TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Inspired by a meme showing Hong Kong's pro-democracy activists supporting India, Taiwan News has created a meme expressing Taiwan's solidarity with India, as both countries stand against the recent aggressions of communist China.

On Tuesday, a melee broke out between Indian and Chinese troops on a disputed stretch of border in the Ladakh region, with the Indian side suffering 20 dead and the PLA allegedly reporting 43 dead and wounded. The incident sparked outrage across India, prompting many to call for a boycott of Chinese-made products, burn effigies of Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping (習近平), and create a flurry of anti-China memes on social media.

An illustration showing Rama, the seventh avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu, drawing a bow and preparing to shoot a huge arrow into a Chinese dragon posted on Hong Kong social media site LIHKG and reported on by Taiwan News spread like wildfire in India on Wednesday (June 17).

Hong Kong Twitter user HoSaiLei on Wednesday created a meme showing two burly men arm wrestling with the hashtag #HKstandswithIndia and the flag of India and a yellow and black banner, symbolizing the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong at the bottom.
