The CIA is wonderful at doing nothing and reporting nothing, and collecting lots of taxdollars in the process. I hope all of their "nothing" adds up to something in this country.

sanman China Involved in Violence 6/28/2004 10:01:14 AM

Of course China's involved in supporting the communist attrocities in Nepal. The Nepalese communists have suddenly taken a radical turn towards extreme violence, without any reason. The traditional leaders of the Nepalese communist movement have suddenly been marginalized. The Nepalese communists are suddenly quoting doctrines very similar to the Khmer Rouge of Cambodian Killing Fields fame, which were another group China used to support to offset Vietnam. This time around, China is looking to take over Nepal in order to direct it against India, which it feels nervous about, especially since the US has entered Afghanistan which also has a border with China. China does not like the idea of the American superpower having a presence on its Western border, so they are looking to beef up their security on their Western flank. Since they can't directly remove the American presence in Afghanistan, they have to shore things up elsewhere on their Western frontiers, and Nepal is a convenient weak spot for them to penetrate.

Sujies Nepal the distant oasis 12/8/2006 3:36:24 PM

Lets look at the players who could influence Nepali politics,

US - Nepal should and does occupy a very small part of their radar,
here are the resons why:
1) Nepal does not have the demographics to influence a neighbouring nation like
pakistan, Taiwan, or the north-south koreas
2) Nepal is not considered a militarily strategic point like afghanistan or even
kashmir,

India - India it seems had more to gain by having the royal family at the helm,
than see the maoists roam all over the country, which has lessened its influence
in nepal

China - look at at the events that have transpired and you can find out its the
red hand which has gained more, even though nepal is not considered strategically
so important by china.

You could only deduce that china prefers handling rogue leaders with whom its very
comfortable(pakistan, myanmar, africa, NK) than handling the India-loyalist
royal family, hence the current changes.

Just another move made in the game to encircle India

Nepal represents fresh farmland, clean water, women and resources for Bad China the Pirate to plunder.

I think the motive for the PRC is more to strengthen their strategic position in regards India. There may be exploitable resources in Nepal (their main mining export is gravel, although I think they also export a small amount of zinc), but overall Nepal has a very underdeveloped and poor agricultural economy. The advantage Maobadi control in Nepal would give the Chinese communists is as a plausibly deniable base area for keeping an eye on India. Simply keeping the country in turmoil will at least preclude the country being used by Western states or India as a base to keep an eye on the Chiense mainland. In any case, their strategy does seem eerily similar to that used in Cambodia before 1979.
