Absolutely not. This frantic attempt to garner Chinese support will lead Nepal to a diplomatic disaster. First, US secretary of state is in India to discuss on various issues including Nepal. Dr Rice is very concerned about China's recent decision to use power against Taiwan when needed. US is terribly concerned about growing Chinese economic and military might in the region. Nepal might be the first country to express this kind of explicit support to China on the Taiwanese issue. Therefore, this will raise serious concerns to America in the first place. India is also deeply disurbed by Pakistani ambassador's remarks about his country's willingness to supply arms to Nepal. Gyanendra's diplomatic advisor have seriously failed to address the importance of a balanced diplomacy. You cannot ignore to America's and India's influence even though China's cooperation is also equally important. A country like Nepal should not tease the big bullies. All this makes sure that Gyanendra has lost his faith on getting international support. But China will not and cannot afford to protect Nepal's interest in the international arena single handedly. The latest announcement reflects how vulnerable the new government has felt of itself so soon. All this because of the lack of common sense that Civil liberties cannot be banned in the 21 st century. Mind you Gyanendra and Rameshnath Pandeyji, you don't have nuclear capabilities as North Korea has to tease the big brother- I mean America.
