'Upset' Bangladesh PM Hasina cuts short China visit, returns to Dhaka

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's abrupt return from Beijing has sparked speculation about unmet expectations from her China visit. Reports suggest that despite promises of substantial financial aid, China offered a significantly smaller package of around $100 million during the trip, disappointing Dhaka. Moreover, Hasina anticipated extensive discussions with President Xi Jinping but was only briefly met, with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang serving as her main counterpart. The subdued media coverage of her visit and these diplomatic dynamics likely influenced Hasina's decision to cut short her stay, citing family reasons.
