Looks like even the smallest nation involved in the border dispute is willing to stand up to India. India is the real bully. Now practically every nation surrounding India hates them. Except for Bhutan. I deliberately didn't include Bangladesh because there are hints of the army's uneasiness and Indian puppet Hasina's days may be numbered.

I agree with every sentence of your post.
But regarding Bhutan, they are the same. Bhutan just lack the ability of Pakistan to resist India pressure. Bhutan is too small, too fragile. They knew their best chance of survival is flattering Indians.
On the other hand, Bhutan enforced the law on Bhutan national/ethnic clothes, restrict tourism of Indians with lifting the bar.
Bhutan benefit a lot from Doklam standoff, they knew it's the best chance to get rid of India control a little bit.
The border between China and Bhutan is some highest mountains on earth just like Nepal. Bhutan/Nepal knew China intention very clearly, China only want to make sure Bhutan/Nepal survive and independent. China has zero interest to cross the highest snow mountain on earth to invade those two countries. Their real threat are Indians.
Nepal can stand up with China's back. Bhutanese must be very careful, they don't want to repeat Sikkim.
Bangladesh is taking advantage of Pakistan India conflicts. India is busying on Pakistan, so Bangladesh can enjoy some freedom from India controllling.
Bangladesh geography is very flat, can NOT resist Indian invasion. Also India is holding their water tap on Brahmaputra River. It's really scary to them, especially when Indians are doing water divert projects on the upper stream.
But as you can see, Bangladesh is buying China tanks as well. They knew one day India will try to knee on their throat as well when India is strong enough to attack both Pakistan and Bangladesh. It's just about time.
