KOLKATA: The wrath of Myanmarese protesters — seeking a return to parliamentary democracy — has turned against China and its multiple projects. Myanmar protest leaders said that they have decided to initiate a nationwide boycott of Chinese goods.
One of them, on the condition of anonymity, said that neighbourhood protest committees have been asked to spread by word of mouth the appeal to boycott Chinese goods.
"Indian businesses should open marts here. Our people will switch over to Indian products even if they are slightly more expensive," said the protest leader over the phone from commercial hub Yangon. But, he appealed to India not to turn back those fleeing into the country, specially the eight policemen who fled into Mizoram from Myanmar's Chin State.
