I guess you would prefer China to give you food rather than the US. Forget party politics for a moment and reflect on democracy for once. Freedom is more valuable than food !!!

She is one of the best US diplomats. What she did to Chinese involvement in Nepal is a classic example for her caliber. We're do not want to get caught in the Chinese scary debt trap any longer.

Our country lost disciplined statesmen.Present leaders cant even rule a Animal Farm or Poultry Farm,properly, because they give preference for their personal agenda more thananything.
