You are right. It is highly beneficial for us to suck off China, rather than India.

But lets take an out of body experience and put ourselves in the Chinese shoes. Are they dying to start off a relationship with us? They havent given two shits about us for the past 200 years, and suddenly now they should? Did we find a stash of Uranium somewhere in our land? Nopes. 

Now lets take a much more global view to try and understand this country, our neighbor. Blocks Google, Youtube, Twitter because they don't want to provide freedom of speech to their citizens.

It is also reluctant to acknowledge that Tibetans are not happy with their current situation and are reluctant to actually do anything to improve it. In other words, they don't give a fk while there's blatant human rights violations going on left and right. They might actually hate Tibetans cause of all the successful attention that the immolations have drawn from activist groups throughout. That is one possible reason they're helping us build the rumored 750MW dam on the Seti river. So that they can control how we implement policies regarding TIbetans.

Now lets delve into some personal experiences. Chinese people trust Chinese people. How many Nepalis do you see working in a Chinese gas-station or at a Chinese restaurant? They just love us dont they? I've spoken to more than a few Chinese STUDENTS. After introductions most of them always ask where Nepal is. When I tell them we're neighbors, they act genuinely suprized. 

What you are talking about, nepali_bitich, is equivalent to a fly sitting on a bull's head, thinking it's giving him extra burden, wheras the bull doesnt even remotely realize that there's a fly on its head. 

They might be rich, powerful, but they dont have an incentive to help us. India doesnt either, we just allow them to take advantage of us. We need to help ourselves.
