One of the major difference bw India's & China's foreign policy is that India uses only "carrot", while China(and US) uses both "carrot" & "stick".
That's why smaller countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives & others keep 'poking' into India's eyes.

Take B'desh for example :
On one hand, India is celebrating "Maitri Diwas",
On the other, B'desh is 2nd largest buyer of Chinese arms & blackmails India by playing "China Card", B'deshi diaspora in US is very Anti-India, Hindus are regularly targeted in B'desh, etc.

Also, illegal unskilled B'deshis infiltrating India (compare how US treats illegal immigrants at Mexico border).
Not to forget - In 1971, China, Lanka, US & entire West was supporting Pakistan, while India & USSR was ALONE fighting for Bangladesh - Bangladeshis forgot this all.

Bangladesh 'famous' textile industry - If India stops exporting low cost high quality raw cotton to B'desh & roll out a PLI scheme to set up new garment factories in India - then B'desh garment industries will crash in one month.
Same goes for Nepal, Sri Lanka & Maldives.
India has sacrificed much for these countries & their economy directly depends on India but they still tries to undermine Indian interests & portrays India as some "bully" in the region.

Whereas, India has NO desire to encroach neighbor's land or to harm their interests.
India want just one thing in return - these countries should NOT harm India's interests.
Is it so hard for our neighbors to understand this ??
