Getting there, buddy.
This is why media matters, it sets the expectations of a nation. Expectations can embolden or subdue the population on the lower end of the bell curve. There will always be a portion of the population that aren't rational but the difference is how much influence they have on the mainstream society. Take America for example, the extremist right wingers always existed in America however Trumps rhetoric boosted a sense of righteousness for them helping to create critical mass. It is not just particular to right wing rhetoric.
When the media appeals to sensationalism and sells short term dopamine rather than long term benefit this is what happens (maybe this is part of a larger strategy?). That portion of society feels emboldened in their ignorance which crowds out the sensible ones where many don't want to engage in discourse with these people when there isn't a common set of decorum.
Then there is the bulk of society who just goes with the strongest narrative because as expected they are preoccupied with their own lives and cannot devote much energy in analysing all narratives they are bombarded with.
Traditional media in China is quite boring and produces more "positive statements" rather than "normative statements", just look at their news reports, especially economic ones. This sets the expectations for the broader society. There are definitely those who consume sensationalist media but they get called 脑残(braindead) by their own compatriots. I think Deng Xiaoping's policy of pragmatism set a certain standard for China's society.

Tried the alternative during Cultural Revolution and nobody wants to go through that kind of crazy again.
For those who doubt the statement above, America of today serves a good reminder...
This is intentional and strategic!
Part of their game is to obfuscate the truths so much and pollute the facts with nonsense so that it becomes utterly impossible to have constructive dialogue. This doesn't only apply to Ladakh issues but the macro chessboard. These nations are "democratic" and their voter power counts for something. Manipulating the sentiments and internal thinking of their sheeple is god to them. China runs its own version of this with a slightly different execution of internal management but the CCP's ways pale in effectiveness compared to the rest.
Completely wrong. India used T-71B3 as Russian itself said T-90 is not suitable for such competions and which is why Russia itself has Never Ever fielded a single of their own T-90 at the biathlon.
I just wanted to clarify if this is a legit government of India website? If so then India shipped their own T90s or are you telling me the info from the government of India itself is wrong and this is some form of media-ception.
Swift RetortbOp by PAF was huge confience booster for IAF. Even though IAF was outnumbered 6:1 temporarily, PAF only managed to shoot one antique disposable tin can (mig 21) plus not a single scratch on Su-30s & Mirage 2Ks and PAF ran away after 20 Indian 4th gen fighter jets reached as reinforcements
