Philippine mango vendors sour to product

By Cui Jia and Su Zhou | China Daily | Updated: 2016-07-16 07:51

An increasing number of vendors on China's online shopping site taobao.com have stopped selling dried mango imported from the Philippines since The Hague tribunal ruled against China in the South China Sea on Tuesday.

On the search page of the site, instead of the pictures of golden dried mango imported from the Philippines, many sellers put a map of China highlighting the South China Sea with words "I will never sell this product again. I am a small vendor and a Chinese, too."

"It's not for show. I mean it. No more imported snacks from the Philippines," said Jiajia, a snack vendor who declined to give her surname. "It's my own way to protest, and I will literately throw way the rest of the stock."
