The Renaming of Tibet and Its International Implications
The article discusses the meeting between US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in California, where Biden referred to Xi as a 'dictator'. It also covers China's renaming of Tibet to 'Xizang' and the release of a white paper by China's State Council Information Office, which outlines the governance of the Xizang Autonomous Region and praises China's development achievements in the region. The Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala has rejected the white paper, criticizing it for downplaying Tibet's distinct political identity. The article further details China's efforts to promote the term 'Xizang' internationally, with visits by Chinese officials to Nepal and Sri Lanka. The author reflects on the implications of these developments for Tibet's identity and for India's relations with its neighbors.

The opposition Kuomintang (KMT), which advocates for closer ties with China, failed to gain significant traction. The article also discusses the broader geopolitical implications, including the potential for U.S. involvement in the event of a Chinese invasion and the rising unpopularity of China in other regions. It calls for India to reconsider its stance on the One China policy in light of these developments.

Communist Parties’ Victory in Nepal May Signal Closer China Ties
Communist parties in Nepal, led by former prime ministers Pushpa Kamal Dahal and K. P. Sharma Oli, have won a majority in the country's largest democratic exercise, signaling potential closer ties with China. The defeat of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba's Nepali Congress party may lead to significant foreign policy shifts, particularly reversing decisions like the cancellation of a Chinese hydropower project. Nepal's recent history of political turmoil, natural disasters, and ethnic protests has shaped the current political landscape. The elections, despite threats from Maoist militants, were largely peaceful, with voters expressing cautious optimism for stability and fulfillment of campaign promises.

Conservationists urge caution as Nepal to gift more rhinos to China
Nepal has committed to gifting two more greater one-horned rhinos to China, a decision made during Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s visit to Beijing. Conservationists urge caution in selecting the rhinos, suggesting orphaned calves accustomed to human interaction as ideal candidates. Nepal has previously gifted rhinos to various countries, and the selection process involves separating newborns from their mothers, a challenging task for conservationists. The Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation is yet to decide which rhinos to send.

Bumps ahead: Prachanda becomes Nepal’s PM but uncertainty looms

Now the Social Revolution Can Begin
Nepal has experienced significant political and social changes over the past decades, transitioning from a monarchy to a democratic republic. Despite ongoing political instability and challenges in drafting a new constitution, the recent national election offers hope for the future. The rise of marginalized castes and ethnicities, such as the Madhesi and Dalits, marks a social revolution that could reshape Nepalese society. The push for federalism, supported by the Maoists and resisted by conservative parties, remains a contentious issue. The recent election, despite attempts at disruption by hardline Maoist splinter groups, was a success, indicating a public desire for stability and progress.

Not as easy as it seems
The UML-Maoist alliance, despite winning a near two-thirds majority in recent elections, faced uncertainty in delivering political stability. Maoist Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal initially pushed for rotational prime ministership with UML's KP Oli but later agreed to let Oli complete a full term. The unification deal between Nepal's two largest communist parties does not mention rotational leadership but suggests Dahal may eventually lead the unified party. Analysts believe Dahal's decision will yield political dividends, potentially positioning him as a future prime minister. The unification raises questions about the party's future direction, with both leaders having distanced themselves from their extremist pasts. Oli, now one of Nepal's strongest prime ministers, is expected to focus on nation-building.
