With the threatening Corona Virus originating from China, the hate against the country has increased like never before. China has been subjected to worldwide criticism and separation. While American President Donal Trump directly blames China for the intentional spread of the disease, India has come up with a new online campaign called Boycott Chinese Products.
The reasons cited for this movement are the low quality products, internal conflicts with China, separatist movement against China and others.
Many Bollywood personalities and known figures have taken the platform of the internet to share the campaign and their support.
Arshad Warsi recently tweeted, “I am consciously going to stop using everything that is Chinese. As they are a part of most of the things we use, it will take time but I know, one day I’ll be Chinese free. You should try it too,”
