US financial support will be contingent on Sri Lanka asserting its sovereignty “against influence by the People’s Republic of China,” and improving human rights and promoting inter religious and ethnic reconciliation, a 900 billion dollar spending bill before the congress says.

The bill as amended by the US Senate mainly involves Coronavirus relief but also assistance to a number of foreign countries and other spending.
 
Future financial support for Sri Lanka will be available after the secretary of state certifies among others things that Sri Lanka acts to “assert its sovereignty against influence by the People’s Republic of China,” the Bill says.
