I agree. In fact the China has already initiated the process of building a dam over one of the major rivers to flow into India (Tsangpo-Brahmaputra), and India has asked China to put a hold to this.

It is also to be noted that among the few Chinese people I have met, most seem to have a liking towards Indians and vice-versa. Also, you would not believe the extent to which Indians and Pakistanis would go to demonstrate their love for each other. A few years ago (2005, I think), when there was a bilateral cricket tournament between Pakistan and India in India (and the next year in Pakistan), Indians would literally drag Pakistanis to their homes as guests. This was repeated by the Pakistanis the next year.

Looking at the news reports and the way the Indian and Pakistani governments accuse each other, you would never guess such stuff could happen.

They would "literally" drag Pakistanis back to their homes? Seems quite harsh.
Well the Pakistanis certainly weren't complaining. They were expecting to be greeted by armed policemen scrutinizing their every move (or atleast that's how one of them put it in an interview to a newspaper).
