Social media abuzz with calls for boycott of Chinese products

Beijing’s block to the UN resolution declaring Masood Azhar a global terrorist has triggered a tirade in India against China, with social media users and trade bodies calling for the boycott of Chinese products and services.

While Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and ShareChat were abuzz with anti-China rants, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), which claims to represent 70 million traders, said its members would burn Chinese goods on March 19 across the country to “teach China a lesson”.
