US people use to see Russians in the scary dreams during the cold war. Because they had an inner fear to USSR.

Now Indians see Chinese in their scary dreams. Its a military phobia.

India should not be afraid!
They were simple Chinese tourists visiting Sri Lankan coastal areas.
If anybody has seen 'Chinese faces', it is also normal: it was a 'Halloween day' boat ride.
It can be a dream.
Drink some water, chu karala, go back to bed, my child!
