#1 Crappy deal for the Nepalese. Most of them don't care about voting and politics; tending the flock is what gets them up in the morning. Of course, Maoist agitators are flooding the villages promising 40 acres and a mule, and the Chinese sphere of influence grows bigger.

It's a bad deal for all. Natives are treated as sheep for China, and China has another "problem" to contend with when the backlash ensues. As if they don't have enough "problems" already.
