Nepal set to hop on China’s Silk Road, whatever India thinks
The emphasis the country has put on joining One Belt One Road signifies its willingness to re-align itself in the India-China power equation

Having previously been almost entirely dependent on India for its trade, Nepal is slowly, but surely, coming out of decades of economic isolation. Like other regional countries, it is reaching out to China, another immediate neighbour, to strengthen economic relations, and is keen to tap into the latter’s New Silk Road initiative.

Nepal’s Prime Minister, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who just attended the Boao Forum for Asia’s annual conference in China, is reported to have expressed his country’s full support for Beijing’s ‘One China’ policy and eagerness to receive Chinese investment under ‘One Belt, One Road.’

While no new agreements were signed during the visit, Nepal’s foreign minister did apprise the media of the PM’s intention to convey to China’s Xi Jinping Nepal’s desire to be involved with OBOR.

China has been involved in building important infrastructure in Nepal, notably to establish a new trade route from Tibet to Kathmandu, via Mustang, for some time.
Its presence in the region has been seen by other countries, particularly India, as a move towards undermining support for the Tibetans: Nepal houses numerous Tibetan refugees and it is from there, China believes, that separatists continue to operate and receive succour.

One of the projects, signed in 2016, envisages the construction of a 450-kilometer railroad connecting the town of Xigaze, in the Tibet Autonomous Region, to the town of Gyirong, near the Sino-Nepalese border by 2020.

This project, when completed, would not only enable Nepal to send its goods to Chinese ports – and from there connect with the outside world – but also allow it to reduce its dependence on the Indian port of Calcutta, which it has been using in accordance with the Nepal-India transit treaty.

For Nepal, therefore, China offers an opportunity to build an alternative geography of trade, with the Silk Road representing a means to widen its exports and imports.

For China, Nepal’s relations with India will have an impact on the trajectory of its own bi-lateral relations with the former

From China’s perspective, there has to be more. It hopes to neutralize the “Tibetan threat” on its way to dominating South Asia. Bi-lateral co-operation, therefore, has to go beyond mere economic relations and Nepal’s participation in OBOR. Co-operation in military matters is crucial and, so far, it has not been up to the point where China can use Nepal to effectively deal with the issues it faces in Tibet.

Military co-operation is still being discussed. It would certainly irk India, which surrounds Nepal on three sides. The challenge for Nepal, therefore, is to walk a cautious path between China and India and try use its geographical location to its advantage.

The gravity of the situation is evident from the fact that Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat arrived on a four-day official visit to Nepal on March 28. His visit comes just after the country hosted China’s Defence Minister, Chang Wanquan – the first such visit in 16 years – and is preparing to participate in a joint military exercise with the PLA later this year.

For China, Nepal’s relations with India will have an impact on the trajectory of its own bi-lateral relations with the former.

This was pretty evident from the way China reacted to the Nepali PM’s visit to India in September 2016. Global Times, a newspaper under the auspices of the Chinese state-run People’s Daily, ran a provocative story warning Nepal over its growing ties with India and describing Nepal-China relations as “fragile and sensitive.”

The Nepali PM’s visit to China, in this context, seems to have been greatly colored by a desire to of re-gain China’s confidence, or what Xi has called the imperative of building “political trust” and enhancing co-operation “on issues concerning core interests and major concerns.”

The message to Nepal is clear. Meanwhile, the emphasis the country has put on joining OBOR signifies its willingness to re-align itself in the India-China power equation.

Welcome aboard. We all are gathering together to make Asia great again

You do know that Nepal borders China right? And that they have infrastructure connecting the two countries... right?

That is right and it will break India blackmail to Nepal. At least you guys have some shame, they didn't cock food for their festival because of unofficial Indian blockade and just few months after earthquake. When Eid come you start shelling. What kind of peoples you are?

India can reach Central Asia through China via NEPAL and China can reach Arabian seaport MUmbai through India. CPEC is useless for India.

Still missing the point . nepal was the ally of india apparently it isnt .

India can reach Central Asia through China via NEPAL and China can reach Arabian seaport MUmbai through India. CPEC is useless for India.

Pakistan is not running Anti China policy but India is running with the help of US

And you think China didnt thought that .we are intentionally blocking your approach to Central Asia .

Only Pakistan is blocking Land route to CA, India can always take Chabahar route to CA. Kashmir is worth more than just some land route to CA. India won't allow China a land route to Mumbai. China was refused investment in Cochin port in India.

Just like USA, China in actuality wants India as partner. It is India which is refusing China. India is the fastest growing economy, China will ditch Pakistan and come to India. eventually,

Chinese investment in India shoots to $2.3 bn in past 3 months against $1.35 bn in 2000-16

Chabahar route is not that long, EEZ is not Impassible, They are International waters. Dams in Kashmir have made India net power exporter. Then Kashmir also gives psychological superiority over Punjab region.
J&K has 1.3 lakh crore GDP surely it more than compensates the military expense + Chabahar extra expense.
So CPEC is not a good option for India.

CPEC is useless for India. Ocean ships are larger and more economical than trucks and trains.

Indians alway dream to get Central Asia through China and why we need Mumbai when we have our all weather friend Gwadar and Pakistan people are more friendlier to Chinese than Indians...LOL

How convenient to use Chabahar route...sound like a desperation alternative to me. And don't boast yourself too quick, China wants to be partner will all nations not just India. Sure India can refuse our investment but our money is not lost we can invest in CPEC instead

India has more arable land than China. and just slightly lower than USA.
http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/Agriculture/Arable-land/Hectares
We have a 1.3 billion population. We are fastest economy on planet. We don't grow as fast as China, but we will grow. A country grows in its local currency.
On PPP basis, China is at 1st and India is at 3rd place in 2014. Both country together shares 16.08% and 23.16% of total global wealth in nominal and PPP terms, respectively.
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2001rank.html
Chinese currency is 7 times India, if we remove that,
Our GDP ppp is almost half of China, Remove the assembly plants like Foxconn and China is not so great.

Even USA was with Pakistan in the past, but it left Pakistan and joined with India.
It is China who will ask to India for business partnership in the future. India is too large to ignore and future growth will make it impossible.

 

[StraightShooter]

Encirclement of India is now complete.

Chinese string of pearls strategy has won. India lost.

India now has two options

1) Accept defeat & Chinese supremacy and survive

2) Fight the Chinese and perish

Don't talk like India is so important to China, we ask India for business as we ask other nations, it's just a business opportunity sure India can refuse but nothing prevent China to invest somewhere else. CPEC is an good example which is a win-win for China and Pakistan.

You have 3th option: Be friend with China and Pakistan
