PM Visit to China, what is happening?

PM Oli is going to China at a time when the hardships of the blockade are fresh in public memory, when resentment against India has not died down, nor, for that matter, have expectations from China. This visit is being closely watched not only by India and the Nepali intelligentsia but also by the common people. Oli is going to China at a time when Nepal-India relation is said to be improving, but when there are still uncertainties.To Beijing mandarins, Oli might look like the head of government of a country which chose to look south first and who has come to its door crestfallen. He may look like a person pleading for help. But it is the fate of a country like Nepal to survive on generosity of others. It is possible that agreements of far reaching consequences will be signed during Oli's China trip. But people want something tangible, immediately. The most-awaited commercial oil deal will be meaningless if Nepalis have to depend only on Kerung route—which is too far from Kathmandu—to use Chinese oil.myrepublica
