Nepal Nixes an Academic Conference
A planned in-person conference bringing together hundreds of scholars of Tibetan studies is cancelled amid pressure from China — another worrying case of transnational leverage by China over free academic exchange.

Nepal Television is Nepal’s state-owned national broadcaster, established in January 1985 as the country’s first television network. The broadcaster operates five channels and produces news, documentaries, entertainment programs, and educational content, serving audiences nationwide across terrestrial, satellite, cable, and digital platforms. In December 2024, Nepal Television signed a memorandum of understanding with China Media Group (CMG) on communication technology during Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli’s official visit to China.
