China Pledges Urgent Emergency Aid to Nepal After Deadly Landslide A devastating landslide in Tibet's Gyirong county has left five dead and 558 missing, while neighboring Nepal reported 469 fatalities and nearly 1,000 unaccounted for.
In response, China has pledged to send "urgent emergency assistance" to Nepal. This aid package must be viewed within the context of the broader Sino Indian rivalry.
The relationship between these two nations is complex, with both vying for influence in the region.
