Its because of India, willy nilly always ready to protect Nepal, that you would as usual play your China card. No good deed goes unpunished.

Had there been no India and only a commmunist China knocking at your door, I doubt you would have been so enthusiastic about the Nepal's close relationship to China that you would so proudly flaunt the minor architectural semblance of Buddhist temples as proof of Chinese cultural affinity for Nepal. You would fear that the same proof can very well be used by China to claim that Nepal was always part of China just like Tibet.

i dont make up the stuff. I just study it. Books are a better source of history than the net. Nepali royalty , tibetan and chinese ones used to intermarry. that says a lot. Nepali royalty also married indian royalty but to a much lesser extent.
by the way the temple i showed you was not a buddhist one it was pashupati nath (shiva) a hindu one. outsiders are not allowed or allowed to take photos but there is a buddha statue inside too. It is also the main temple of the country and reportedly houses part of one of shiva's avatars. Swyambu is the other major stupa and that is buddhist.



the two are usually superimposed to represent the country. like this :


so you see, you are ignorant and just making yourself look like a fool.
