As two geographically adjacent Countries who share a similar history of being invaded by foreign Countries, China and India, supported each other during the revolution of independence in each Country, and had enjoyed good friendship for ages in history, however, because of the narrowed Indian nationalism, the bi-lateral relationship between China and India is not always smooth ever since both Country had gained independence.
