in getting loan from #IMF . It also helped #Srilanka to come out of #China 's Debt-trap to some extent. But definitely, THIS TIME, help was not going to be free.

This... Bharat's Counter Strategy is getting materialized successfully.
You can take a look at Map to understand in one go.
In short, #Bharat has developed healthy relations with all Nations in China's Periphery & that too...not through blackmailing, but through Trust.
