The Australian Lowy Institute published an index of influence in Southeast Asia. China narrowly tops the list, mainly due to economic gravity.

China has an overall influence score of 65 out of 100, a one-point lead over its nearest rival, the United States. It is the most influential power in six out of the eleven Southeast Asian countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam). Our study confirms that economic influence is Beijing’s strongest card in Southeast Asia. Its score for this measure is nearly double that of the United States. It is the most important economic partner for all individual countries except Laos (where Thailand leads, by virtue of its trade relationship) and Timor-Leste, where Beijing continues to have a minimal footprint.

The "corruption" excuse is typically used by the US to enact their regime change operations. They did the same in the Orange and Rose color revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia.
There is nothing "organic" about the Nepal protests.
It is just the normal CIA and NED style operation.

Nepal used to be a base of operations by the CIA to train Tibetan insurgents.

But you forget that the Nepalese King Birenda was the one who destroyed the insurgents when Beijing asked and don't forget the reason why Nepal didn't do anything was that they had no choice. There is a Nepalese princess that lives in China by the name of 阿克拜尔·古力特/Akbar Gullit so Nepal wouldn't be issue. They're more likely to attack Bhutan (Lhotshampa aka Nepalese people who expelled from Bhutan)and India than China at all.
