More Chinese Ships To Dock At Sri Lanka Coast? Gaurav Sawant Analyzes The Spy Ship Situation

After weeks of controversy, the Chinese survey ship Yuan Wang 5 docked at Sri Lanka's southern Hambantota Port on Tuesday morning.

The arrival of the advanced satellite-tracking vessel for a weeklong stay seemed likely to further entangle the bankrupt island nation in a geopolitical tug of war between China and India, which had protested the visit over security concerns. The Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka was expected to give the ship a grand welcome at the port, controlled by China under a 99-year lease granted in 2017.

The Yuan Wang 5 glided in around 8:30 a.m. local time, a Sri Lankan defense spokesperson confirmed. Hours earlier, India gifted Sri Lanka a maritime surveillance aircraft on Monday, underscoring the competition for influence.
