SLAF China Bay (IATA: TRR, ICAO: VCCT) is a Sri Lanka Air Force base located at China Bay, Trincomalee. The airbase is situated close to the coast and has a long runway which is believed to be able to handle most modern aircraft. Established by the British as RAF China Bay in the 1920s, the base was attacked by the Japanese during World War II.

It many times feel to me our smaller neighbors wants more India China rivalry than China and India themselves want. Fanboys talk about rivalry and China-India talking about $100 Billion trade and billions of dollar of investment and peaceful talks.

As far as facts goes, it was the same interest from US of A that created LTTE.

Prove me wrong.

And they says history repeats itself.

Sri Lanka is not foolish to provoke India to the point that it invites a hard spanking.

And believe me forget about china no body can save you if you dare.

The Sinhalese are our seed. They trace their origin to our Buddhist Prince Vijaya who was forced out of the land by the Hindu king who had began ethnic cleansing of the Buddhists. We feel very close to SL. FYI, their war hero and a great soldier Gen Sarath Fonseka is a graduate of our Staff College. It is said he has been targeted mainly because he has been wary of Indian bully.
