CHINA-NEPAL: CHINA CRITICISES NEPAL'S DECISION TO JOIN USA'S MILLENIUM CHALLENGE INITIATIVE
|
As Nepal's parliament on February 27 approved joining the US$ 500 million Millenium
Challenge initiative despite Chinese pressure, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that
the U.S. aid would come with political strings attached. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman
Hua Chunying told a regular news briefing in Beijing on March 2 “I’m afraid it will turn out
like a Nepalese saying, ‘It looks good, but you will find the meat difficult to chew.’ ”
