Chinese propaganda video prompts Indian complaint of racism
Published August 17, 2017
Associated Press
BEIJING – China's main state news agency, Xinhua, has released a video online criticizing India in a border dispute that prompted an Indian newspaper to complain of "racist overtones."
The English-language video, titled "7 Sins of India," accuses the New Delhi government of illegally entering Chinese territory. It includes a man portraying an Indian dressed in a turban and false beard.
Soldiers from the two sides are in a standoff in Doklam, an area between China and Indian ally Bhutan. New Delhi sent soldiers in June to stop China from constructing a road there.
The Hindustan Times said the three-minute video has "racist overtones" and "mocked and parodied Indians."

The situation is serious, the little I've seen of the video, looks a bit like old comedy.
