Eight months after a border clash between Chinese and Indian forces erupted in the Ladakh region of the western Himalayas last June, Chinese officials announced for the first Time on 19 June that four soldiers from the Chinese side were killed in the border clash. Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Global Times, a hawkish mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, took the opportunity to hype nationalist sentiments and even said that men should die like soldiers on the border. The comments drew the displeasure of Chinese “leeks,” who snapped, “You go first, Old Hu!”
According to official Chinese news, Qi Fabao, the head of a border guard regiment, was seriously injured in the conflict and awarded the title of “Heroic Head of the Border Guard” by the Central Military Commission. 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 live and die like them.”
Many netizens are dissatisfied with Hu Xijin’s “talk but not practice”. Some people said, “So is Laohu a man?” “Old Hu, you go first.” “Old Hu is 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 Laohu’s one Life 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 playing lip service while sending their own children to countries that have been developed.
Some people said, “When will your son come back from the U.S. Empire to garrison the border?” “Let other people’s sons and daughters play the real gun, and your own sons and daughters play the verbal gun.”
Hu Xijin also tweeted from outside the wall on the 18th, pointing out that “four Chinese soldiers died in the clashes in Garhwan Valley last year. He said China delayed the announcement to avoid irritating India and categorized it as “goodwill”, which was wildly tweeted by a large number of foreign netizens.
Some netizens wrote, “This is the biggest lie of 2021”, “I did not expect the Chinese military to be so considerate, but also to take care of the face of the enemy …… communists think that people around the world are fools. “
The Chinese media “Observer” has disclosed last month that China has equipped the People’s Liberation Army guarding the India-China border with a so-called “new single soldier digital combat system”, which has a self-destruction device that can be activated by the soldier himself, the commander once he finds the soldier abnormally off the team and can not be contacted, can also remotely start the device to let the soldier “self-destruct”.
