China intensifying propaganda warfare against India

New Delhi – China has resorted to propaganda warfare after miserably failing on LAC to put pressure on India despite having heavy military deployment on the border. A video released on social media shows the Chinese soldiers stationed near Ladakh’s LAC dancing. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying has called it ‘cool and cute’. However, the video is trolled by Indian netizens, which is a fitting response to China’s propaganda war.

For the past few months, China has been pretending to do a lot on the LAC from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese army has launched a campaign to build a village on the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh. By this narrative, China wants to portray taking a huge lead against the Indian army. China’s propaganda warfare, as well as psychological pressure tactics, are no secret to anyone. The Chief of Defence Staff of India, General Bipin Rawat, has taken a serious cognisance on the matter.

General Bipin Rawat said that a façade was being created that the Indian and Chinese armies clashed on the LAC in Ladakh, and then enraged China built a village on Indian soil, on the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh which is untrue. General Rawat has warned Indians not to fall prey to the Chinese propaganda because China wants it. General Rawat had said that not even an inch of Indian land fell into China’s hands. Indian military sources said that this part of the LAC in Arunachal Pradesh, where China is preparing to build a settlement, has been under Chinese occupation since 1959.

This single incident revealed that China was trying its best to increase pressure on the Indian army. Following this, a video of Chinese soldiers dancing at LAC in Ladakh was posted on social media to show that Chinese soldiers were in good shape, even in the Ladakh winter. A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said in a statement that the video would be released to the public. But the situation of Chinese troops on the LAC of Ladakh is dire. The winter in Ladakh is claimed to be a major crisis for the Chinese forces.

Considering last year’s experience, it has been repeatedly revealed that although the Chinese army is preparing to face the winter in Ladakh, the Chinese troops have not yet been able to adapt to the weather. In such a scenario, China needs to show that its troops are in good shape. However, this video of China was ridiculed and trolled by Indians on social media. The wedding season is currently underway in India. A former Indian Army official has commented that these dancing Chinese soldiers may demand marriage ceremonies.
