He has sought to strengthen relations with China as an alternative to Nepal's over-reliance on India and was instrumental in updating the map of Nepal by constitutional amendment including territories disputed with India, for which he has been widely praised and called a nationalist. Oli has been criticized for his overuse of tongue-in-cheek remarks and a hostility towards his critics as well as his inability to deliver on his ideas and promises despite a historic majority in the 2017 legislative election.
