Welcome![edit]
Hello, Oppo48, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Debt-trap diplomacy does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!

- @Kautilya3 Removing well sourced facts and adding in opinion pieces, is the opposite of NPOV. But do what you got to do lmao. XD
What's not neutral is constantly putting in an opinion piece which in itself, strongly mislead the readers. We both know that Sri Lanka debt crisis was mainly due to western dominated lending markets and not Chinese loans. As that fact is confirmed by multiple sources.

Your opinion piece omits such information in such a manipulative way that readers won't be able to know it and it makes it seem Sri Lanka got into debt mostly by China alone. That's wrong and not neutral.
Sri Lanka’s debt vulnerability preceded and was unconnected to Chinese lending, casting doubt on the idea that China purposefully created Sri Lanka’s debt problem. The problem is the consequence of excessive borrowing from Western-dominated capital markets and Sri Lanka’s structural economic problems.
You cannot remove facts and then add in opinion pieces that flat out contradicts the verified facts. You want to pretend that the port is not economically feasible despite many sources say that the port has been performing well since 2017. Even the most anti china Indian Media is acknowledging that things have changed in just a short time after the port has new management. Your Chellaney's opinion piece claiming It's an economic dud, is just another incorrect statement contradicted by reality yet again. Because the port feasibility study wasn't wrong as there is huge advantages due to geography. ;)
One year after Hambantota International Port (HIP) came under its new management, the port focused on roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) operations and doubled its business, with a 136 per cent increase in the volume of ro-ro vessels handled by the operational staff. The HIP has since diversified its services to include other port-related activities such as container Handling, General Cargo, Passenger, Bunkering, Bulk Terminal, and Gas at initial stages.
What has changed The geographic positioning The geographic positioning of HIP provides advantages not just for the shipping industry but also for import/export business in general, coupled with experienced handling to ship or transship finished goods to almost any destination in the region, as the port can offer comparatively shorter timelines with just six to 10 nautical miles (19km) to the world’s busiest maritime route between the Malacca Straits and the Suez Canal linking Asia and Europe.
In the past covid year, the Port has done very well.. Chellaney will be embarassed when he is proven wrong yet again when the port continues to grow and do well. So go ahead and add it in. I won't stop you. ;) Oppo48 (talk) 13:14, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]
Hello Oppo48! Your additions to Belt and Road Initiative have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing.

Blocked as a sockpuppet[edit]
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. GeneralNotability (talk) 01:07, 21 December 2021 (UTC)- You know who else is my sock by your standard? Lowy institute, Deborah Bräutigam, Chatham house because they also say the very same thing as me. And for good reason.. they did their research and their work is very public and many people heard of them. I figured the only reason you are lying is because you cannot dispute the info I added in. You are overreaching. If I didn't know any better, I say that Nvtuil is a MI6 agent or system who adds in real information and socks. So anyone who now adds in perfectly valid information, can now be blocked.
My issue was that the article previously made it seem like Sri Lanka leased a port after unable to pay off Chinese loans. But that's misleading. Their debt crisis was unrelated to Chinese loans and had more to do with excessive westerns borrowings and poor domestic policies. That same information is repeated publicly by Lowly Institute [1] and Chatham house [2] yet the person who reported me, was claiming otherwise. Lowly Institute and Chatham house explained that Chinese debt only made up a relatively tiny portion of the overall Debt and Sri Lanka wasn't forced, but instead solicited China to lease its port. Also the money wasn't used to pay Chinese loans but to other creditors. I added that context in.
If K didn't know any better, I strongly suspect MI6 has successfully corrupted the system in that anyone from any country, cannot add in the edits I tried to add in. That's alarming to freedom of information.
