OUR TAKE:
Chinese manjha, also known as Chinese glass-coated kite string, is a type of kite string that is coated with powdered glass or metal. It is known for its sharpness and strength, which makes it popular among kite enthusiasts. However, the use of Chinese manjha has also been associated with accidents and injuries, as the sharp string can pose a danger to people, animals, and even infrastructure.
