The traders, who also urged consumers to boycott Chinese imports, are concerned that Chinese products are hurting Indian manufacturers. But there is also anger in India after China used its veto to block the UN Security Council from blacklisting a Pakistan-based Islamist leader. The Confederation of All India Traders, which represents millions of traders, said their action against Chinese goods was aimed at teaching it a lesson, after it used its veto to block Masood's blacklisting. In the capital, New Delhi, traders burned Chinese goods including laptops, mobile phones, computers, fax machines and toys at the Sadar Bazar, the city's main market for Chinese goods. Demonstrators also urged people to boycott Chinese goods, and asked the government to increase import tariffs on Chinese imports that they said were hurting small Indian manufacturers and costing millions of jobs.
