June 19, 2020 12:29 IST

The clamour to boycott China-made products grew in the country following the killing of 20 Indian Army personnel by Chinese troops in a violent face-off in Ladakh's Galwan Valley.

From smashing television sets to burning computers, angry Indians are boycotting all goods manufactured in China, accusing the neighbouring country of betraying India's trust by its act of aggression on the borders.

Topics like 'Boycott China', 'Go China' and 'Go Chinese Go' have been trending on Twitter.
