I don't recall seeing this on Freerepublic.com. Fascinating story in re: trigger-happy communist Chinese

The question is, what in the hell are the ChiComs doing in Nepal?

[monday]

Deserters who were probably trying to rob them. My guess anyway.

[swarthyguy]

Financiers and suppliers to the Nepalese Maoists, The Chinese seek to claim Nepal, and unleash a guerrilla war in the Northeast of India with the help of the Pakistani ISI.

LOL, the whole world knows that China has nothing to do with the Maoist rebels in Nepal, and that it is the Maoist Communist groups in India that are supporting and financing the Nepali Maoists

In fact, the King of Nepal paid an official visit to China a few months ago, and worked out joint cooperation against the rebels and got Chinese military aids

Reading all the Worlds' foreign affairs journals indicate that Nepal and China enjoy excellent relationships

3 scenarios ;

the locality overlooks sensitive Chinese military installations , on China's side of the borders

from their distance, the Chinese soldiers could not tell who the climbers were

They were only warning shots

You wrote...LOL, the whole world knows that China has nothing to do with the Maoist rebels in Nepal

Maybe then, they should call themselves the Gandhian rebels or the Nehruvian rebels...they for some weird reason, call themselves Maoist...after a Chinese butcher who wanted to dominate the world.
