During the Tang dynasty the Chinese envoy Wang Xuance led an army of Nepalese and Tibetans to defeat an usurper in the Indian Kingdom of Magadha.

Nepal's historical relations with China (and Tibet) have been shaped by conflicts over territory and the control of Tibet. After the Nepal-Tibet-China War (1789-1792), Nepal was forced to sign a treaty stipulating the payment of tribute to China after the latter defeated Nepalese forces in Tibet. China refused Nepal's request for assistance during Anglo-Nepalese War (1814–16), and the latter's defeat led to the establishment of the British Empire in India, the dominant power in the region.Nepal continued to try to balance the influence of China and British India. Through the tenth quinquennial mission to China (1837), Under the leadership of Chautariya Pushkar Shah, the Nepalese government had requested for the Qing court to either send troops or send subsidy of twenty million rupees to oppose British, but the Nepalese delegation was said to have met with a stern refusal of its petition for monetary aid, and opposition to the furtherance of hostility by Nepal against the British. Nepal invaded Tibet in 1855, but the Nepalese-Tibetan War ended soon after China intervened, the Treaty of Thapathali, concluded in March 1856, recognized the special status of China and Nepal's commitment to help Tibet in the event of foreign aggression. In the 19th century, Nepal aligned itself with the British Raj in India and supported its invasion of Tibet in 1908. When China sought to claim Tibet in 1910, Nepal sided with Tibet and Britain and broke relations with China after Tibet drove Chinese forces out in 1911
