China has played the India card absolute right from their point of view. It was India, particularly the Modi government has gone over board to show friendship with Xi Jinping.
Yes, you can say Xi JInping also extended the hand of friendship. But that is for their trade benefit. During first five of Modi government the import from China almost got doubled, but no increase in export from India. What did we got in return for show of friendship ? China continuously stood against India in every international forum in support of Pakistan. China objected to PM Modi, Anit Shah, Rajnath Singh visiting Arunachal Pradesh. China has been absolutely consistent in its anti India policy. Xi Jingping can say to his nation proudly, that he has not conceded anything to India, his act of friendship is purely a business deal. I don’t know what our PM has to say about his friendship with Chinese president, or what India gained?
China raised strong objection Dalai Lam’s meeting with the then President of India Prnab Mukherjee at the Rashtrapathi Bhavan in 2016 warning disturbance in ties.
Every time India asked for designation of Azhar as a “global terrorist,” China vetoed the move; this happened in 2009, 2016, 2017, and recently in March 2019. India was seriously pushing for Azhar's listing since the Mumbai attacks, but every time China placed a “hold” on the issue. China blocked Masood Azhar’s listing as global terrorist for the fourth time .
Its China who called UNSC meeting against India’s abrogation of Article 370, that too on two occasion.
US, UK, France and Russia have backed India's permanent membership bid in the UNSC, but China, which has veto power, has been stonewalling New Delhi's efforts for years. China downplays Russia backing India’s bid for UNSC permanent membership, says no consensus
China ruled out India's entry into NSG (Nuclear supply group) without 'consensus' on allowing non-NPT countries. China has repeatedly blocked India's entry into the 48-member grouping which regulates the global nuclear commerce. Ever since India applied for the membership of the NSG in May 2016, China has been insisting that only those countries which have signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) should be allowed to enter the organisation. Whereas the other P5 members( UNSC permanent members), including the US and Russia backed its case based on New Delhi's non-proliferation record. Everybody knows that NTP is discriminatory in it policy where the P5 countries are having exclusive right to conduct nuclear test. Whereas the other signatories will lose the right to conduct any test. Which India is opposing.
China continuously and constantly instigating the neighboring countries against India. The list includes almost all our neighboring countries. The recent controversies with Nepal is also because of Chinese influence.
Moreover China is expanding its foot hold in the Indian ocean. China has significantly expanded its engagements in the Indian Ocean region over the past three decades, raising fears among American and Indian strategists that its growing naval presence, together with its use of so-called “debt-trap diplomacy,” might provide it with meaningful military advantages far from its shores.
Beijing has augmented its naval strength, with expansion of its submarine fleet and aircraft carriers. Its aim is clearly to strengthen its overall presence in the Indian Ocean. It is enhancing the capacity of its Djibouti Naval base, on the shores of East Africa, to dock an aircraft carrier there, after launching its second aircraft carrier on December 17. China is set to acquire another five or six aircraft carriers, each capable of carrying up to 36 fighter aircraft. It is also fast augmenting its submarine fleet. These acquisitions will give China the capacity to intervene militarily across the Indian Ocean.
All these China is doing without caring or bothering least about what India thinks. And China is right in its own might, if it can counter US, why should it care about India?
