China’s military used microwave weapons to force Indian troops to retreat during a months-long border standoff in the Himalayas, according to an account that has emerged in Beijing.
Its forces had turned two strategic hilltops that had been occupied by Indian soldiers ‘into a microwave oven’, forcing them to retreat and allowing the positions to be retaken without an exchange of conventional fire, according to Jin Canrong, a professor of international relations at Beijing-based Renmin University.
In a lecture he said that the People’s Liberation Army “beautifully” seized the ground without violating a no-live-shot rule governing the rules of engagement in the high-altitude standoff between the two Asian powers. Microwave weapons focus high frequency electro-magnetic pulses or beams at targets and cause irritation and pain

I think these are the videos where Professor Jin Canrong confirmed the news that directed energy and laser weapons have been used by PLA against Indian soldiers at Pangong Pso on LAC.

Chinese soldiers deployed microwave weapons against Indian troops, says professor

Chinese soldiers allegedly used microwave weapons against Indian troops in an attempt to take the area around the contested Pangong Tso lake, according to a state-honored scholar from China.
Jin Canrong, the associate dean of the School of International Relations at the Renmin University of China, claimed in a video that the People’s Liberation Army had, without firing a single bullet, taken back the region around Pangong Tso that had been occupied by Indian troops.
The Chinese army was under pressure to reclaim the region but was ordered not to open fire, Jin said. “Then they thought of a wild strategy, which was to use microwave weapons,” he said.
The PLA activated the weapons and aimed it at the top of a hill, which then became a “microwave oven,” said Jin. “Those on top of the hill then began vomiting not long after. They could not even stand on their feet. They fled and [the PLA] took the threshold back,” said the professor, who has been honored as a Chang Jiang Scholar by the state.
A microwave weapon is a directed-energy weapon that aims at targets with highly concentrated microwaves. Other directed-energy weapons include those that do damage with sonic and laser energy.
Some netizens speculated that the type of microwave weapon used in the India-China border clash was similar to those deployed in a series of mysterious attacks on U.S. consulate employees in China and Cuba. Since 2016, dozens of U.S. consulate employees reported mild traumatic brain injuries after hearing strange, piercing sounds. Such incidents were first reported in Cuba in 2016, which led Washington to recall its consulate staff from the country and expel Cuban diplomats from the U.S.
Similar attacks have happened in China, first in Guangzhou in 2018 and then in Beijing and Shanghai, prompting Washington to send consulate staffers back home to the U.S. Sonic weapons were initially suspected to have been deployed to target consulate employees and their families. But after two years of investigation, microwave weapons were found to be the culprit.
India and China have been embroiled in a tense military standoff along the Himalayan border since a deadly clash in June. The two countries may be close to ending the rivalry, with plans of setting up no-patrol zones in the western Himalayas, Al Jazeera reported.
