Excellent comment by Maitreya Bhakal: for Indians, the old cope was "India will be the next China". Now the new cope is "China wants to prevent India's rise".

I do not think China purposely wants to prevent India's rise. On the contrary, India does want to prevent China's rise, as India sees everything as a zero sum game, much like the West. I do think China should purposely prevent India's rise. India is a nation that has learned all the wrong reasons and lessons from its colonial past. Rather than help global south countries and itself break free from economic, political, social, and psychological colonialism, India WANTS to be the next imperial power. For example, India has adopted all the terrible democratic values of the West, such as political grifting, political corruption through the oligarchs, directed propogandas at both domestic and foreign entities--one look at the scope of India's internal problems and it almost mirrors the West almost 1:1--combine that with India's domestic cultural ills and you have a very nasty aspiration for the next imperial power. Another example, is their hidden inferiority complex, manifested as a need to have the reversed role of white supremacy through this Hindutva Nationalism, to justify and play up the significance and role of Indian contribution to human progress to create a sense of self-value. You see this in action through the pictures of white people as servants/homemakers, their absurd proclamations to have created technologies from the past that Europeans and others "stole," or adopted later, or the need to revise their history to claim the Taj Mahal was built by Hindus, rather the truth be told, it was built by an Islamic Emperor Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire. This new Hindu Nationalism, is yet another terrible lesson learned from European history in the period of the rise of Nationalism that culminated into 20th century rise of Nazi Germany and the desire to create an Aryan race.
For China, and all its neighbors, India is and should be regarded as an existential threat, because India DO have expansionist aspirations, and, why India has time and time again failed to resolve the border issue with China is not because the border issue can not be resolved, but because they do not want to resolve it. Therefore, for China and India's neighbors, should all work to balkanize India, if the global South is to have peace in the future, and China is to avoid having a powerful existential threat in the south western region that can also potentiall ally itself with other powerful enemies of China--because a powerful India will also mean Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and China's Tibet region will all be under India's expansionist aspirations to create a greater India in teh same bane as Israel's desire to create a greater Israel--no coincidence they are allies for that matter.
