#BoycottChineseProducts: Tweeple outrage after China shields Masood Azhar

After China blocked bid at UN to tag JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, Indians on Twitter are seeking boycott of Chinese products

China on Wednesday vetoed and put a hold on a proposal at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to put a ban on Jaish-e-Mohammed's chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. This was the fourth time China blocked such a move. 

The hold can last up to nine months, after which China can use its veto power to formally block/terminate the proposal. A UNSC ban would have subjected Masood Azhar to travel ban, assets freeze and an arms embargo. 

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy said that "the cost of gifting UNSC seat to China in 1950 is haunting us."

The.cost of freeing Azhar in 1999 is now haunting us. The cost of gifting UNSC seat to China in 1950 is haunting us today. The cost of filing an illegal petition in UN on J&K is bleeding us everyday. Learn to introspect before blaming others. There are no free lunches

The government said it would pursue 'all available avenues' to bring terrorists to justice. However, angry Indians took to Twitter seeking a boycott of Chinese products in India. These included Chinese smartphone brands like Xiaomi and applications like TikTok. 

Here are some of the tweets trending with #BoycottChineseProducts hashtag: 

चाइनीज सामानों का सामूहिक बहिस्कार हो दोस्तो
लेने वाले ओर खास कर बेचने वाले
चलो हो जाए और एक बार धुलाई #BoycottChineseProducts @Maulik_7777 @SureshChavhanke @sardanarohit @KANABARDr @bharatThakkar77 pic.twitter.com/rCntEMSv2N

Buy @SamsungMobileIN or Indian brands' smartphones and other goods instead of Chinese ones. At least this we can do to show our protest against China's anti India attitude. #BoycottChineseProducts

#BoycottChineseProducts is trending in India.
Irony is this hashtag trend will be done from Chinese made mobile phone. No country on earth can afford to ban Chinese products as of today.
