Beijing signs deals with Nepal amid China-India border clash

[Flynn Swagmire]

Nepal turned away from India and towards China... so did Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and soon Bhutan too.

Looking at Indian attitude, it was inevitable...

You know how Nepal and Butan became close to India in the first place ?? It was the CCP's actions in Tibet that brought Nepal and Butan closer to us. Even the Maoist government in Nepal was pro Indian than Chinese.

I bet they haven't forgot Tibet yet.

Seriously dude, come up with something with makes sense. I am all ears, I can assure you, you will have my full attention.

Sorry, now I'm not able to understand what you mean. Try to construct some meaningful sentence first. :-(

The nine-story Basantapur Tower, part of the historical Kathmandu Durbar Square in Kathmandu of Nepal, has begun its reconstruction with Chinese aid Tuesday.

The upper tiers of the landmark tower collapsed during an 8.1 magnitude earthquake that rattled Nepal in 2015. The tower, along with other structures on the Durbar Square, constitutes a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

According to a restoration project plan currently displayed at the Durbar Square, the tower complex and its auxiliary buildings that need to be restored cover an area of 1,300 square meters with a building area of 5,600 square meters. The project will take 58 months to be completed.

The restoration will be funded by China, according to Nepalese media reports.

The restoration plan will follow the principle of minimum intervention, focusing on the reinforcement of the remaining structure and protecting the original components as much as possible.

Also according to the plan, China will contribute in the restoration efforts with its extensive experience in restoring similar historical structures within and outside China, as well as various restoration projects in the wake of a major earthquake in Sichuan Province in 2008.

A commencement ceremony of the restoration project was held on the Durbar Square on Monday, coinciding with Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang's ongoing visit to Nepal.

Neighbours sign three agreements during official visit by Chinese vice-premier to Kathmandu

UPDATED : Wednesday, 16 August, 2017, 3:46pm

A US$1 million humanitarian aid package and an agreement to explore oil and gas resources were among the deals signed during China’s official visit to Nepal this week.
Chinese vice-premier Wang Yang’s trip to Kathmandu was intended to boost economic ties with its western neighbour, and came amid an ongoing border clash with India.

One of the deals, signed on Tuesday, was an agreement to undertake a feasibility study to explore natural gas and petroleum resources, Nepal’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

Nepal torn both ways as stand-off between India and China continues

“China is ready to help Nepal increase its self-sufficiency on energy,” Wang was quoted by Xinhua as saying.

As well as the aid package, China agreed to provide Nepal with a grant to help it restore border bridges and facilities at Tatopani port – a joint venture development project between the two countries – that were damaged in the earthquake in April 2015.

Nepal voiced its desire for China to open the port, which is on the border between the countries at Tatopani and Zhangmu, at the earliest possible date, according to a press release from its foreign affairs ministry.

Nepal, China begin first-ever joint military exercises

Wang, who arrived in Nepal on Monday, described the two countries as “trustworthy friends and partners”. He also noted Kathmandu’s cooperation on the “Belt and Road Initiative”, China’s ambitious plan to develop an infrastructure network across Asia, Europe and Africa.

The visit by the Chinese delegation came amid a tense border stand-off between China and India over disputed territory at the Doklam tri-junction with neighbouring Bhutan, and as both China and India are attempting to boost their links with South Asian nations. Before heading to Kathmandu, Wang attended Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations and vowed to further push for the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The dispute between China and India has created a dilemma for Nepal, during which it has sought to remain neutral. According to an earlier report by The Times of India, Nepal’s deputy prime minister and foreign minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara said the country “will not take sides”.

China and India on brink of armed conflict as hopes of resolution to border dispute fade

Wang Dehua, a professor at the Shanghai Municipal Center for International Studies, said China and Nepal had many opportunities for cooperation, describing them as “good brothers”.

“China and Nepal do not have many problems,” he said. “As Nepal is a small country, China is very willing to help work with it through the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, in the hopes that they can improve their economic cooperation.”

Despite Nepal’s historic ties to India, he noted it had consistently been able to maintain a neutral position between the two Asian giants.

Zhang Guihong, a professor of international studies at Fudan University in Shanghai, said the agreements were an important step in China-Nepal relations, which had made rapid progress with 10 cooperative agreements signed last year.

“China is vigorously pushing forward the ‘Belt and Road Initiative’, strengthening its relations with nationals along the route, including Nepal,” he said. “These efforts to enhance relations with South Asian nations will also mean more competition between China and India, to gain a more favourable and active position in the conflict.”

The biggest worry for Chinese firms in India isn’t the border dispute, it’s finding staff

Rupak Sapkota, general secretary of the Nepal Institute of Strategic Analyses, said Nepal has been caught in the middle of the conflict but hopes its giant neighbours can reach a peaceful solution.

“The Doklam stand-off has added fuel to their conflicting positions, and its impact on Nepal is inevitable,” he said.

“[But] Nepal believes the shared economic interests and cooperation between China and India have to outweigh geopolitical rivalry, and [they should] avoid confrontation.”

Bhaskar Koirala, director of the Nepal Institute of International and Strategic Studies, said it would be “very easy” for Nepal to be drawn into a military conflict between India and China because of its proximity to both countries.

“Nepal must stand unequivocally neutral in order to ensure the conflict does not spiral out of control and engulf the wider region,” he said.

So, what's next. I was expecting some rhetorics against India.

India had wanted to isolate Pakistan. Even by working its a$$ look what they've achieved so far. It looks as if India has started its isolation journey and has gone miles.

As I said before China will not go easy on India, we will corner India and counter India influence over this region with incentive package, Nepal know where their interest.

Oh really? If we can help Nepal to get our of India's orbit then it's worth, and our investment is very payoff in geo-political area, we have done with BD, Sri Lanka and Pakistan to isolate India and remove their influence in this region...it's pretty well spend I should said.

These 1 million is for Nepal children to buy candy while envy by over hundred millions of starving Indian children but we have more serious offer for Nepal to come.

You know how Nepal and Butan became close to India in the first place ?? It was the CCP's actions in Tibet that brought Nepal and Butan closer to us. Even the Maoist government in Nepal was pro Indian than Chinese.

Time has changed, China in 2017 is not China in 1960s , Maoist is pro India? LMAO too funny India had cried lamentably on China's shoulder begging not to support this faction...and you guys turn around and said they're pro Indian ...what a joke of 21st century.

2 to 3 decades ago Nepal didn't have the choice other than to be at the mercy of India, now they have choice to call China any time to counter India, India has lost ground to China and become less and less relevant...that's undeniable fact.

The never ending Chinese pipe dreams.

So, what's next. I was expecting some rhetorics against India.

All you got was a frigging"We will stay neutral"?

win-win for India? lol India's interest has never been on China-Nepal agenda, stop of mocking yourself.

Seriously, which world are you living in ??? Don't you know the Ex-PM of Nepal Prachanda a.k.a Pushpa Kamal Dahal, as well as the previous Maoist government and their pro-India stance ??? Even if you don't know your official daily and Chinese authorities are quite aware it seems.

They are seriously hoping for a revived Sino-Nepal relation.

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1038667.shtml

An Excerpt from the above;

For quite some time, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, better known as Prachanda, prime minister of Nepal and chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Center), had been friendly toward China. However, since assuming office for the second time as prime minister on August 3, 2016, he has visited India twice and warmly welcomed Indian President Shri Pranab Mukherjee in Kathmandu last November.

Given Prachanda's pro-India foreign policy, the Sino-Nepalese relationship has fallen into low ebb. On Thursday, Prachanda will embark on a visit to China to attend the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2017.

Now you seems to be becoming a BIG JOKE here.
