India ‘hyped’ Galwan casualties, distorted truth, says China ahead of Corps commander talks

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

China said it exercised great restraint while India repeatedly exaggerated the casualties from last year's violent clashes and misled international public opinion.

China Friday once again blamed India for the ongoing tensions at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh and said New Delhi had “exaggerated” Galwan casualties.

This comes in the backdrop of the Indian and Chinese troops completing their disengagement at the Pangong Tso area.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said New Delhi “distorted the truth” about the Galwan Valley clash in June that killed 20 Indian soldiers.

“In a bid to maintain the general picture of relations between the two countries and two armies and to promote the cooling down and de-escalation of the situation, China has exercised great restraint, reflecting China’s tolerance and commitment as a responsible power. However, the Indian side has repeatedly exaggerated and hyped the casualties, distorting the truth and misleading international public opinion,” the spokesperson said at press conference.

“Now the PLA Daily has published a report on the incident to reveal the truth. I think it is good for people to understand the truth, and the right and wrong of the incident, which is also a proper tribute to the heroic martyrs defending the country.”

The PLA Daily is the official newspaper of the Chinese military.

The Ministry of External Affairs is yet to respond to China’s remarks.

Meanwhile, Chinese state media released a video and several pictures, portraying Indian troops as the aggressors in the Galwan Valley clash, on a day the country, for the first time, officially announced the death of four of its officers and soldiers in the clash.

Indian media’s malicious distortion over China releasing information, casualties a typical face-saving exercise

Five Chinese frontier officers and soldiers stationed in the Karakoram Mountains have been recognized by the Central Military Commission of China for defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity in the Galwan Valley border clash in June 2020. Four of them died when dealing with the Indian military’s illegal trespassing of the Galwan Valley Line of Actual Control.

As a response, some Indian media and public opinion either hinted at or directly doubted China’s “concealment” of actual casualties. Some Indian media even maliciously distorted the facts and exaggerated the casualties on the Chinese side, trying to save face.

This shows that many people in India place themselves in a weak position. Considering India’s humiliating defeat in the 1962 China-India War, many Indian people are desperately longing for a victory. Therefore, they insist that New Delhi has won this time, regardless of the facts.

Indeed, China’s national strength is far stronger than that of India. China’s GDP is about five times that of India, and China’s defense budget is nearly three times that of India. This being the case, the two countries’ armies have still started to disengage simultaneously, which can be regarded as a “victory” for India to some extent because India could have suffered a huge loss.

Strategically, it is China’s good wish to not have military conflicts with India and try its best to resolve disputes through peaceful means. However, Indian public opinion regards this as Beijing’s “weakness.” New Delhi cannot accept the failure and thus it portrays itself as a winner. There is actually no basis for India to exaggerate casualties of the Chinese side. Some Indian people are eager to win and they feel that only by exaggerating Chinese casualties can they prove India has won. Therefore, Indian media and public opinion are deceiving themselves and distorting the facts, trying to regain a little confidence.

An Indian netizen said on Twitter that “if only 4 had died” then China “wouldn’t have pulled back.” This represents a general tendency of Indian public opinion. They believe that if China really obtained such a big advantage, then Chinese soldiers would have to launch a full attack. But China did not do so, so they doubt the information released by Chinese officials. Indian public opinion not only fails to understand China’s restraint, but is even wantonly discrediting the Chinese side.

India has been influenced by a Western mentality, including the zero-sum mentality. Indian public opinion does not understand China’s sincerity in resolving disputes. It is difficult for many Indian people to understand why China would exercise restraint when the country has an advantage in its national strength, military and economy. China could have easily resolved the border dispute with India through war, but China did not.

Also, the Chinese side chose to unveil the details of the four People’s Liberation Army martyrs now because China did not want to hype domestic national sentiment. If China unveiled the details during the Galwan Valley border clash, then it would cause anger across China. China still hopes to resolve disputes with India through peaceful means and we do not have the intention to wage war against India.

But Indian public opinion does not understand this. This reflects that many Indian people believe in the law of the jungle -- they believe that whoever is strong has the reason to attack. They do not understand China’s restraint, nor do they understand a country’s development relies mainly on domestic reform, economic development and people’s diligence and wisdom. Therefore, India has failed to understand why China has developed so fast. This also explains why India’s development lags far behind that of China. This is determined by their mentality.

Thus, India’s overall mentality has not changed much compared with 1962. India is still so conceited and arrogant. New Delhi knew it well that it lacks the strength to provoke Beijing, but it still made the wrong decision because of the strong domestic nationalist sentiment.

But in 1962, China and India lacked mutual understanding and to a great extent, misjudgments led to the China-India War. Now, China and India know each other quite well and they also have a clearer understanding of each other’s national strength. India should know that if it really launches a war against China due to domestic sentiment, it may suffer from a more humiliating defeat compared with 1962. This is also the reason why India dare not act too rashly despite its tough attitude.

China does not need to care too much about the radical Indian media and public opinion. Indeed, some Chinese individuals can discuss the issue with Indian netizens and the facts must also be clarified. But China has the strategic determination to not care about some Indian people’s self-entertainment.

IndIa came very close to being squashed like a macchar. They should join their hands together and be thankful that China showed restraint.

 

[beijingwalker]

Now Chinese social media is going wild as the government expected, people are crying for blood all over Chinese social media. It has come to this point of no return.

 

[masterchief_mirza]

INdeed, if 20 dead from blunt force trauma, puncture wounds, and enforced drowning is what "restraint" looks like, does India really want to see what an unrestrained attack would look like?

If the Chinese don't care, they shouldn't be writing editorials about it. Haha. Keep lying.

Didn't you kill 300 in Pakistan on the 26th Feb and on the 27th your army chief ran for his life and your airforce didn't take off and your air defence even shot down your own helicopter. Fact is you indian in the womb are taught 2 things...lie and rape

If China calls up the country for a war on India now, no mobilisation needed, the social media did it already.

Shame you didn't and instead packed up and left.

Not before killing 20 scums and capturing more.

Then what are you waiting for ?

Shame you didn't and instead packed up and left.

LOL. Its funny how they are now stroking the fire after WITHDRAWING from occupied posts and dismanteling the posts.

Its like a comedy series.

INdeed, if 20 dead from blunt force trauma, puncture wounds, and enforced drowning is what "restraint" looks like, does India really want to see what an unrestrained attack would look like?

We waited 8 months on the border to see that.

But sadly they withdrew without showing us

Maybe if you request them they might reconsider ?

 

[beijingwalker]

Neither China nor the Chinese public thought that India was an emeny before, now it is. We'll see what will pan out in the future. China's economy and defence budget are both many times bigger than India, we will see where this newly transformed relationship will take us to.
For India, a two front war is not just a possibility now, it's a matter of when.

Must be some kind of record. Claiming to kill more and then running away.

You "waited" for China to attack? They were already sitting on your territory so you bravely *waited* for them to show you who's boss?

That's like me challenging an opponent to a bar fight and giving him the big "come on then!" after he's already ripped my spleen out.
