flag Nepal’s political instability and youth protests threaten China-backed infrastructure projects and strategic partnership gains.

flag Nepal, a strategically located Himalayan nation, has strengthened ties with China through infrastructure projects, trade, and participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, elevating relations to a strategic partnership in 2019. flag China views Nepal as a key buffer state, a partner in regional connectivity and hydropower, and a consistent supporter of the One-China policy. flag However, Nepal’s frequent government changes, political instability, and recent youth-led protests over corruption, unemployment, and nepotism have disrupted cooperation and raised concerns in Beijing about project continuity and border security. flag Despite China’s investments and growing influence, domestic unrest continues to challenge the sustainability of deepening ties.
