The People Republic of China has lost its credibility during the Covid-19 pandemic whereas India is helping the world and dealing with the corona crisis in a much matured manner; China has shown impatience trying to disturb the peace in the border areas of India. Of late Nepal has come closer to China because of its ideological communist government. Recently PM K.P. Sharma Oli attacked India in his speech in the parliament saying that virus from India ‘looks more lethal’ than Chinese and Italian one. China has captured Tibet a long back and now it has a strong influence over the present government of Nepal. India is trying to develop connections to Hindu pilgrimage site in Tibet. On this issue, Nepal has a serious objection. The road to the Hindu pilgrimage site in Tibet is not going to create trouble for Nepal but it appears that the present government of Nepal is fulfilling the interest of China by opposing the border road projects.
PM Oli said that Kalapani-Lipulekh and Limpiyadhura are in the trilateral Nepal-India-China and will be included in Nepal’s map at any cost. Let us tell that on 8 May, India inaugurated the Kailash Mansarovar Road Link in script, which Nepal had objected to.
