After a lapse of eight months, the Chinese Communist Party revealed for the first Time the list of casualties of the Sino-Indian border conflict. Then the Chinese authorities launched a new round of “patriotism” brainwashing propaganda, and official mouthpiece Hu Xijin encouraged netizens to “die for the country”, which was bombarded by netizens. A well-known commentator bet on Hu Xijin with a few months’ salary that he would not dare to let his son go back to the country to join the army to fight in the war, and Hu Xijin even responded in a high profile.
Shortly after China and India withdrew their troops from the border standoff area, on February 19 the Chinese Communist Party officially announced for the first time that four soldiers were killed in the Sino-Indian border conflict last June, in addition to an officer Qi Fa Bao who was seriously injured. However, sources also said the number of casualties among the Chinese military far exceeded these figures.
On the same day, Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the official Chinese media Global Times, posted a video on Weibo about Qi Fabao. In the video, Qi tells an Indian soldier through an interpreter, “Get out, now get out immediately …… if you don’t want to fight!”
Hu Xijin said in a comment, “If you don’t want to fight, get out! …… men should live and die like they do.” The remarks drew strong discontent from mainland netizens.
The 20th, the mainland well-known commentator Wang Yajun said on Twitter: Hu Xijin teacher said passionate fighting spirit, I firmly support Hu Xijin teacher’s initiative, but also take a stand, if Hu Xijin son from abroad after graduation to go to war, I donated three months salary! If Jin Canrong’s son comes back from Canada to go to the front line, I donate five months’ salary; if Chen Ping’s and Li Yi’s sons come back from the United States to go to the frontier, I donate eight months’ salary; if Zhang Weiwei’s son graduates from abroad and goes to the army, I donate one year’s salary!
Wang Yajun had been detained for 10 days by the Chinese Communist Party police after writing several articles last year focusing on the Wuhan Epidemic.
However, Hu Xijin, who has an account on Twitter, did not respond directly to the above comment, but screenshotted the tweet and posted it to his mainland Weibo account, which has 24.1 million followers.
And Hu Xijin responded on Weibo, saying: “You are also worthy to say this about Laohu? Old Hu has been in the military for 11 years, and has personally experienced two wars since becoming a journalist, and has heard the chirping sound of bullets whistling past his ears. You’re a bloodthirsty snob who’s not even as good as a eunuch, but wants to prove he’s still noble!
Hu Xijin encouraged netizens to “die for the country” and was bombarded by netizens. Wang Yajun bet Hu Xijin with “three months’ salary” that he would not dare to let his son go back to the country to fight in the war, and Hu Xijin even gave a rare response. (Web screenshot)
Apparently, Hu Xijin is very concerned about the outside world’s claim that his children are living in foreign countries. In October last year, Apple Daily revealed that Hu Xijin’s son had emigrated to Canada. In December of the same year, Hu Xijin was reported by Duan Jingtao, deputy editor-in-chief of the Global Times, for having “inappropriate sexual relations with two female subordinates and having an illegitimate child”, but both were denied by Hu Xijin.
Wang Yajun and Hu Xijin “gambling”, while Hu Xijin but “avoiding the important, but light”, triggering netizens hot debate.
Many netizens said: “A positive answer, your son will go to war? The kind of gun, not like you hang a press card to go shopping around.” “The hotel in the war zone is also a war zone, I went to the hotel in the war zone nesting reports, can also be said to be a war reporter.”
“Eunuch Hu is confused, right? And again? He did not say you ah, he is pointing to your son.” “Old Hu pay attention to the identity, after all, a full hall level media people scolded like this is a loss of identity.”
“Back then you were barefoot and penniless, now your son is wearing shoes abroad! Do you shed? Only will scream barefoot poor Family children to be cannon fodder, shameless! All day long, those who scream about war sacrifice are the ones who won’t go to war!”
“There are so many Han only children, many in the army are only children, a soldier casualty, the community destroyed a family, but also a pair of lost Parents, why old Hu snubbed other people’s children to go to the front to die?”
“Positive answer is not good, why you “elite” sons are abroad, but also in Europe and the United States, you have been playing hard to scold Europe and the United States, so deep in the fire, hurry to let the children back ah, suffer that crime to do?”
Why did the Chinese Communist Party announce the Sino-Indian border conflict only after 8 months?
On February 19, while the Chinese Communist Party officially announced the news of last year’s Sino-Indian border conflict, the Global Times published an editorial explaining why the authorities announced the news at this time, saying that it “shows the country’s strategic wisdom and sense of rhythm in handling complex affairs.
However, according to China expert Yokogawa, if only four Chinese soldiers were killed in action, while India reported more than 20 dead at the beginning, China should have reported it immediately, as small casualties are a victory. Therefore, the 43-45 deaths on the Chinese side, as reported from many sources, is more credible.
After the Chinese soldiers were killed in action, they could only be buried locally and could not go back to their hometowns, and their families were forbidden to disclose their names to the public. This is unthinkable in a free society. The actual status of a soldier is cannon fodder, no matter how beautifully it is called (by the official media).
Yokohama said that the Chinese Communist soldiers are fighting for what? Hu Xijin is just letting the leeks go to die. The army is the party’s, war dead not for the country but for the party. Their own homes can not keep being demolished. Do not underestimate, this issue of who to fight for is very important and will definitely affect morale.
