Harshavardhana maintained diplomatic relations with China and sent envoys who exchanged ideas of the Chinese rulers and developed their knowledge about each other.

Harshavardhana became an avowed enemy of Shashanka because the latter killed Rajyavardhana, who was the elder brother of and the predecessor of Emperor Harshavardhana.
This is further corroborated by Bana when he says that during Harshavardhana's march against Shashanka, people approached the former with presents and took the opportunity to complain against the wrongs done to them (by Shashanka) [SHARMA 1970: 245].
