Of course, the 'original' and 'copy' does not begin or end with just Helen of Troy and Ramayana.

Chinese 'repeating the history' as it is either will not be as perfect as we wish.
What happened after Chinese took that king as a prisoner was; the Lankan royal family was allowed to choose their king in Kotte; and Chinese asked the the selected king to pay china some considerable tribute each year.
Thus in theory, Lanka was a conquered state of China. Failing to pay the annual tribute would create the threat of a big invasion.
However, the new King, Parakramabahu the VI, consolidated things in proper oder and became strong enough, after some years, discontinued paying the tribute. The timing was right for him, since China, at that time was no longer in a position to execute a big scale invasion overseas.
It is an illusion to think that China never had intension of keeping Lanka as a subordinate state in the past.

The other blunder we make is trying to see the world from our perspective and trying to maintain that and to propagate that to higher scale.
In a family, we try to fight for our individual rights.
In the community, we try to fight for our family's rights.
In the country, we try to fight for our community's rights.
In the region, we try to fight for our country's rights.
So, Modhi is just capitalizing on that.
Arthashastra written by Chanakya is still in very much action today.
If you want to get the support form your country men, the easiest thing to do is to get them head on with the region or world. Get their support for you against your 'common enemy'.
So, Sri Lanka has become the common enemy and escape god for many Indian campaigns.
