BBC: China encroaching along Nepal border - report
A Nepalese government report leaked to the BBC accuses China of encroaching into Nepal along the two countries' shared border.
It is the first time there have been official claims from Nepal of Chinese interference in its territory.
The report was commissioned last September following claims that China has been trespassing in the district of Humla, in the far west of Nepal.
China's embassy in Kathmandu denies there has been any encroachment.
The Nepalese government has not yet responded to queries from the BBC.
It is unclear why the report has not yet been published.
But the Nepalese government has over recent years improved ties with China to counterbalance its long-standing relationship with India, its giant neighbour to the south.

Getting bigger won't necessarily fix a broken or inefficient system. You always want more resources, but sometimes you have to be like Singapore, a trading entrepot. You perform work, and you add value, the resources come to you.
