Ancient China vs India political systems
The ancient Chinese and Indians both had different political systems. India was unified for a while, while ancient China had many problems with unifying a broke up into almost state like regions. The ancient Indians established a series of small kingdoms over the whole land, which helped in keeping India unified. Both the Chinese and Indians looked to conquer and constantly expand their boundaries. For the ancient Indians, Ashoka set important polices in Indian which soon collapsed after his death and this is when India turned to local rulers controlling small regions of India themselves.

China was pretty successful with unification efforts; though there were periods of dis-unity (warring states, 3 kingdoms) they were the exception, not the norm. India, on the other hand, was the opposite, with unification being the exception (maurya and Gupta) and dis-unity being the norm.
