A Chinese media report has quoted analysts in China claiming although calls for boycotting Chinese products have grown in India over the past weeks, “Indians can hardly resist Chinese products”.

The report in Global Times China also said that the calls for boycotting Chinese products like smartphones and mobile applications are a ploy by nationalists in India to “defame and smear China”.

The analysts quoted in the report have also predicted that the ‘Boycott China’ campaign is most likely to fail as the Chinese products that are loved by Indians are hard to replace.

The Chinese experts have said the boycott move can prove to be a burden for India as “cost-efficient Chinese products are good market choices”.

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav has said , "The boycott China call is a popular sentiment among the people of India. It's not that the government has made any announcement regarding this. People today genuinely feel they should boycott products that are made in China. There is an anger towards China."

Clamour for boycotting Chinese products picked up in India amid the standoff between India and China in Ladakh. Armies of the two countries came to blows a few weeks ago over a border dispute.

The Chinese military had ramped up its operations in the disputed regions of Pangong Tso, Galwan Valley, Demchok and Daulat Beg Oldie in Ladakh with aggressive military posturing. As India put up a firm approach in dealing with the aggressive tactics by the Chinese army, the standoff continued for several weeks.

Military commanders of the two armies held a marathon meeting in Maldo on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh on Saturday in an attempt to resolve the month-long standoff in the high altitude Himalayan region.

Meanwhile, as the bitter standoff quickly escalated to being recognised as the worst dispute in many decades, calls for boycotting Chinese products grew louder in India.

An app named ‘Remove China Apps’ was launched and raked up millions of supporters with an aim to discard all Chinese apps on their smartphones.

However, the controversial app was quickly removed from the Google Play Store.

After Saturday’s military-level talks, the Indian government has said India and China have agreed to continue military and diplomatic talks to "peacefully" resolve the border issue in accordance with bilateral pacts and guidance provided by leaders of the two countries.
