A year after the clash between soldiers of Indian and Chinese armies at Galwan Valley in Ladakh, a survey has found that 43 per cent Indians didn't buy any China-made products in the last 12 months.
Even among those who purchased 'Made in China' products, 60 per cent said they bought only 1-2 items during the period, the survey, conducted by community social media platform LocalCircles, found.
The results are in sync with the Indian government's extra push to promote local production and ban 100-odd China-based apps like TikTok, AliExpress, among others. There were several calls for boycotting Chinese products after the Galwan Valley conflict in which 20 Indian soldiers lost their lives.
A LocalCircles survey conducted around the festive season in November 2020 had also indicated that 71 per cent of Indian consumers did not purchase 'Made in China' products at that time.
LocalCircles said the latest survey received nearly 18,000 responses from consumers located in 281 districts of India. Incidentally, value for money remains one of the key reasons for customers opting for Chinese products.
