(i) china and india are close neighbors geographically
(ii) the people on either side of a very big mountain know less about each other than they know about ... almost any other country

(iii) the indians with whom i had met come in many ranks and enough varieties, and all seem to view china as a geo competitor that is doing ok in a temporary sense, as in the same can and will happen in india if india would just do more of what india has been doing for longer elapsed time

(iv) some indians are beginning to have doubts

(v) i know some chinese here there and just about everywhere, and very few had ever brought up the topic of india, and with those who seems to know what they are talking about, the feeling seems to be that the indians are either (a) intelligent and will figure out whatever is to be figured out, and/or (b) folks best not to deal in trade with, because their reliability is lacking perhaps due to either systemic that and this, or because of lack in infrastructure and organization

(vi) some chinese are choosing to deal with the indians so as to defeat other chinese in business

(vii) some energy cooperation efforts are happening

(viii) the mountain is not as high as before

(ix) the setup is changing

and so, the official policy is as i mentioned, "watch india" in both the positive and negative senses.
