How Can China Begin The Process Of Absorbing The Small Country Of Nepal Into Becoming An Eventual Province?
Posted in Nepal on 05/28/2009 05:17 pm by NepalIt is my assumption that the Maoists that currently hold power in Nepal have or had in the past connections to China’s military or intelligence agencies and would probably join China as an autonomous province at some point in the future if massive amounts of aid was given to the small country bordering China and India or if pressure were exerted on Nepal diplomatically and economically through an extended period purchase acomplia of time.
Would it be difficult to absorb Nepal since China’s government still considers itself a communist government despite the fact that China has turned from the ideas of communism overwhelmingly towards the ideas of capitalism?

Despite their name and proximity to China, I’ve never heard of any links between the Nepalese Maoists and China. Also, I think it’s highly unlikely that Nepal will ever become part of China.
Nepal is primarily a Hindu country and has far more in common with India (which surrounds it on three sides) than it has with China which is/was Buddhist/Confucian. Plus China is separated from Nepal by the rather imposing physical barrier of the Himalayas, including Mt. Everest. That would make governance and transportation links to this new province rather arduous. In comparison, India is geographically accessible and similar in many cultural, linguistic, etc. parameters.
The Maoist stance does little to bring Nepal and China together. The Nepalese are Maoist in the revolutionary, people’s war sense and doctrine-wise appear to be circa 1960′s Cultural Revolution. China, on the other hand, has moved far beyond Maoism into a 30+ years age of “capitalism with chinese characteristics”. The govt in Nepal was elected and would want to continue to control its peoples’ destiny. I doubt that they would think that China has had a great track record in safeguarding autonomous territories’ rights (see Tibet and the Uighurs).
It’d be an interesting development but I don’t think it’s likely. Hope that helps.

Ideals. Ideas are another thing entirely. What, the Chinese Communist government was freely elected?Hey, stroke this. Hey, how come all of that crap that you guys are sending us with the massive container ships that we instructed you how to build is virtually useless after the first couple of months of user ship? Why, because you have dedicated your society to the production of crap on a massive scale merely to keep your pathetic leaders in power while they drain their gizzards.China men are bad medicine unless you are totally freaking retarded!

China will not even consider this till they united with taiwan and take full control of south China sea,
based on assumption that world war 3 will not happen.
but of course if nepal hold a referendum and more that 50% of nepal population do vote that they want join China then may be.

China has no interest in annexing Nepal and hasn’t practiced Maoist politics since 1976.
Modern China is a well regulated capitalist economy with a one party socialist political structure.
China has no territorial ambitions. China is peaceful and happy as is.

That Maoist party was freely elected, the Chinese did not oppress them.
Absorbing small countries is more of a western thing, check out the histor y of England, Spain. Then point fingers at China.
