Ehh, the US definitely has an interest in meddling in a country on China's border.
But Nepal hardly needs help to stir up these protests, after the Nepalese Civil War ended in the overthrow of the monarchy, the Maoist movement effectively betrayed the revolution, and entered into a power sharing agreement, within a liberal, parliamentary system.
That system has been deeply dysfunctional since 2006, with every major issue being punted by the constitutional court until some nebulous later date.
That coupled with economic stagnation, and the contradictions finally boiling over.
