(Simon "Shen [of the Hong Kong Institute of Education] admits his findings might magnify and distort the views of ordinary Chinese, partly because extreme nationalism is one of the few avenues open for a Chinese citizen to criticize the Communist Party. But in contrast to views about the United States and Japan, he found negative views of India remarkably homogenous between liberal and nationalist discussion forums.")

Quote:

"It [hosting the Dalai Lama in world Buddhism conclave] was something of a victory for India in what observers increasingly see as a contest with China to win the favor of Buddhists around the world. India is the land where Buddha gained enlightenment and taught, but China has the largest population of Buddhists today.

Compared with China, "India may not be splashing quite so much cash, but it is also trying to burnish its credentials, observers say, regularly sponsoring Buddhist conferences across Asia and at home.
