Sri Lanka has recently and decisively pivoted toward Beijing as a major partner of the One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative. This is despite Washington’s best efforts to prevent it from doing so. The mechanism of inserting certain memes in the conversation, to my mind, is secondary. Right-Left or even comparing the massacres (New Zealand - Sri Lanka) is a waste of time. Clearly, this may be a motive (BRI). I know Sri-Lanka some. The Moslem population is tiny, under pressure, but not as much as Tamils used to be. There is no reason for this atrocity except perhaps an outside actor wanting to destabilize. Tuppence from me
