Nepal is at a critical point, China wants to insert its influence in Nepal, India already has huge influence, since oil and gas, vehicles, and many many more products are imported from india and then there is also US influence in Nepal which is unseen by the public eye. I believe when King Birendra was in power he had balanced our relation with both China and India but now due to our own failure to form a government there is a huge influence in our politics from these 2 countries. I know if china takes over then there will be big advancements in the corporate sector and developments throughout Nepal, but then the way Beijing treats Tibet could redirect towards Nepal as well, and then the tibetan community in Nepal would never trust or support China's ascension into Nepal. So, either Nepal stands on its own or it will be exploited hugely by these powerful nations acting as neighbors. The best way to resolve this, as I see is, to stop chinese influence through the United States who can create a huge army base in Nepal, that co-operates with the Nepelese army and the Nepelese govt. I know that might sound absurd to most people but I also know that US laws provide freedom of many sorts, it will also help bring massive tourism growth in Nepal. Nepal could be a modern day Singapore with right planning and right leadership.
