Lets say you have a big house, and to generate extra income you have a room which you can give to a paying guest.
Now if that room is empty, you're ok. You will not have that extra income, but you're not dependent on it.

+ Lets say you get a paying guest. When he comes, you will tell him, you can use the room, if you bring guests take prior permission, dont paint on the walls, no noise after midnight, etc etc. You lay the ground rules, and if the guy agrees he moves in.

Now everything is going ok. But then you realise one day, that the guy is making unwelcome advances on some member of your family. So you reprimand him.
Few days later you come to know, he is allowing unscrupulous characters inside the room through a side entrance.

You reprimand him again. Then you find out, he is passing off information about the house members, ages, preferences, sex, education, etc to thieves outside the house. Further you find out that he has actually been stealing the stuff that was in the room!

Now this is the limit. Yes the extra bit of cash was fun. You managed to get a paint job for your house with it. Maybe go for a few dinners with it. Get a polish on your car with it. But now this paying guest has become more pain than he is worth!

Now this person who was enjoying a lot of privileges is on the street. To harass you, he contacts your neighbours who he knows are very petty, and jealous because your success bothers them. He gets them to come and bother you.

Your neighbour comes and says. How ungrateful of you. Return the food you ate with the money he gave you in rent. You should also scrape the paint off your walls and return it to him. Not to mention the polish of your car, etc etc.

Some extra loyal neighbours (loyal to the scum paying guest obviously) will even go so far as to tell you, why dont you shut down that room where he stayed forever, or better still...just burn that room to the ground.

Now your response will be: I earned that money. Whatever money that paying guest contributed to my household was a direct result of a facility I had provided to him. Boarding and lodging.

When the PG came to stay, he knew the rules. He evaluated the room. Only when it fit his objectives he decided to stay here. If he had a better or cheaper room elsewhere that met his objectives, he would have gone there. We didnt invite him.

family members, he stole from us, and encouraged others to try and break in. As a result of this, we have withdrawn this facility that we gave him, and he has stopped paying us rent since he doesnt stay here anymore. This is fair.

Why should I destroy my room, just because he stayed there? Its not the room's fault that he is unscrupulous. Why should I return any money that he has paid to me? It was in exchange of a service i provided to him!

If he is willing to give me back the value of the service including the profits he made from all the objectives of his that were met by living here, than I can consider returning the funds to him.

Just because he stayed with us, doesnt mean that he had control of the house. Heck he technically did not even control the room he stayed in, as is evidenced by me throwing him out after his shenanigans became intolerable.

While he may have said stuff during our family meetings, and we might have kept quiet out of politeness, it doesnt mean he had a voice in our affairs. We cant physically shut his mouth can we? That is not our ethos. So we simply ignored what he was saying.

Please use the above analogy to explain the situation to geniuses who are breaking bangles on Chinese apps being shown the door.
The PG is the Chinese companies, the room is the place for the business they ran, and the landlord is India.
