I have also wondered whether the PRC was behind the Maoists within Nepal. The world would not tolerate an overt invasion of Nepal today as they did with Tibet 40 years ago- we see this now with Taiwan. However, the much slower process of creating and fomenting over time, a civil war in a 3rd world country would(and currently is) overlooked by many in the west. Sad and pathetic at the same time. This is merely an educated guess on my part; I have no proof.....but the logic(for lack of a better word) is very compelling. The fees from tourism would go 100% to China, versus the fraction they now have for their side of the Himalayas. China(the PRC) is one of the most repressive regimes ever to exist on the face of the earth, and yet we grant them MFN status. I must be missing something here. Brian
