India, Nepal and now Bhutan are all democratic. That won't have been unnoticed in certain quarters and by certain people. A shift in the thought process could well occur concerning China's Himalayan policy.

China sent a few princesses to marry Tibetan monarchs. Nepal sent 16 over the years. Tibetan Buddhism came from Nepal. And when Nepal holds its election, better watch out. Bhutan culture is also very similar to Nepal and Tibet too. However, China is still not ready for democracy. China is so much bigger than Bhutan. But doesn't India has elections too. So, is size the problem ? Did anyone ever mention that Tibetan culture is much closer to Nepalese than Chinese ? China sent a few princesses to marry Tibetan monarchs. Nepal sent 16 over the years.
