The Chinese in Nepal ANI | Updated: May 28, 2021 21:53 IST
Kathmandu [Nepal], May 28 (ANI): Nepal s relations with China is a natural consequence of the engagement that exists between two neighboring countries with long years of association at different levels.
Nepal and Tibet have had traditional relations for years with trade and political exchanges taking place since times immemorial. However, as compared to the low degree of engagement between the two countries in the past decades, there has been a major shift since 2014-2015 with heightened Chinese activities in Nepal in a range of areas, including political. This phase has also seen accelerated investment in terms of human resources and capital, thus marking a significant shift from the traditional non-interfering role that China played in the past.

The world has reached the era of Covid-19 “vaccine apartheid
.” That was the warning this week from World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Nepal is now ground zero.
Nepal has surpassed India in terms of Covid-19 deaths per capita, and is far ahead of other south Asian countries. About 40% of Covid-19 tests are coming back positive. With fewer than 2,000 ICU beds and 600 ventilators for a population of 30 million, Nepal’s health care system is collapsing. As a member of the Nepali Parliament (G.K.T.) who represents a hard-hit area of Kathmandu and a U.S. physician-researcher who has collaborated with colleagues on strengthening health systems for 15 years, we implore action.
