Shortly after this, support by Hong Kong and Taiwanese netizens poured in for India for standing its ground firmly against China and taking them on bravely. It is important to note that there is a strong wave of discontent against China among the residents of Hong Kong and Taiwan. Hong Kong has been witnessing months-long violent pro-democracy protests after China introduced a security law which is being seen as a death knell to Hong Kong’s autonomy. China has also been threatening Taiwan which it considers a part of its territory muzzling the country's voice for international representation under its 'one nation' policy.
