#1 ...The Nepalese Army is small, but professional - trouble is that the Indian Army vastly outnumbers and outguns it, and they're even more professional. I'm hoping that this is for domestic political consumption and not a effort to take advantage of India while they're staring down the Chinese - it won't end well at all.

#2 The silver of land this is all about (surrendered to the East India Company by treaty 170 years ago) allows India supply access to hundreds of km of the LAC defacto border with Chinese occupied Tibet. The Nepali PM Oli, who is losing support from his own Communist Party cadres, has seized upon this issue both to shore up domestic opinion and to curry favor with China.

#3 Basically the Nepalis have an issue with a 170 year old treaty demarcation now in 2020 because India has recently built roads and other infrastructure that allow it to defend the LAC from the PLA.

#5 The Nepal government is run by the Nepal Communist Party -founded in 2018 under CCP guidance by unification of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist) and Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre). So yes, CCP puppets.
