Chinese guests have been banned from hotels in India's capital, which the association said was 'to support our government in this warlike situation with China'.
One of Delhi's main hotel associations says its members are barring Chinese guests, as calls for a boycott of Chinese goods gather pace following a border clash that killed 20 Indian soldiers.
The association, which represents mostly three- and four-star hotels, will also encourage members to stop using Chinese products. Earlier this week Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government ordered all sellers to do the same on its GeM portal, which is used for tens of billions of dollars worth of state purchases.
"But demand has not come down for smartphones at all and people are still buying these gadgets," he told AFP.
