Good: China means business. The reason for China to recognise Hasina's government is to compete with India for business and other political influence. However, for the time being this is a good and pragmatic step by China.

Well said. China means business plus political understanding. China knows which government is constructive, development-oriented and has long-term development plans. She also understands which government is actually backward in development works, plans and programmes. In its evaluation, China made the right choice to strengthen the friendship with Bangladesh.

Time for Khaleda Zia to talk and have a good resolution of this crisis. BNP needs to come to the middle before being gobbled up by extreme rights and religious bigots. That is a recipe for becoming a pariah party.

Chinese support is not only a boost for the government; it also reflects BNP's failure even on the diplomatic front.

China and Vietnam -- the bastions of freedom and democracy supported 14 percenter and an unelected majority lead by AL. Very good for Bangladesh, we have bright days ahead.
