No, you definitely give a shit about your largest neighbor. Difference is your media is tightly controlled and monitored. The CCP pushes agendas through their media. Not Chinese media, its CCP. All controlled by the party for the party. India the media is not so tightly controlled. They are free to jump over to report on any absurd story.
Talked to professors from Singapore and China on this, we we got talking about China. They believe that CCP stereotypes India with media for the mass Chinese to argue against democracy. Because its easy to say to anti CCP pro democracy supporters, you want democracy, look at India. And if your image of India is poor destitute nation of Saharan Africa. It gives legitimacy to CCP rule. Disowning the fact the Taiwan also is more developed with a democratic elections, albeit only recently. India has no hidden agenda on this media war. They will talk about China if it sells. What sells more is Pakistani topic. Terrorism and religion.
Dude, India is not our largest neighbor......Russia is. The majority of Chinese population live in the costal areas. The far east is a powder keg had already drew us a lot of attentions. India is just a remote country which sits behind Tibet and Himalayas. And Tibet only has 3 million population. Give me a reason why would our media talk about India more often than North Korea, Japan, Taiwan, South China sea and of course the USA. The truth is our medias ignore India not because the CCP order them to do so, we really don't care about India. It is too far and irrelevant.
