Currently it operates 4x weekly (Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun)
It shows only 2x (Mon, Wed) in April and May and 3x (Mon, Wed, Sun) from June.

Yeah you're correct. UL has cancelled the flights between HRI-PEK, PVG-HRI and HRI-MLE. So following SriLankan flights are operating out of HRI. FlyDubai does daily DXB-CMB-HRI-DXB with B737.

12:30 - 13:10 - UL133 - A320 - 1 3 5 7 (CMB-HRI-TRZ-CMB)
09:50 - 10:30 - UL319 - A320 - 4 (CMB-KUL-HRI-CMB)
16:40 - 17:20 - UL128 - A320 - 2 6 (CMB-MAA-HRI-CMB)

Sri Lanka’s national carrier SriLankan Airlines now wants to raise US$ 175 million (or more than Rs. 22.7 billion) through an international bond issue to make pre-delivery payments to Airbus Industrie for the ten new aircraft it wants to procure. Whilst seeking approval for this bond issue, Civil Aviation Minister Priyankara Jayaratne has also asked the Cabinet of Ministers to request the Treasury to provide a sovereign guarantee for US$ 50 million (or over Rs 6.5 billion).That is to the Standard Chartered Bank, the lead bank that is raising a US$ 150 million syndicate loan.

From that syndicate loan, SriLankan Airlines wants to repay US$ 130 million that is now due to the Dubai-based Mashreq Bank on a loan of US$ 175 million obtained in 2012...

I am not sure - I have a confirmed booking in mid-Aug to fly CMB to PEK via HRI/BKK in A340, but they might change it.
