Probably the US India alignment is what China is not able to assimilate ! Trump has his own interest in India to woo the Indian voters there with presidential elections hardly a few months away ! India has strategic interests in its ties with US ! Why China has taken suddenly a different stand of crossing the border at a critical juncture like this seems puzzling, as the issue has been there for decades.The only non communist mighty country having a land border with it among the the 14 countries (such as North Korea,Russia,,Pakistan,Vietnam,Nepal, Bhutan, Laos,Myanmar et)c being India and cornering it using Nepal as a pawn may be a part of its strategy for economic gains through undue advantages in trade rather than for a piece of land now ,though it was the case wayback !
Nepal has been dependent on India for a long time for imports of many essentials! However its dependency is now less as the void is filled by China through its ambitious expansion plans ! It strategically funded Nepal.About eight countries such as Laos, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Djibouti (Africa)are in the ‘debt trap diplomacy ‘ of China where it funded huge amounts as part of developing infrastructure !Many of these are not able to service the huge debt with interest liabilities.
You can see my next post at 9 pm tomorrow !
