China and India

Across the Himalaya, there are 2 biggest countries in Asia with that of the oldest and most splendid history in the world, India and China. They are now the 2 most populated countries, also the 2 fastest growing economies.

Unlike India, China historically is not a religious country. The home brew beliefs, Confuciusism, Taoism, Zenism etc, are not really religions, but rather philosophies. China imported Budhism from India over 15 hundred years ago. That was pobably the first major contact between the 2 countries, at least that I know of.
