Abstract

Generally speaking, hedging strategy is used to describe the choice of Southeast Asian countries in the strategic competition between China and the United States. With the intensification of competition between China and India, this concept has also been extended to the strategic choice of South Asian secondary countries. This paper defines hedging as a complex strategic situation and chooses Nepal, which is very special in its geographical location and has a deep dependence on China and India, as the research object of hedging in the secondary countries in South Asia to explore the reasons for its choice of hedging, as well as the benefits of the Nepal Belt under the hedging strategy and the domestic factor h dilemma of Nepal.
