The conclusion of Dr. Prem Singh Basnet, a former journalist, is that there is a need for balanced diplomacy in the declining Nepal-China relationship.
First of all, the Prime Minister should understand that Nepal is a wedge between two stones. Looking at the political and diplomatic situation of Nepal, the reputation and power of the yam has been eroded and it has become 'Gittha Vyakur', while both the big stones are not only stones in terms of credibility and power, but have become Bhimkaya mountain. Another truth is that Nepal's prosperity and stability will become difficult without the harmony and cooperation of China and India, friends of Nepal, Satru, Thuldai etc. No matter what you do for Nepal, your behavior towards China and India should be based on diplomacy and compassion. Neighbors will not come to bite Nepal, as long as we remain truthful.
If we look at the example of the republic in Nepal, the relationship between Nepal and China is going down and Nepal has not taken even 20 percent of the development assistance promised by China? Other neighbors and American political pressure are also responsible for preventing this work. But bigger than that, Nepali high-level employees have done badass. Those sold employees only understand the power of the country and the other neighbor and they do not work towards China and do not allow it to be done. More than that, it is recognized here that there is little room for Nepali employees to commit corruption in the development work with the help of China. The maximum support for corruption is from the US and the World Bank. In Afghanistan, both of them gave maximum support and corrupted the officials and leaders there. In the end, it was America that had to flee. Therefore, the Government of Nepal should form a "Government Task Force" to implement China's cooperation and take progress reports every month. Pipalpate Nepali communists have spoiled the country's diplomacy. The result of Modi being communist and Maoist center being "Biden communist" has worsened our relations with our neighbours. For example, when the government overtook India and China in favor of Ukraine and Nepal against Russia, China and India did not even invite Nepal to the G-20 conference, considering Nepal as an empty lot. Why didn't the Chinese president and the Indian prime minister go to the United Nations conference recently? What is its symbolic meaning? Nepal did not understand or understood? Yes, we should not become slaves of our neighbors. But in world politics, if we work at the instigation of distant air friends and do not understand the feelings of our neighbors, then we are the ones who will suffer when the time comes. China has also stopped caring about Nepal in many important conferences. Nepali Congress's foreign policy is clear. It will never be friendly to China or Russia. If it happens, India or America will become friendly. Leaders with the names of Nepali communists, Biden, Modi, Xi Jinping, Korean Holy Wine, Venezuelans: The world has taken Nepal as a country that has lost diplomatic meaning, religion and Sarm. It is important to have the management of the following aspects in Nepal-China relations rather than correcting big demands but not bringing them to work.
The first is the arrangement of Cable cars. It is clear that the roads connecting Nepal and China will not last even nine months in 1 year due to floods. In addition, cold friend China has repeatedly closed all borders. This has caused a great loss to the Nepalese and Nepali traders in the northern border area. If you interview those groups, most of them have become anti-China. In other words, it is a Chinese blockade. Therefore, it is necessary to make arrangements for the transport of people and goods by arranging a car that can run for twelve months and connecting both countries so that floods, landslides, snow and military security are not hindered. Nepal will be benefited a lot if such an arrangement is made so that vehicles meet the road in every zone connecting Nepal-China border.
The second is to make China aware that Nepal is on the world map. In fact, if you ask a thousand Chinese to name Nepal, not even one of them would be able to say that there is even a country called Nepal in the world. Some political leaders and employees are aware of the relationship between Nepal and China. The Chinese do not know about Nepal. The relationship between Nepalese and Chinese people is at zero level. If Tibet was not connected with Nepal and there were no activities of independent Tibet in Nepali territory, even the Chinese leaders and employees would not know about Nepal.
Another important thing is that with the joint investment or technical assistance of India and China, a factory of hand-weapons, bullets, bombs and ammunition needed by all the police, Nepali army, bank guards etc. should be established in Nepal and operated under the control of the Nepali army. In this country, which has about 200,000 government guns, it would be treason to say that we will defend the country by taking 100% handguns and bullets from abroad. In the same way, we should ask for other factories like during the time of King Mahendra.
The last suggestion is that China, India and Nepal should form a "prominent group". Because heaven and hell for Nepal are India and China. Other countries are selfish friends. Nepal will be able to gain the trust of both China and India and reduce the bitterness of China and India through this group. In this group, an expert group will be formed from ex-army, police and other employees, and they will take stock of the actions of trust and distrust done by each other country, and finally, it will work as a milestone to strengthen the relationship between the three countries. And an office has been opened in Nepal itself. This purely non-political group should help in preventing trilateral relations from deteriorating. More than that, the relationship between Nepal and India and Nepal and China should be improved. NGOs and INGOs are being eliminated in India and China. These are the ones that spoil internal and foreign relations. In addition to spoiling the relations between Nepal and India and Nepal and China, they are the ones who will increase the ethnic and religious conflicts within Nepal and cause corruption and drown the executive, administration and judiciary in the swamp of corruption. If Nepal is to be made zero of NGOs and INGOs, then the internal conflicts and foreign relations of our country will be greatly improved. Another thing, if the power of giving dollars and Euros will go only to nations that lose trust from their neighbors, then the fate of Nepal will be like that of the current Ukraine.
Finally, Nepal's oldest friend is China. China's Manjushree is living the history that the water of Kathmandu valley was cut by Chobhar hill and settled for human settlement and also the name of Nepal is from the name of Nemuni. The Chinese scholar Haven Sang also published the area of ??Nepal for the first time. From that day to this day, China has not given any trouble to Nepal. China is also the country that claps its hands while lamenting even when the other neighbor closes Nepal's nose and mouth. For the country's development, it is absolutely necessary for Nepal to cooperate with the world like King Mahendra's policy, but Nepal will not allow the world to be betrayed. The diplomacy adopted by the Indian Prime Minister is also the same as that of King Mahendra. They started talking about the option of canceling both MCC and BRI, who talk about making Nepal a battlefield and leaders of both countries come to Nepal and embrace the valley of the sold-out leaders of Nepal. Better than this, why not accept the help given by friendly country Russia? Is Nepal a colony of China and America? Don't try to increase the relationship with China by relying on Shakti Rashtra shaking the government of Nepal. And let's not do anything anti-India to please China. During the government of Shri 5, Nepal maintained respectable relations with our neighboring countries, but republican Nepal definitely took the relations with China lightly. This relationship is deteriorating. Along with this, we are teasing China by wearing the colonial cap of China's competitors and rival powers.
If Nepal's political stability and Nepal's existence are to be maintained, Nepal should work to become a stopping point for both China and India without compromising its national interests. Consider how our own rash diplomacy has damaged relations with our neighbours. Actually, Nepal-China relations are in a declining state, now. Both neighbors are equally important for Nepal and there is a need for a balanced relationship.
