It looks like Nepal is going to be the next victim of China.

LUCKNOW: The Shashastra Seema Bal (SSB), manning the sensitive 550-km India-Nepal Border in the two states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, has informed the Centre about a rise in number of Chinese Learning Centres (CLCs) operating in schools in Nepal's border villages.
The SSB feels that the mushrooming CLCs which are linked to providing employment in major projects in highways, railways and airports undertaken by China in Nepal could be part of a larger Chinese plan to unleash a perception war against India.
SSB sources say from a handful of CLCs, the number has risen many times in the last three-four years. They say they have learnt about a trend of holding anti-India discussions on private FM channels on the UP side of Indo-Nepal Border. The sources say these CLCs are concentrated mainly in border districts like Kanchepuru, Kailalo, Bardiya, Bankey, Daang and Kapilavastu, rather than mainland Nepal.
"We have informed the Centre about probable Chinese designs and the repercussions of CLCs increasing across the border," SSB IGP Avinash Chandra tells TOI. He, however, refuses to disclose the number of CLCs operating at present.
Chandra says even border pillars along the border have got uprooted over the last few years. "The SSB has increased its border outposts to 176 and deployed more manpower. It is using new software for surveillance along the border," says Chandra.
"We have begun a counter-offensive by initiating confidence building measures," says an SSB official, not wanting to be named.
