Tbh I'm kinda happy.
No more snakes or cringy kid spamming voice chat with profanities, begging or saying indecent stuff and lastly using scripts to further ruin the game

    Good
    This slow war with china is raising patriotic sentiments and now focus is only on reducing trade deficit with all other countries especially china. Govt is creating many hurdles in Chinese imports and has banned many products from the import list. This is pressuring companies to open production facilities in india.
    It is good that china is provoking india at border. This slow war has become the catalyst for rise of India as next big factory of the world. India is now importing only raw materials and electronic components from China. All finished goods import has been banned. India bas reduced it's import from 75 billion to 40 billion dollars from china which now can not be further reduced.
    World will soon learn from the rise of India and thier skills in managing the economy. If nore countries decide to reduce their imports especially America and Europe this will be doom of the Chinese economy. Already Chinese banks are struggling heavily with NPAs. China clearly underestimated India's diplomatic and defence capabilities. Now it is paying the price.

            AK, 03 Sep 2020Hey, i was just reading comments.. And I found your comment... moreChinese are better than Europeans in tech aspect. That is the truth. Why? Cause they have more educated workforce and they spend time and time in researching. And when someone says ban China and their companies is rly stupied, cause only they are innovative now. I am from Europe and I know how inferior are we compared to them.

              My comment will be little bit off topic now, but I believe India is going to rise now. They where in poverty so many years, even now, and I think their time to rise has finally come. Apples are assembled in India too now. Some countries are investing in India now. About China, I know for sure many companies are moving out to Vietnam, even some Chinese companies as well.
              By the way I am sorry for Huawei, they can make some really good products.

                    Ban all Chinese phones while you are at it. No Xiaomi, Huawei etc. No point banning Chinese-made apps when you are using their hardware and software.

                    Just trying to point out how nonsensical this action is.

                      Just like when your Mom question you... "Hey Billy... why did you failed your exam???"
                      You answered: "Because my rival in the school failed the exam also!"
                      Your mom will be like uhhhh... that is not what i meant.

                      Alot of arguments ends the same way nowadays... Look at your rivals did it, so its OK for me to do it also!! Instead of who did better. Instead of working to better oneself.. A bucket of crabs, crawling and pushing.. in the end.. all end up in the boiling pot.

                        Looks like ban spree. Were they even trying to stop that other way? Poor users.

                                      India do not have the capability to mine rare earth materials to make phones for the world demand. So any means to bring phone making to India will increase overall cost.

                                      You may ask why is that so.. mining rare earth is dangerous and harmful to the land. If India bite the bullet and be the world top phone maker.. its land will take a hit also. You need an iron grip to make it top in the world. If you are wishy washy.. want to be top but do not want the cons.. nothing can be done.
