Every Nation and country has a unique history and deep rooted beliefs and philosophies. China and India are two countries with rich history from several aspects, including for sexuality.
China's sexual history focused on increasing the sexuality by differentiating male and human sexes and their roles in reproduction.
India's sexual history was through Hinduism and explains that life is a continuous process without gain or loss, similar to energy transformation. This line of thought provides for 'life-after-death' process and sexuality is considered as a factor that contributes to this line of thought.
Both China's and India's views on sexuality differ from those of the Western views. The views of the West on sexuality are largely influenced by the Bible and not by the Chinese or Hinduism philosophies.
