Does Mount Everest belong to China or Nepal?

The southern part of Mount Everest belongs to Nepalese and the northern part belongs to China.

Mount Everest is 8848.86 meters above sea level, which is recognized as the highest peak in the world. Mount Qomolangma, located in the middle of the Himalayas, runs east-west, and is located at the junction of China and Nepal, which is regarded as a mountain range by both peoples. Before 1950s, Mount Everest was a natural barrier between China and Nepal. At that time, the ownership of Mount Everest was not clearly defined.

1955 when China and Nepal established diplomatic relations, the boundary between the two countries needed to be clarified urgently, and the ownership of Mount Everest was the most difficult. The northern part of Mount Everest is located in Tibet, China, while the southern part is located in Nepal. It seems to be a question of ownership, which represents the diplomatic relations between China and Nepal. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to a deadlock in Sino-Nepalese diplomacy.

Milestone achievement

In the past, when the relationship between China and Nepal was not very good, climbing Mount Everest seemed to require visas from both China and Nepal. It's not necessary now. There are many commercial mountaineering teams in Nepal because the south slope is difficult. As long as you pass the physical examination and are qualified to climb the extreme peak above 8000 meters, he can get you up.

The China-Nepal Border Treaty is a landmark achievement of China-Nepal border negotiations, and it also marks the basic end of China-Nepal border negotiations. Mount Everest is the belief of the two peoples and a symbol of Sino-Nepalese friendship, so it is also called "China-Nepal Friendship Peak". China practiced the diplomatic concept of "peace * * *" with practical actions, and China's great power style and demeanor floated on the 8,000m Mount Everest, which was passed down from generation to generation.
