I found this from 6/16/20


In hindsight, China did not really hide the death toll. I guess Beijing just decided to censor to avoid escalation of conflict?



So basically, a few troops when to negotiate with Indians, got overwhelmed, 1 managed to escape to bring reinforcements.

So it is true that Indians only fight when they outnumber the other side.

GT said single digits...Yes, 4 deaths are still too much.

Instead of counting beans like the Indians we should instead look at the conduct of the troops.

1) Chinese troops when surrounded by a greater force: fight to the death if necessary. Fight to the death to save fellow comrades.

2) Indian troops when surrounded by a superior force: run and hide even if it means jumping into icy cold river. Screw it if it means my fellow soldiers are in trouble.

I trust the official Chinese version of the story not just because of personal bias, but because the details match with the scant photographic and video evidence that we have. Indians particularly like to post a video of one Chinese soldier, a head shorter than the Indians he was facing, being tag teamed by multiple Indians. However, they fail to see that the guy never stopped fighting when the odds were clearly against him.

When numbers are more clearly matched we see the Jawans taking a drink in the icy Galwan River.

From what I read, they were ambushed during the negotiation with the Indians. I am wondering how could PLA tolerate such a despicable movement. They should pay the price!!

I believe the Indian soldiers went to the China side and set the tents on fire. That made the PLA soldiers angry and beat up the Indian soldiers. Reuters show satellite pictures of burn debris in the location of the clash.

India can pretend to permit investments, and china can also pretend to invest. Win win for both sides. Now had the indians not trashed the taiwanese factory, they might not need this but oh well.

Either way, nobody in India give a shit about this anymore. They are now concerned there is a global conspiracy against them from Rihanna to Disha Ravi.

See this funny post from Bakhts trying to delete the wiki article on Disha Ravi. Censorship goes all ways :)
