After the deadly clashes at the Galwan Valley, there was a widespread call for the boycotting of Chinese goods across the nation – a move which was ridiculed by India’s left-liberal community along with the Chinese Communist Party. The people of India showed their intent by boycotting China made Rakhis which burned a huge hole in China’s pocket. Now, with China’s Diwali product line also finding no takers, China is facing huge losses which have made Xi Jinping’s mouthpiece Global Times go full retard in a last-ditch attempt to convince Indians to buy China-made products.
As the country gears up to celebrate the homecoming of Lord Ram, this time Diwali will be celebrated minus the Chinese products which have greatly irked CCP mouthpiece Global Times.
In a rant cleverly disguised as an article, Global Times in its piece, wondered if, “Will cow dung lamps make a better Diwali for India?”
The propaganda outlet raised concerns over how “the Indian market has reportedly witnessed an obvious drop in demand for Chinese lamps and decorative items amid the ongoing border tensions between China and India.”
It added, “With the China-India relationship at a low ebb so far this year, it is somehow understandable that the boycott of Diwali-related products from China is more severe than ever among various Indian communities. “
Global Times then laughably proceeds to claim that since Indians aren’t buying Chinese goods, it will hamper the quality of life.
“Such an outcome may mean economic losses for Chinese businesses, but at the same time it could also represent a deterioration of the quality of life for Indians, especially the poor people,” said the propaganda outlet completely oblivious of the fact that Chinese products are infamous for their low-quality cheap products which simply cannot be trusted.
The article then whined about how local traders are banding together to not sell Chinese lights or decorative items this Diwali.
Surprisingly, Xi Jinping’s favourite outlet mentioned how according to Indian media reports the boycott of Chinese products would inflict losses worth Rs 400 billion ($5.38 billion) on Chinese exporters without countering the numbers.
The outlet then tries to put up a brave face as it fumbles to claim how China never really cared Diwali’s merchandise trade volume.
As if saving the best for the last, Global Times concluded its piece by a desperate appeal to Indians as it played the pro-poor card as it went wax lyrical over the cheap price and the so-called quality of Chinese products.
“Some may be willing to buy Indian-made products at a much higher price to show their support to their country’s manufacturing sector, while others who cannot afford too much on the festival are expected to have a bad consumer experience with some stinky lights. For instance, an organization announced to produce 330 million earthen lamps made from cow dung for the Diwali festival to counter Chinese lights. The consumer experience of the primitive diyas may be just one of the costs of Indians’ boycott of modern products from China,” whined the publication.
As if accepting defeat, Global Times disdained and warned that while, “Chinese exporters will certainly suffer, but so will the interests of Indian consumers.”
It then also offered unwarranted advice, as the article claimed, “If India wants to replace Chinese products with made-in-India products, then it should accelerate its own manufacturing development to produce more modern goods, instead of pushing for the use of some primitive products, which represents nothing but a decline in the living standards of its people.”
China is feeling the heat as a united India has collectively decided to boycott Chinese products which has caused major heartburns in the Chinese Communist Party.
