India is rising up love from Somalia 🇸🇴 ❤️🇮🇳

If China is jealous and anxious then India is on right path 😎🇮🇳

From Australia: It's so good Apple is diversifying. There's a lot of talk that China is having financial problems. I am a toy designer and manufacturer. I've manufactured here, in New Zealand, South Africa, China and Pakistan. I think we all should be looking to India for the future of manufacturing. Be good if the Indian Govt had a stand at our trade fairs here.

If any country is hating - that means India is on right path of prosperity 👍

"Using curry to shame India is so 1980s. At least use yoga in your racist rant" Best rebuttal to racist remarks. Most's people response is to dig into their own racism bag to find a suitable racist remark. But Palki is not most people, and this is also an important lesson for the viewers.

The phrase "Made in CHINA" is well known throughout the world, but for all the wrong reasons. 😂

It’s a far fetched argument that the Chinese are having a meltdown of India making the iPhones like the 14, 15 models when the Chinese are so proud of their own country’s Huawei’s latest smartphone, Mate 60 Pro. The demand for it was off the charts and Huawei could not produce fast enough to meet the demands for its latest mobile phone. So why should the Chinese care anything about the iPhones at all. Apparently, there’s some technical problems with Indian assembled iPhones 14, while the 15 model is not as hot as it thought out to be, whereas, the previous iPhones from China were hot sales as soon as they came on to the market.

Did they forget "Made in China" is an insult 😩

[tanandv]

That's why whenever any product is considered useless..they say it's Chinese made 🤣🤣🤣

[Veritatis.Cupitor]

As a Canadian I can appreciate the Indian perspective being Indian where as our Western Media is not from our perspective.

[pashtunchannel]

I hate racism even if it’s directed towards Indian people I as a Pakistani am with the Indian brothers in not tolerating or excepting this sort of hatred

“Using curry to shame India is so 1980s. At least use yoga…” 😂😂😂

[somrupnaga]

India to china: Did we ever say your country smells like pandemic?

[nande]

Curry is not even insult acting and my condolences to rats, bats, snakes, dogs any living being born in china 🙏🙏🏼

[christopherlin]

people who said it have "curry smell" is those media people or random people, but you're professional right, shouldn't bother this kind of comment/matter which stir up the relationship between this country. peace to all people, share the LOVE, not HATE.

[bendevarajan]

Let them say… their jealousy feels so good. Although it would feel better if we had an indigenous phone which can compete with iPhone. Well that day also will not be far behind. 🙏🙏🇮🇳

[batwargautam]

INDIAN Govt must ban Chinese smartphones and all electronic products which are not MADE IN is enough

[niknikwhosthere]

Even countries that use Toilet Paper dominantly are switching to using Bidets, just as you don't wash your dishes with Paper we don't wash our Butts with paper as well.

As to racism, we indians are second to none. I have heard someone saying all chinese phones look alike (just like them) in some video long back. We have our own fair share of racist rants. In fact we discriminate our own prople from didferent states on their looks and food. Curry is no offense, depends on how insecure you are from within to be sensitive to a comment such as this.
