Made in China is under fire again, with all products removed from Amazon shelves

"China's consistent position is that the national flag is a symbol of a country and must be fully respected. The Embassy is aware of concerns raised about the inappropriate advertising of the Sri Lankan flag on Amazon and has referred them to the relevant Chinese authorities for investigation and will take appropriate measures if necessary."

In the letter, the embassy requested the company selling the product on Amazon to immediately stop selling the doormat and any such products and stop misusing the Sri Lankan flag.

The Embassy is closely monitoring the matter and will take appropriate action through the relevant Chinese authorities to stop the production and sale of any products bearing the image of the Sri Lankan flag.

For decades, China, as an all-weather friend and closest partner, has been respecting and supporting Sri Lanka's peace, prosperity and dignity, both in bilateral fields and in international forums.
