India and Nepal are having very cordial relations, not only from now but for a long time back in History. The geographical location of Nepal has made it very much important for India. China has already made effective incursions into neighboring countries of India. China is also supplying large number of arms to Nepal. Although Nepal Politicians are aware of the dangers of receiving Chinese aid, China is making irrefutable promises, both financially and otherwise. India, which is economically and politically backward compared to China, cannot provide an alternative. When the border dispute broke out, many countries took a stand against China and informed India but unfortunately Nepal was not stand with India. Countries such as Germany, France, Britain and Australia, which are seeking to increase their influence in the Indo-Pacific region, have also extended a helping hand to India. Even so, the only two countries that can directly confront China economically and politically are the United States and Russia. India can make policy decisions on the Chinese issue only in the face of a number of issues, including the Chinese invasion of the Indian subcontinent, the growing Chinese influence in neighboring countries, the Sino-Russian alliance, and the antagonism of China and Russia.
