The Union government's decision to ban on 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok, UC Browser, WeChat, and Shein, over nation security concerns has sparked a series of debates online. One of the debates on Twitter was between industrialist Anand Mahindra and editor of Chinese state-run media Global Times.
On Monday, editor of the Chinese state-run media Hu Xijin tweeted, "Well, even if Chinese people want to boycott Indian products, they can't really find many Indian goods. Indian friends, you need to have some things that are more important than nationalism."
To this, the Mahindra Group Chairman replied, 'thank you for the provocation'.
