LA Times article addresses the new Nepali Prime Minister's foreign policy approach with India and China in light of the Wikileaks documents released in December 2010. The audio files have evidence that Nepali border police are sending Tibetans back to China, paid off by the Chinese government. The claims that these audio records are true have been denied by both sides.
Prithvi Narayan Shah, Nepal's Gorkha unifier (conquerer?) coined the phrase, "Yam between two boulders." This phrase continues to be tossed around today to describe the delicate relationship between these three countries. The Tibet issue is a bargaining chip China can freely use when negotiating with Nepal government - especially the factions that value strong ties with China.
