Again it can be claimed that Qing dynasty after the opium wars was nothing but a puppet to the British empire when it had to accept all the conditions enforced by the British empire(and French as well) - the time period coinciding with the absolute rule by British in India after throwing away the Mughal dynasty once for all(in 1857).
So in short the form may be different but it is a similar fate for both China and India.
Actually, China and India started in a different place. India subcontinent was not a nation so Britain had to create it. China was already a nation but was weak, like Ottoman empire at the same time.
