Celebrity photographer Atul Kasbekar heaped praise on US President Donald Trump for his strong speech against China on Friday. Kasbekar wrote: “You can make all the memes you want about Pres. Trump but you have to admire the guts he’s shown in taking on the Chinese govt. Fact is they’ve shown no sense of accountability for the pandemic and someone needed to call them out. Rest of the world should join in isolating them.”

The hashtags #BoycottChineseProducts and #BoycottChina started trending on Twitter after educator and innovator Sonam Wangchuk, whose life inspired the Aamir Khan-starrer 3 Idiots, shared a clip on YouTube urging all to boycott Chinese goods. His request came in the wake of growing tensions between India and China in Ladakh. Since then, a string of celebrities have followed Wangchuk’s lead.
