BEIJING — A video produced by China’s state-run news media that features racist stereotypes of Indians has come under fire, adding to tensions between China and India as the two countries struggle to resolve a simmering border standoff.

The English-language video, published by Xinhua, the official news agency of China’s central government, attempts to use humor to discredit India’s contention that China is not the rightful owner of a strategic stretch of land in the Himalayas.

The three-minute clip offers stereotypes, stilted jokes and canned laughter, using a scissors-wielding man with a fake beard and a turban to represent India. He is shown at various points snoring loudly, waving his arms in fear and using scissors to threaten a man representing a neighboring country, Bhutan.
