NEPAL CHINA BORDER
- The border between China and Nepal is 1,414 kilometres (879 mi) in length
- Five Fingers of Tibet
- The Five Fingers of Tibet is a Chinese strategy attributed to Mao Zedong which considers Tibet to be China’s right hand palm, with five fingers on its periphery: Ladakh, Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, and Arunachal Pradesh
THE FOUNDING FATHER OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (PRC) —MAO ZEDONG
- After having inflicted military defeats on China, the imperialist countries forcibly took from her a large number of states tributary to China, as well as a part of her own territory. Japan appropriated Korea, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, the Pescadores, and Port Arthur; England took Burma, Bhutan, Nepal, and Hongkong; France seized Annam; even a miserable little country like Portugal took Macao from us. At the same time that they took away part of her territory, the imperialists obliged China to pay enormous indemnities. Thus heavy blows were struck against the vast feudal empire of China.
MEDIA REPORTS
- New Delhi is evaluating the exact location of the Chinese encroachment in Nepal and its proximity to the Indian border and whether the move was made in connivance with a section of the political leadership in Kathmandu or by taking the KP Sharma Oli OIigovernment for a ride, ET has learned.
ANOTHER ASPECT
- The uncertain Nepal politics
- Former PM and Communist Party president Prachanda has said that on every front, KP Oli has been unsuccessful and he should resign from the post of Prime Minister of Nepal.
THE UNCERTAIN NEPAL POLITICS
- However, KP Oli has refused to resign from the post despite the raging internal conflict in the party. After his refusal, Prachanda even threatened to divide the ruling Communist Party.
WHY IS IT BAD FOR INDIA?
- In order to stay in power, K.P Oli will require support from the Chinese Communist party. We have earlier seen how the Chinese envoy helped save K.P Oli’s government a few months ago
- So if another political crisis emergence it will only increase K.P Oli’s dependence on China
PROBLEMS FOR INDIA
- India needs totread very carefully as its larger national interests could be badly affected if China encroaches more land in Nepal
