Risk for Nepal’s eocnomy

China’s involvement in Nepal has been rapidly increasing, and it is making its presence felt in various sectors, Pardafas.com reported. A decade ago, China was not interested in getting involved in the internal politics of Nepal, but nowadays it is actively increasing its role in the country’s power struggle. In the recent House of Representatives elections, there was a noticeable surge in Chinese officials’ eagerness for the Communist Party’s unification or coalition.

A few years ago, China played a facilitating role in the formation of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) by bringing together two prominent political parties in Nepal, the Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) party and the Maoist Center, Pardafas.com reported.

Chinese involvement is seen not only in politics but also in charge of development projects, tourism, trade and other sectors of dominance and digital crime. As Chinese activities and interference are increasing in every field, there are signs that Nepal’s sovereignty will be threatened in the future.

Especially when a landlocked country like Nepal has to play a balanced role with all its neighbours, the increasing activity of the Chinese has increased the possibility of teasing other countries, Pardafas.com reported. (ANI)
