BRI On Political Radar Again

China’s trillion-dollar global project - Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) - is once again on the political radar in Nepal ahead of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s visit to China slated for December 2 to 5.

As the BRI discourse comes to the fore, some political parties apply geopolitical lens in thwarting progress against it.
