China’s BRI in Nepal burdened with hollow promises as Rasuwagadhi border remains closed

RASUWAGADHI: In what can be termed as a blatant violation of its own commitment, China has tightened its grip at the Rasuwagadhi-Kerung border point, which was brought into operation declaring it as a major international border under its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The Rasuwagadhi border — opened on December 1, 2014 — was announced as an international border on August 30, 2017.
