    The document summarizes a paper that argues China's aggressive investments in Sri Lanka undermine the spirit of the 1955 Bandung Conference, which sought to promote decolonization and horizontal relations among Southern countries. The paper uses China's investments in Sri Lanka's ports as a case study to argue that China's concessions enable it to exert extensive control over Sri Lanka's domestic policy, ignoring the Bandung Conference's emphasis on resilience against new forms of colonialism. The paper concludes that China's actions represent a new form of colonization being committed by Southern countries themselves rather than by traditional colonial powers.

    THE RUPTURE IN SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE ORDER:

    China’s Aggressive Investment and The Spirit of


    Bandung Conference

    ,Teuku Muhammad Farhan Al Ghifari, Juliansyah Rahmat Maulana


    Universitas Brawijaya
    ABSTRACT

    In the opening speech of The Asian-African Conference Soekarno warned the


    world that Colonialism isn’t actually dead and the effort of decolonisation
    hasn’t completed. “… colonialism has also its modern dress, in the form of
    economic control, […] or even appears in many guises”. The ultimate spirit of
    Bandung Conference is actually about decolonization. But, what if this spirit
    is already hijacked and denied by the southern countries itself?. The paper
    argue that instead of fulfilling the value of Bandung Conference and aiming
    at creating horizontal relations among the South, Southern hegemonic
    countries even commit such colonization in the peripheral southern
    countries. This paper will provide an evidence by means of case study
    showing the aggressiveness of China’s Investment, then proceed to argue
    that: first, the concession port in Sri Lanka is a by product of dependency
    situation and enables China to have extensive control of Sri Lanka’s
    domestic policy. Second, the investment undertaken by China in Sri Lanka
    is a form of China’s ignorance of Bandung Spirit which put specific
    emphasis on promoting resilience against new form of colonialism. Third,
    the spread of new colonization even committed by the southern countries.

    Keywords: New Colonization, The Spirit of Bandung Conference, Horizontal


    Relations, Dependency among Southern Countries.
