I think you and Sameer are looking at it just from an Indian view point. From where I am sitting, the Chinese just want more territory, either de facto or with overpowering economic/political influence. They took Tibet and they have always wanted Nepal, Sikim and Bhutan. I do not think they are trying to encirle India per se. The Chinese for "China" is "CHOONG" which means CENTER (and in long meaning "center of the world"). When Marco Polo first went to China in the 15th century, the Chinese had the highest GDP in the world. They want to go back to that state. Even with all that communist influence for the past 60 years, the 4000 years tradition of wanting to be the center of the world is still there.
