A Chinese official has expressed readiness to provide China's support in the development of Gautam Buddha's birthplace, Lumbini, during a meeting with Nepalese President Ram Baran Yadav.

Wang Zuoan, director of China's State Administration for Religious Affairs, made the remarks when he called on the Nepalese president on Sunday.

On the occasion, Yadav thanked the Chinese government and the people for their continued support in Nepal's socio-economic development, an official at the President's Office told Xinhua.

In a separate meeting between Wang and Nepal's Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Deepak Chandra Amatya on Sunday, the two discussed Nepal-China cooperation in the culture sector, an official at the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation, told Xinhua.

Wang, who arrived in the Nepalese capital on Sunday for a three- day visit, toured Lumbini on the same day and he is expected to offer donations to the local people on Monday.

Donations is expected? Like offering?
Anyway, this would be good for Nepal tourism.

Stop trolling.

This is not directed against India. This is a result of the good relationship development between Nepal and China. This development will bring religious and non-religous tourism and money to Nepal. Nepal would welcome any contributions from India for this and other developments too. It is not a zero-sum game.

You get a point when the 2 countries have been in contention for the birth place of the Buddha
Buddha was born in Nepal, Not in India.
There is no controversy, Buddha was born in Nepal: India - timesofindia-economictimes

and as a matter of fact, Buddhism is amongst the minority of minority religious beliefs in India
This is a telling story

I don't understand why India likes to steal credit for Buddhism. It is a Nepalese religion, originated in present day Nepal, spread to India, but India claims it as her own...
