You are the one projecting now, the OP isn't saying Chinese heads are filled with these 24/7 rent-free, but these are their feelings.

Indians thought even less about china than china about India like 7-8 years ago. Indian public actually started noticing this country when China started being aggressive and an asshole. I come in your house break your stuff then should I call you "obsessed with me" for being concerned?

I will tell you a story that will help you see the change in Indian opinion.

I remember there was a discussion on China (it was a pretty neutral discussion), I said something along "china is actually an asshole country, and India should never trust them. Its better to think of them as enemies."

I also talked about how India and china are destined to be enemies and Indians in the future will hate/despise china much more than Pakistan. Doesn't sound much controversial right? well, it was back in those days I believe. It was an obvious trend If you had seen their mentality, future global trends on economics and resources, and also how they treat their neighbors.

I wrote more things explaining this but the point is I received hoards of Indians defending china. Calling me things like "a minority who doesn't like china", "Indians love china we are friends you are brainwashed by west","No one hates china in India you are wrong", "ignorant idiot" etc.

I received messages for years occasionally about how I view china incorrectly and how Indians actually love china and I'm an ignorant minority who makes India look bad to our friendly/brotherly chinese "friends".

That was like 6 years ago, Indians had a relatively neutral view of China. I have not received any message telling me i was wrong since like 3 years now. Since I was spot on.
