India had expressed concern earlier as well
It is worth noting that in the month of August, when the Chinese ship camped at Sri Lanka's Hambantota port. At that time, India had expressed concern related to national security in front of Sri Lanka and said that the tracking systems installed on the ship can gather information about the Indian security infrastructure in this coastal area. It can also be used for China's military submarines and ships. Due to this Chinese vessel, a diplomatic dispute had arisen between India and Sri Lanka. The Chinese vessel left Sri Lankan waters on August 22 following India's objections.
