Reactions ranging from righteous indignation to pure amusement greeted a Chinese media video accusing India of committing “seven sins” in the two-month-long Doklam stand-off near Sikkim. The three-minute video, produced by Xinhua, China’s official news agency, ridicules India and Indians, and is embellished with poorly spelt subtitles and racial stereotypes. 

The video, featured an edition of Xinhua’s new “Spark” show, features anchor Dier Wang accusing India of “sins” that include “trespassing, confusing right and wrong, putting the blame on the victim, hijacking a small neighbour and sticking to a mistake knowingly”. It has been posted through Xinhua’s English-language account on Twitter.
