Like many others in India, I guess the Indian MPs fail to see that many Nepalese, rightly or wrongly, feel more threatened by India than China.
On the other hand, for all this talk about China being Nepal's friend, which I think it has been for the most part, where was China when India was strangling our throats with a blockade back in the mid-80s? What did they really do to help us? (assuming there was anything they could do) Clearly we seem to have much more respect and love for China than they do for us. It seems China doesn't really give a poop about Nepal. The fact of the matter is each one of our neighbors is looking out for their own interests and so should we. Both our neighbors pose threats and opportunities. It is for us, in large measure, to decide which we want to exploit.
Just my thoughts.
