The vehement showdown between India and China in the Galwan Valley, has led to a flagging relationship amongst them

The prevalent dispute over the LAC –  Line of Actual Control in a few places in Ladakh have fermented the association between India and China big time in which 20 soldiers martyred because of this confrontation, as declared by the Indian Army. There is no second thought, that this face-off will make it difficult for Chinese companies to function in India, as the government is in no mood to mend the situation and these companies will probably have to bear the brunt of what had happened at the LAC.

The Indians were already considering boycotting usage of Chinese products including FMCG items, apparel, textile, kitchen products and toys, etc. The purpose is to shrink the import of Chinese products, as stated by Mr. Praveen Khandelwal – CAIT Secretary General. It is also obvious from the dwindling of the 52 applications concomitant to China by the Intelligence agencies of India. The Indian Government will perhaps direct BSNL and MTNL, the telecom companies evade Chinese equipment. The Telecom Department has advised all its units within its ambit to buy produces which are “Made in India”.
