Boycott of Chinese goods may not feasible - India export body

Amid growing calls to shun products coming in from China following a border clash that killed 20 Indian soldiers

NEW DELHI: Boycotting Chinese goods may not be feasible as India is dependent on Chinese imports but New Delhi should try to reduce its dependence on Chinese products, the chief of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations said on Thursday.

After a border clash with China in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed, there are growing calls in India to shun Chinese products.

India’s customs officials at Chennai, one of India’s biggest ports, have held shipments originating from China for extra checks.
