Storyline:People's Liberation Army Returns To Nepal
“In a predawn invasion by ground forces and attack aircraft, the People’s Republic of China has invaded the sovereign nation of Nepal. Crossing the border just before dawn near the Cho Oyu mountain range, Nepalese forces are completely unpreparred for an invasion of this degree. This landlocked country has not quite recovered from a devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the nation in 2015 and it seems now that a new challenge has arrived; foreign occupation.”
“Chinese troops originally came to the nation a few years ago as part of an aid relief package at the request of the Nepalese government. However diplomatic conflicts over China’s alliance with North Korea it’s nearly decade long conflict on the Korean peninsula draw harsh criticism from Kathmandu. Ultimately resulting in a conflict between the Indian Army supporting Nepalese sovereignty and the Chinese military in Nepalese territory in 2015.”
“It seems this time however, that Chinese troops here to stay. Gone are the large sacks of rice and boxes of bottled water. Replaced by boxes of ammunition and crates of weapons. UNICEF aid having been replaced by the Chinese versions of HDR’s.”
“The Nepalese military and the government in Kathmandu have been largely silent over the 2015 conflict and the 2018 invasion, more or less having capitulated to the People’s Liberation Army. The Indian government though, appears to be a more harsh and blunt critic. In a statement from Delhi; Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi calling the invasion “A blatant violation of international law.” Outside observers view the 2015 conflict and the growing tensions between India and China to be a proxy war between two nuclear powers in Asia.”
