Thanks for the detailed insight. Have been following the India-China conflict on geopolitical dominance for quite sometime. I hope this egoistic clash between 2 superpowers benefits the region. For a country like Nepal which is stuck between these two colliding nations, this can be either a curse or boon.
For instance, China is currently using its "chequebook diplomacy" to lure Nepal to to its side while India has always been a "big brother" nation to the Nepali politicians who run to India for counseling at every small problems the country faces. Its good that Nepal is getting millions of dollars just to satisfy the egos of its superior neighbors but the very identity and sovereignty of the country is in crisis.
