One from the Economic Times Report It has been said that Bangladesh has accused China of supplying defective parts. It has been said that there are technical problems in the weapons purchased from China. Many weapons are not firing. Bangladesh is repeatedly asking China to supply defective parts and Chinese companies are demanding more money to fix the thing.
Not only the army of Bangladesh, but the navy is also facing such problems. Two frigates made in China came to Bangladesh and problems started arising right from the beginning. When Bangladesh raised questions, China asked for extra money and said that only then they will be able to fix the problem.
The limit was crossed when Bangladesh bought two submarines from China and China gave them back at a very cheap price. Later it was found out that they were used submarines. That means China gave old stuff to Bangladesh. Those submarines were of no use to China and it made money from them too.
According to the report, when Bangladesh Navy told a Chinese company last year that the cannon installed on the warship built by it was useless and not working, the Chinese company asked for more money and then agreed to repair the cannon.
According to the report, Bangladesh, tired and disappointed with Chinese goods, has now shifted towards Turkey. It has purchased rocket systems from Turkey. Not only Bangladesh, many countries of the world have fallen victim to Chinese goods. Especially the countries purchasing military equipment are quite troubled and they are not getting any help from Chinese companies or the government there.
