In recent times Nepal-China relations have strengthened significantly, reaching new heights as Leaders of both countries have come out publicly stating their support for each other. They have also engaged in a number of joint ventures one of which was a joint announcement of the new height of Mount Everest, measured to be 8,848m approximately 86 meters higher than the previous figure provided by a survey conducted by India in 1954. The importance of mount Everest as a symbolism of the friendship between China and Nepal is highlighted by this and many past events related to the study and preservation of this UNESCO World Heritage Centre. The border dispute between the two countries were settled in 1961 shortly after a year long commission was formed to create a more accurate and precise border boundary. 

Furthermore, Chinese Companies are doing construction of two biggest International Airport project of Nepal under EPCF model. China has also expressed its desire to stop Nepalese Gurkhas from enlisting into the Indian army. This is but one of many goals that China wishes to achieve in allegiance with Nepal as they move to protect themselves from the nation of India, which they both view as less than friendly.
