[quote:Anonymous Coward 35931834:MV81MDUzMTg5XzkyNTk0NjI2X0ExQUNCMDVC] [b]Opponents of US plan to develop infrastructure in Nepal fear it comes with a military presence attached[/b] Police in Nepal used tear gas and water cannons on protesters who demonstrated on Sunday against a controversial government plan to get $500 million in assistance from the US. Critics see it as a kind of trojan horse that would be used to drag the small Himalayan nation into Washington’s great power competition with China. The rioting in Nepal’s capital, Kathmandu, took place after the government submitted to parliament an agreement, under which the US would invest hundreds of millions of dollars into the country’s infrastructure. The move came despite opposition by two communist parties from the five-party ruling coalition, who have long been questioning the deal. MPs opposing it chanted slogans during the session, as security guards blocked them from reaching a government minister presenting the agreement.
