It certainly does -- they dug a big trench right through Mount Everest. Not only that, but they've extended it all the way to France.

No! Absolutely not - first, that would be near impossible as the Himalayans seperate China from India. Thus, the Chinese would had to have dug through the world's tallest mountains or make some sort of horrendous circuitous route - either through South East Asia or through the Taklimakan desert.
Next, the Grand Canal was built to connect Beijing with Hangzhou - thus, the entire canal runs through eastern China and far away from India.
A small portion of the canal was built in pre-Qin to connect the Yangtze with the Huai. It was extended to its current length in the 7th century during the Sui dynasty.

No. It's the longest, and oldest, man made canal on earth, but it doesn't connect India and China.

Of course it does. The Chinese invented locks so they could get boats over the Himalayas. They used yeti to pull them in the snowy bits.
