A few days ago, the Chinese Communist Party revealed for the first Time the alleged number and list of dead and wounded on the Chinese side in last June’s Sino-Indian conflict. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the mouthpiece media Global Times, took the opportunity to hype nationalist sentiment, even saying that men should die like soldiers on the border. The remarks drew the discontent of mainland netizens.
According to official news from the Chinese Communist Party, Qi Fabao, the head of a border guard regiment, was seriously injured in the conflict and was awarded the title of “Heroic Head of the Border Guard” by the Central Military Commission.
On Feb. 19, Hu Xijin posted a video of Qi Fa Bao on Weibo. Qi then said through an interpreter to an Indian soldier, “Get out, get out now, or they will bear all the consequences of this. If you don’t want to fight, get out! Get out! I don’t like them.”
Hu Xijin sent a comment text saying, “If you don’t want to fight, get out! Qi Fa Bao, the chief of the army, roared from the distant national border. I think, if the motherland needs, men should go live and die like them.”
There are netizens for the garrison soldiers, but there are also many netizens dissatisfied with Hu Xijin “just talk but not practice”.
Some people said, “That old Hu is not a man?” “Old Hu, you go first.” “Old Hu just online screaming, fighting a war you go? To build their own aspirations on the sacrifice of others, such people shameless!” “I’m willing to donate one of Laohu’s lives for the motherland.”

Some netizens pointed out that most of those stationed at the border are children of poor families, and Hu Xijin and the Chinese Communist Party’s power elite are sending their own children to developed countries while they are playing lip service.
Someone said, “When will your son come back from the U.S. Empire to garrison the border?”
“Then may I ask where the academic professors of Chen Ping’s stream have sent their children?”
“It is suggested that in the future the party should establish a rule that newly promoted cadres above the division level, to the grassroots first-line company garrison for 2 years, deputy hall to raise the main hall, deputy ministry to raise the main ministry of the leadership of the children must have a person to join the military garrison.”
“Then please ask Laohu to say such words, how come you yourself do not go to the front line? Everyone has Parents and relatives, and they deserve to die? Is this human talk?”
“Hu’s badness goes to the marrow. Let other people’s sons and daughters play real guns, and your own sons and daughters play mouth guns.”

There are also netizens who say, “Soldiers are not afraid of death, but do not want to defend those corrupt officials who bend the law, developers who forcibly demolish the houses of the people, and city managers who beat up traders.”
“Laohu have you thought about it? My Chinese nation of propriety and justice, how did it become so many antagonists all of a sudden? Who do you think wants to go to war? War is going to kill people ha!”
In addition, the CCP also released the names of four dead soldiers, Chen Hongjun, the commander of a machine infantry battalion, and soldiers Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan and Wang Zhuo Ran.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying claimed that the announcement was made after more than six months in order to “promote the cooling down and de-escalation of the situation, reflecting China’s temperament and commitment as a responsible power.”
In response, netizens did not buy it. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
“I still remember when you said you had insider information that only a few people in the PLA were slightly injured, and I believed you…”
“The first time I dared not report my own casualties, what peace, what goodwill, to make cowardice and incompetence look so refreshing! The Empress Dowager Cixi could have crawled out of her grave in anger!”
