There is a ruckus in Nepal after the Gen-Z movement. After the violence and arson, the law and order came to a complete standstill, after which Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned from his post. The army has taken possession of security institutions to prevent chaos spread across the country including Kathmandu. After the coup in Nepal, the first response from China has come out.

China appealed to all parties to maintain peace
China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Lynn Gian said in a press conference that China and Nepal are traditionally good friends and neighbors. He hoped that all the sections of Nepal would solve domestic issues sensibly and social system and regional stability will be restored as soon as possible. Lynn Gian also said that China does not want to comment on Oli’s resignation at the moment. Oli is considered a pro-China leader and played an important role in strengthening Nepal-China strategic relations.

China also paid attention to the safety of citizens
Lynn Gian made it clear that no Chinese citizen has died in Nepal so far. He advised the Chinese to take care of his safety and said that they should not go out unnecessarily. With this, China has started emergency security arrangements at its Embassy in Nepal. He also told that if the situation worsened, the citizens should immediately contact the embassy in Nepal, China.

Oli attended the SCO summit
Prime Minister Oli recently participated in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) conference and military parade on World War II. But Oli had to resign after a large scale protests in Nepal, in which 19 people died in police action. The ban imposed on social media was also lifted later.
