| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Nepal was the first Country among India’s South neighbours which played China Card against India in early 1960s when it not only settled the boundary dispute with China but also signed the peace and friendship treaty and went for Chinese assistance in building road network between the two countries. After that, Nepal has never looked back or restrained from playing China card. After Sikkim’s accession to India in 1975, Nepal became over concerned with security threats from India and leaned heavily towards China in 1980s which included, among other things, the purchase of defence items from China. In 1990s, China merged an important arms supplier to Nepal to address the challenges posed by Maoist insurgency. |
