The collapse of the government in Bangladesh comes a month after his high-profile visit to Beijing during which he elevated bilateral ties with China to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
Sheikh Hasina signed several agreements during her visit to China
Sheikh Hasina visited China from 8 to 10 July. During this, she met Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Qiang and signed 21 agreements between the two countries.
During his meeting with Sheikh Hasina, the Chinese President said that the two countries have elevated their relations to a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
The Chinese President made such an announcement when Maldives President Mohammed Muizzu visited Beijing after his election. In addition to comprehensive economic and trade packages, China’s political approach has taken the relations to new heights.

‘It won’t make much difference’
Chinese analysts said the fall of the Hasina government would not make much difference to them as Beijing shares very close ties with the opposition Bangladesh National Party (BNP), headed by former prime minister and Hasina’s arch rival Begum Khaleda Zia.
Let us tell you that after Bangladesh became an independent country in 1971, Beijing established diplomatic relations with Dhaka in 1976 and later strengthened its strategic relations during the era of Ziaur Rahman, his wife Khaleda Zia and later his arch rival Hasina.
Let us tell you that 84-year-old Mohammad Yunus was sworn in on Thursday as the head of the interim government replacing Sheikh Hasina, who suddenly resigned after deadly protests against her government over the controversial quota system in jobs and left the country for India amid the turmoil.
