Indeed it is a high gamble for the king.
"China, characteristically, has described events in Nepal as an "internal affair", but conspiracy theorists in India already suspect Beijing's intentions."
Well, China also considers Indian rule in Sikkim as "internal affair", and India returns the favor by saying Tibet to be the same.

IIRC, the King has not been king long; wasn't there some kind of story out of Nepal where the previous king shot his wife and then killed himself, or some such thing, and the present king is his brother?
