All these hidden info and lack of information-release on China's part has made China look like the bad guy in the International Media, on top of all the negativity being piled on China ( justified or not) since the Covid Pandemic.
Unless the PLA and China learn to overcome this mental block, or fear of information, no matter how advanced the Chinese society may become, or how benevolent the Chinese people maybe towards their neighbours, the 'evil' and ' cunning' and 'duplicitous' perception of China in the eyes of the world will never change.
After all that has been said and done after the Galwan incident, China has lost the information warfare, plain and simple, no matter how much some may try to twist it. It was not due to some genius on India's part, heck the Indian media and Government were at a loss for sometime, but the 'deafening' silence from China made the Indians seize the opportunity, through mostly false narratives, and put themselves in a better light by propagating their own viewpoints for months through almost all their national TV channels, Internet outlets and Print Media.
I hope this is an eye-opener for China. Let the Chinese people see the World as it is. Let them see how people view them and let them make their own judgements and choices, which may include pressuring the government at times to take action against People or nations that are blatantly trying to harm them.
India has retaliated with a lot of economic and diplomatic measures against China since the Galwan incident, whether those have been effective or not is another issue. Whereas, China seems to be so timid, even to the point of their Government witholding such first-hand video evidence. This is not the attitude of a forward-looking nation.
I really hope China becomes better and stronger through this incident. The world needs a strong China, especially during these times when there is not proper leadership in the world.
