<h5>What is Chinese manjha?</h5><p>Chinese manjha is a glass-coated synthetic string that is used to fly kites. These strings are very deadly as they are tough to break. They are created by melting and combining polymers. Next, the strings are coated with glass to make them sharp.</p><p>Though named “Chinese manjha,” these strings do not come from China. In fact, they are manufactured in different Indian states. The name is given as the manjha is made using synthetic polypropylene, which comes from China. The reason for its popularity is that it doesn’t cost much to buy.
