The Chinese Embassy in Sri Lanka has asked concerned authorities in Beijing to “investigate” inappropriate advertising of Sri Lanka’s national flag on Amazon.
The reaction came after Colombo raised concerns with Beijing over the sale of Chinese-made doormats featuring the island nation’s flag on the American retail platform and sought an inquiry.
“It is China’s consistent stand that the national flag is a country’s symbol, which must be fully respected. The Embassy is aware of some concern about inappropriate advertising of Sri Lanka flag on Amazon, which has been conveyed to related Chinese authorities for investigation and necessary measures accordingly,” the Chinese embassy said in a statement on Friday.
