China's Influence in India's Neighborhood

China has gotten itself involved in almost all the states and India's neighborhood. In Pakistan, there's something called the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor CPEC. Similarly, it has engagements in building a port in Sri Lanka. There are military ties developing between China and Bangladesh. Nepal is again sort of there. The ties are warming up. But A, that's inevitable because all of these countries are opening their economies. Up in China being one of the world's big economies is bound to happen. And then unless India reaches an economic strength as much as China, we can't do that.
