I cant believe in all of China's 1.2 billion people, especially considering proximity to India, that it doesn't even have 800k Hindus.

I'm not surprised. The border areas are not heavily populated. China doesn't really allow immigration, and Hinduism is not one of the 5 allowed religions in China. There is apparently a small population of Hindus in Hong Kong:

Also to add to Quizmaster's comment, Mao Zedong's party in the mid 1900's put religion under government control and banned most religions and they ran campaigns to stamp out religion in China.

Theistic religions aren't big at all in China and modern China is one of the most atheistic countries. They almost exclusively practice spiritual, humanist or folk religions (Taoism/Confucianism etc) rather than theism of any kind.

This is misrepresentative. These definitions of atheism and humanism are Western constructions, and Chinese Folk Traditions have their own philosophy which can't be understood through modern Western standards. Also Islam has had a presence in China for over a thousand years (both among Han Chinese - called the Hui - and minority groups like the Uyghur). Christianity has a modern presence in China too, but I can't find reliable statistics.

Christianity has a historical presence in China too -- you can look up the Nestorian Church of the East in China for more information

(I'm assuming your comment is in reference to Buddhists in Tibet, not Hindus?) Given the mass murders and mass exodus circa 1959, I'm guessing that the remaining Tibetan Buddhist population is quite motivated to severely underreport themselves. Even if they weren't, I'm not sure China would feel it particularly advantageous to accurately report those numbers either.

The other thing is there tends to be religious/cultural transition zones. India has its own "transition zone" in Northeast India, where as you go further north and east, the proportion of Hindus drop while the proportions of Buddhists and Christians increase. So, by the time you get to the border of China with Arunachal Pradesh, Hindus make up a very small percentage of the population. Add to that the fact that Tibet is remote and there aren't a lot of people living at the border, and it makes sense.

They didn't here, or anywhere. Google the Sykes–Picot line. Or just look at this map from Wait But Why: https://149909199.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/border-problem-1024x785.png

They didn't. In fact the person incharge of drawing the borders had never been to India nor had any idea about the cultural division in the country.

The migration that followed is one of the deadliest and most painful one.

Pretty small population overall. Hinduism does have a narrow plurality among major religions, but the country's small population is pretty religiously fragmented. For Guyana to make this list it would have to be around 50% or more Hindu.
