China is steadily extending its reach into South Asia with its growing economic and strategic influence in the region. China's trade volume with all South Asian nations increasing year to year. Its bilateral trade with India alone accounts for $38 billion in 2008, a number set to grow to $65 billion in 2010. Except for New Delhi, Beijing runs trade surpluses with all other partners, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Maldives. But China makes up for these trade deficits with massive investment in the infrastructural development, economic needs, and above all energy production of its trade partners. Beijing also showers these nations with low cost financial capital to help their struggling development sector. The largest beneficiaries of this economic aid are Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal.
China's Growing Economic Influence in South Asia
In keeping with its economic expansion, China has deepened its economic influence in the South Asian region with India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. China's entrée in to South Asia gained momentum after its conversion to the market economy in the 1980s, which filled its economy with trade and investment. Its resultant economic strength opened the path into South Asia.
China's Growing Defense exports to South Asia
China exports Chinese Jian-7 fighters, JF-17 fighters, JY 11-3D air surveillance radars, ammunition, anti-tank guided missiles, Rocket launchers and shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles. Deep penetration bombs and rockets, mortar ammunition. Night vision devices, artillery armor mortars, security equipment, Tanks, Navel Vessels, communicant equipment, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns¸ rocket propelled grenade launchers and other Military assistance to South Asian countries.
China and South Asian countries also cooperating in the area of military training and exercises.
China's Diplomatic Influence in South Asia
China has also benefited diplomatically from its growing influence with Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Today, all of these nations affirm the "one-China" policy that views Taiwan as an "inalienable" part of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Similarly, they are aligned with Beijing on the equally sensitive issue of Tibet, with the result that they all shun the Dalai Lama to Beijing's delight while proclaiming that Tibet is an integral part of China. In view of China's eagerness to join the South Asia Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), which presently represents the seven nations of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

China and India Improving Relations
First China accepted the long disputed territory of Sikkim as part of the India.
Prime Minister Wen even presented Indian Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh with cartographic evidence of his government's changed stance: an official map that shows Sikkim in India. In response, India has already backed off its long held stand on Tibet, accepting Tibet as part of the People's Republic of China (PRC).
China overtaken the United States, with bilateral trade of $38 billion in 2008, a number set to grow to $65 billion in 2010. China is now India's largest trading partner.
