You're wrong. China was colonized by many countries at the same time. After the First Opium War in 1940 which the British invaded China and took parts of it, many other countries (USA, Germany, Russia, Japan, France, Holland, Italy, Belgium) followed and occupied China and did whatever they like without the permission from the Chinese government, at the time it was the Qing Dynasty Manchurian rulership which was also foreign to China at the time.
China was colonized by foreign countries from mid 1600s to 1949, about 300 years of foreign colonization.

According to international IQ studies by University Of Helsinki in Finland, the average IQ score of India is below world average, about 80, while China's is 105.
International chess is not popular in China that's because Chinese chess is the one mostly played there. There are Chinese grandmasters of international chess, some of the world's best international chess players are Chinese. Chinese are among the top 3 best international chess players in the world, despite international chess is not popular in China, and very few Chinese in the world play international chess.
There are is no Indian good at playing Chinese chess though.
According to ancient Chinese records dated 200 BC, Chinese chess matching the description of today's Chinese chess already existed. The names of the chess game and pieces are exactly the same as today's.
International chess is very similar to Chinese chess except Chinese chess is more sophisticated due to two cannon pieces on each side.
The earliest mention of something maybe related to chess in ancient Indian record was in 700AD, almost a 1000 years after the Chinese chess. And there is no evidence that a game resembles international chess or Chinese chess existed in India. What this means is international chess is derived from Chinese chess due to many similarities between them, such as how the horse pieces move in L pattern, diagonal moves of certain pieces, 64 squares on the board, etc. Most likely Chinese chess spread through the silk road to Persia and then to Europe. There is Persian record dated around 500AD mentioning a Persian king was good at playing a chess game with a name that sounds like the name of the Chinese chess game.

The rise of China should be called the Resurrection of Once China's Glory. China had been the most advanced civilization in the world for at least 2000 years. China was also the world’s biggest capitalism, manufacturer, trader and exporter. Besides the silk roads, China also sent ship as far as Africa and possibly South America. Until Europeans learned the Chinese tranocean ship technologies, China had the world’s only transocean ships, its large fleets of hundreds of ships were so massive even for today's world. China's cargo and trader ships roamed the entire South China Sea where no ships of other countries could sail.
Marco Polo was so amazed at how advanced China was, after he returned to Europe, his report on China's advancements, technologies and inventions was so unbelievable to the Europeans that they thought he was lying, they threw him in prison in suspicion he was lying. It was later when Europe sent more people to China then they saw the advancements, technologies and inventions in China, they returned back to Europe and used the things they had learned from China, started the Industrial Revolution that changed the world forever.

For thousands of years China had been the world's most advanced manufacturing and exporting center, after learning from Marco Polo's stories about China the Europeans flocked to China to see it in person, they found it was more amazing and advanced than how Marco Polo described it as. The Europeans then took what they learned from China and used them to develop Europe, the so-called Industrial Revolution in Europe couldn't happen without technologies from China, such as steel mass production, assembly line factory production, weaving machines, printing, paper, paper money, banking system, and of course the gun powder and explosive.
Before the first Opium War which the British invaded China in 1941, China had the world's wealthiest nation because it's exports of tea, chinaware, silk, textile, and much more to Europe. England invaded and robbed China because it was becoming poor due to spending its money buying luxurious goods from China, but the Qing Dynasty rulership didn't buy much from England.
From 1840s on China was constantly being invaded by foreign powers included England, USA, Japanese and others; they illegally occupied China and turned it into poor and broken nation.

There's no such thing as caste system in today's India, everyone has equal rights under the democracy constitutions. Everyone can vote, get education, get jobs in the government and private businesses. There is a wide rich and poor gap though, with 50% of the work force unemployed, most people live in extreme poverty by western standard, but this is capitalism's fault, nothing to do with caste. The rich treating the poor like dirt, this happens everywhere in the world, even in USA.
Ancient India was rich and advanced for that time, compared to other ancient civilizations such as South America. Caste system was strongly implemented in ancient India but it didn't stop India from being a powerful, rich and advanced civilization.

Like I said, major trades between civilizations in the ancient world were done through the Silk Roads from China to Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia and Europe. Many commodities and products included spices, not just silk, were exported from China through the Silk Roads to many parts of the ancient world. China also traded heavily with Southeast East. Even before China built the world's first transoceanic ship fleets that sailed as far as Africa and possibly to Australia or even Mesoamerica.
Europeans sent many people including the Jesuits to study in China because China was the most advanced civilization at the time. Europe was 1000 years behind China until Europeans went to China to study, after those Europeans went back to Europe they started the Industrial Revolution in Europe by using many Chinese technologies which they had learned from China. Marco Polo is the famous European who first published details of the technological advancements in China that shocked Europe, but he wasn't the first European travelled to China, there had been thousands of years before him. A defected Roman legion army went and stayed to settle in China.
China created the world's first university exams which are still being used worldwide today.
The world's first and is still the world's biggest encyclopedia with over 10,000 books was published in China.
China was the ancient world's biggest manufacturer and exporter for thousands of years. Even India imported Chinese products such as silk, paper, chinaware, tea and rice, until India learned to produce them.
Internationally acclaimed historians say ancient China's GDP was 60% of the world's total GDP, that is how big China's GDP was.
