Came across this article today which talks about boycotting Chinese products completely is not possible for India. And also how it will be more harmful than expected. Goes on to show how we are all mislead by social media without actually knowing the facts.
Of course, it is true that Indian markets are flooded with Chinese goods. They are not only cheap, but are of quality too. To be very frank Chinese Goods have become a part of our lives
But, I'm of the opinion , though at present, its difficult to boycott the Chinese Goods, but in the long run it is possible. Because Modi;s scheme, " Make in India" will certainly give good results. To this effect, Many foreign Companies are showing interest to invest in India for making things in india ranging from Alarm Clocks to long range Missiles.
I totally agree that Chinese products are flooded in our market and are preferred choice for their low price and good quality.
Their boycott might not happen overnight. But with steps like "Make in India", we hope that soon we will have more good quality Indian products in our market to lure people over Chinese goods.
Moreover, we as citizens have to buy domestic products over foreign goods to support and strengthen our economics.
Hopefully in near future with such initiatives Indian products will overrule and replace Chinese goods.
Of course, it is when the people and the Government work together any Governmental scheme works and yields good results. The very purpose of Make In India is to make India self sufficient in all respects. Definitely such schemes take time . But over a period things will definitely change
China is a powerhouse as can be seen with launch of latest manned space mission. China produces cost effective goods and Indian goods lack this as an example just purchased Mahindra XUV 500 and it has Chinese engine. India is way behind and our economy will suffer if we boycott China gods.

As I already expressed my view that we are used to depend on Chinese goods . Taking all the necessary steps to make Goods of quality much better than Chinese goods, India can boycott the imports from China. And this is the objective of ' Make in India ' And for this to achieve, many International companies of repute coming forward to invest in India. Over a period, India too can produce Quality goods. If such Quality goods are available in India, who will bother about Chinese goods ?

If we have self pride as a nation, I guess we should be prepared to suffer a little which may prove to be far more productive in the future ..why shd we depend on a country that humiliates,us from time to time . It is time to develop new trade relationships IMHO
Supporting China means supporting terrorists. We buy products from China -> China expends that money to support Pakistan -> and Pakistan spends that money for terrorists. Means we are indirectly supporting terrorists. So boycott Chinese products. It may harm once, but benefits are far more better.
The fact behind the China's support to Pakistan has been realized by our PM and visionary Modi. For this reason, the decision to boycott Chinese goods was taken. Modi's 'Make in India' will enable India to produce quality goods. Of course, it takes time. But in the long run dependence on Chinese goods will be drastically reduced.
Boycotting Chinese Products is Possible with the help of People and Traders. People should encourage Traders who sell Goods made in India.. People should also react negatively to China made Product sellers. Online Shopping Websites like Flip kart should list the location of manufacture Made in India. With these steps it is possible to avoid Chinese Goods.
boycotting china is a slow and steady process. because first the consumers have to refrain from buying these china made products ( which is very hard. Because many Chinese products to technically cool and cheap as well. Yes quality is still a question mark for many products, but i guess the pricing plays an important role). Once the demand is reduced, then over the time only the imports can be reduced.
But i feel its time we started doing that. We need to create awareness among the customers/consumers.
It's all in the minds of the people. If people are determined to buy only Indian Goods, Can Goods come and force on you.? I hope with Modi's campaign 'Make in India' for which many foreigners are coming forward to invest in India. Gradually, India can make better Goods in India itself. Over a period, peoples interest on Chinese goods wane away.

There is trade between India and China as well as India and Pakistan. Even Sardar Patel statue is being made in China. In these circumstances, boycotting Pakistani actors and Chinese Goods appear childish and senseless. This is evident from the way the union Home Minister Rajnath Singh as well as Maharashtra govt. have assured film producers full protection against MNS and similar miscreants.
Any trade agreement can always be changed if found not agreeable or suitable..and Sardar statue is being built in India by L&T, some parts like bronze sheets are bring outsourced from China
