Bangladesh takes China envoy to Teesta project site near India's Chicken's Neck

• Bangladesh's interim government, led by Muhammad Yunus, took Chinese Ambassador Yao Wen to a Teesta project site near India's Siliguri corridor (Chicken's Neck).
• The visit was for a technical assessment of the Teesta River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project, amid rising India-Bangladesh tensions.
• This follows Yunus' controversial remarks about India's Northeast being "landlocked" and suggestions for "extension of the Chinese economy" into the region.
• Bangladesh's water resources advisor, Syeda Rizwana Hasan, accompanied the Chinese envoy, who expressed China's eagerness to implement the Teesta Master Plan.
• Chinese Ambassador Wen also met Bangladesh's national security adviser, Khalilur Rahman, discussing mutual interests and development cooperation.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's move to involve China in the Teesta project near India's border raises regional geopolitical concerns.
