Introduction to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an island country with very beautiful scenery. It is located in the Indian Ocean south of the South Asian subcontinent. It has a tropical monsoon climate all year round with no four seasons. Sri Lanka has a total land area of ??65,610 square kilometers and a total population of 21.29 million in 2021.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful island country with rich tourism resources, but it lacks other natural resources. Civil war has continued since the founding of the country, and economic development has been stagnant. Due to over-reliance on tourism, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the COVID-19 epidemic have severely hit Sri Lanka's tourism industry, causing serious inflation and almost completely paralyzing the entire country's economy.

Sri Lanka is currently in the worst economic crisis since its founding in 1948. Private cars are unable to refuel due to fuel shortage, street lights do not work at night in many places in the country, and there is a serious shortage of food and medicine... In view of the above situation, a batch of China's emergency food aid to Sri Lanka arrived at the Colombo International Container Terminal in Sri Lanka on June 28.

The Tamil Tigers were once a cancer in Sri Lanka's national body, causing it to be plagued by civil war for a long time. In 2009, with the help of China, the Sri Lankan government forces completely defeated the LTTE and ended the civil war. Because of its aid to Sri Lanka, China was accused by Western countries of creating a humanitarian crisis and was blamed internationally.
