I find an interesting circle in Chinese history. When China was busy with wars against its northern neighbors, Vietnamese would steal some lands from China. After finishing the war in the north, China usually had to start extra wars in the south to get those lands back. This circle actually had been seen several times in history. But right now it is just a little more complicate for China to get back the lands stolen by Viet when China was dealing with the threaten from the USSR, since Viet have someone strong enough to back them up.

我在中国历史中发现了一个怪圈。只要中国跟北方邻国打仗，越南人就会偷走中国的一点领土。等中国跟北方打完仗，往往又得在南方宣战，夺回那些领土。这个怪圈在中国历史上出现过数次。但对中国而言，现在如果想要夺回越南趁着中国对付苏联威胁时偷走的领土，情况变得有点复杂了，因为越南找到了个强有力的靠山。

I think India is lucky…at least Nepol would never try to invade India.

我觉得印度挺走运的，起码尼泊尔绝不可能入侵印度。

What do you think of the relationship between China and Vietnam?

It’s complicated. China and Vietnam enjoy fast growing bilateral trade and cooperation in many fields but they also disagree on many things.

If you have been following the news about Vietnam for the last few days, you most probably have heard (from the BBC) that China is pushing Vietnam to abandon the oil project Block 07/03 off Vietnamese shore.

您如何看待中越关系？

中越关系很复杂。中越两国的双边贸易和各领域合作发展迅速，但在许多问题上也存在分歧。

如果你最近一直关注越南新闻，你很可能已经听到了(BBC新闻)中国正在敦促越南放弃在越南海岸的07/03地块石油项目。

What you have probably missed are similar blocks nearby like Lan Tay and Lan Do. All have been met with Chinese pressure since the begng but nevertheless went through. Block 07/03 is facing the same situation.

The Blue Whale (Ca Voi Xanh) project between PetroVietnam and ExxonMobil will be an even more interesting case due to its sensitive location.

Vietnam has been inviting countries to explore oil in its EEZ, including Russia, UK, India and now Italy.

你可能不知道的是，岚台和岚道附近的几个地块都发生过同样的情况。一开始都遭遇了中国方面的压力，但都成功了。07/03地块也面临着同样的情况。

由于敏感的地理位置，越南石油公司和埃克森美孚公司合作的蓝鲸项目将更加引发关注。

越南一直在邀请其他国家在其专属经济区勘探石油，包括俄罗斯、英国、印度，现在还有意大利。

Short Answer: No

Long Answer:

In many ways, it is like China-Pak relationship, but still not entirely.

简单一点说：不像。

展开说说吧：

在很多方面，印度和尼泊尔的关系就像中国和巴基斯坦，但还是有不同之处。

1..China and Pak have no ethnic/cultual connect. China treats Pak as their ‘step little brother’ and Pak Govt happily accept that fact. They sit in China’s lap.

1.中国和巴基斯坦的民族和文化并不相通。中国把巴基斯坦当做小兄弟，而巴基斯坦政府也心甘情愿地接受了这个事实。他们是在抱中国的大腿。

2. people of Pak have no other option left but to accept this fact but to take whatever china throws at them just because they are economically heavily depend on China. Plus, their big fat ego does not allow them to bend before their actual big brother - India.

2.巴基斯坦人别无选择，只能接受这一事实，但他们只是因为经济上严重依赖中国才如此低声下气。另外，他们的自尊心让他们无法屈从于真正的兄长—印度。

3. However the people of Pak is not completely in romance with China. Only their Govt is.

3.巴基斯坦人其实并未完全被中国收买。但巴基斯坦政府已彻底屈从。

As for Nepal, they have strong cultural and economic ties and share a common ethnic. They have open border. Both citizens are allowed to visit, live and work in both countries without any visa or work permit. Infact there are around 40k Nepalese serving in Indian army. You would not hear that kind of friendship anywhere else in the world very often.

至于尼泊尔，他们有着紧密的文化和经济合作关系，同属一个民族。他们有开放的边境。两国公民都可以在不需要签证或工作许可的情况下往来旅游、生活和工作。事实上，大约有4万尼泊尔人在印度军队中服役。在全世界都找不到第二份同样的友谊。

India considers Nepal as their little brother for some reason. Both Nepalese people and their DO NOT like it. They want India to treat them as equel. Nepal heavily depends on India for its day today trade as it is a land locked country. But, unlike Pakistan Nepal has another option. ie to side with China to get some leverages from them and possibly intimidate India since China is India’s rival (in India’s eyes)
