Beijing was closely keeping a watch on India's response to the Sri Lanka's situation, diplomatic sources said. Expressing concern over the fighting in northern Sri Lanka, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Ms. Zhang Qiyue said that China was against any outside intervention in the strife-torn island nation. Further it was stated that China was of the view that Sri Lankans should handle the situation themselves. "We are very much concerned about the situation in Sri Lanka and are confident that the government and people of the country have the capacity to handle their own questions properly," Ms. Zhang said. The Chinese media have also given wide coverage to India's decision not to send troops to Sri Lanka. However, she did not make any comment when asked whether Sri Lanka had requested military and other assistance from China. Meanwhile, Ven. Ell Gunawansa, a prominent Buddhist chief also called on the government to seek more aid from China to fight the LTTE terrorists. Addressing the meeting of the Sri Lanka Wu Shu Academy at the BMICH, Ven. Gunawansa said that China would be ready and willing to help in a time of grave crisis due to the long-standing ties between the two countries.
