Are you into conspiracy theories? The very idea that China intends to grab Nepal like it did Tibet is so ludicrous, it is laughable.
Sure, China has annexed territories in the past that it felt it was historically linked to, but to infer from that that Nepal will be next is absurd. The Chinese are having enough problems with Tibet and the Uighyrs to want to bother anyone else. In fact, there is a view within China, a minority view now, but that is bound to grow if China becomes a democracy, that the Chinese need to revert back to their original borders.
However, that aside, your argument is still very silly, and offers nothing to support it except the wildest conjecture. The Naxalites and the Nepalese Maoists have nothing in common with the people running China right now; the whole idea that China is giving them weapons so that they can defeat India is again, laughable. China knows India is going to be a fellow superpower and wants amicable relations with it--believe me the Chinese today are nothing if not practical.
So, try not to fall for the foolish conspiracy theories running around, and try not to spread fear.

Your idea of China being friendly to a 'fellow superpower' is loughable too.
You need to read some books regarding the history power rivalry that is going on between India and China since they became republics about 55 years back.
Moreover, superpowers sharing common borders, that too disputed, may be friendly outwardly, but underlined rivalry/competition will go on and on.
Live in your dream land. For your information-China holds 12000 sq kilometers of Indian land. In addition, it hold part of Kashmir-a gift from Pakistan. It has one of the Andaman islands, which our beloved Nehru gave to Burma, which in turn is occupied by China. China has surged in Himachal Pradesh. Probably lot more is there, with the leftist news papers, and pseudo secular leftist Govts. at the helm of affairs, we have to scramble for news. Future generations pay a dear price with their lives and lively hood, for the problems created by the evading leaders who get away as Mahatmas. Of course, we have a way of not giving out the news as if nothing has hapened. Vijaya Kumar
