Nepal is a Himalayan nation bordering China and India. It's newsworthy due to several recent developments. China is increasing investment in Nepal's hydropower sector, aiming to potentially sell power to India. Nepal is also grappling with the spread of AI-generated deepfakes in the lead-up to national elections, raising concerns about misinformation. Furthermore, traditional cultural events like annual bullfights continue, although animal rights activists are urging for their abandonment. These events highlight Nepal's position as a country navigating economic opportunities, technological challenges, and cultural preservation.
