After months of tension, India announced Sunday that its troops have been withdrawn from the disputed Himalayan border with China. At the same Time, following Nanjing, Beijing, Hubei has repeatedly spread the news of the arrest of netizens questioning the number of Chinese dead and wounded in the Sino-Indian conflict.
AFP reported that the Indian military announced the withdrawal of Chinese and Indian troops from the area of Bangong Lake where the two countries’ armies had fierce confrontations that resulted in serious casualties.
On Feb. 21, the Chinese Ministry of Defense also released a news release saying that the Chinese and Indian armies held the 10th round of military commander-level talks on the Chinese side from Mordor – Chushul on the 20th. The talks made important progress and both armies have completed the withdrawal of troops from the Bangong Lake area.
AFP reported that the border line between the conflict sites is not clearly defined, and both sides often accuse each other of encroaching on territory. India shares a 3,500-kilometer-long border with China, and the two sides have territorial disputes elsewhere, excluding the Bangong Lake area.
The last serious bloodshed between Chinese and Indian troops occurred in June 2020, the worst clash between the two countries since the 1962 border war, after which the Indian side quickly announced that 20 Indian soldiers had died in the clash; the Chinese side, which has remained silent about its own casualties, did not announce until Feb. 19 that four soldiers had died. The announcement sparked much debate about the veracity of the figure, but officials did not tolerate any skepticism and took strong measures to suppress it, with a number of arrests.
A webmaster named “Spicy Pen Small Ball” commented, “…you carefully taste, the four sacrificed because of the “rescue” and merit, even to save people were sacrificed, then there must be There are not rescued ah, indicating that not only four people were killed in action. This is the reason why India dared to announce the number and list of the dead in the first place, in India’s view, they won and at a smaller cost.” He was then arrested by the Nanjing Public Security Bureau for “defaming the martyrs.

On the 21st, the police in Mianyang, Sichuan Province, informed that they had arrested a netizen with the screen name “well-known Zed” for posting a comment in the comment section of Sina Weibo that “denigrated and degraded the officers and soldiers of the heroes who guarded the country’s borders”. Heroic martyrs are not allowed to desecrate”. The decision was made to “punish the netizen Yang with administrative detention for 7 days according to the law”.
