In the new round of Sino-Indian border conflict that lasted for several months, the Indian side claimed that 20 soldiers were killed, while the Chinese side has always been unclear about the number, which has led to various discussions, and the number of people killed in the PLA was rumored from 5 to 43.
However, Chinese Communist Party leader Cai Changyuan’s son Cai Xiaoxin said on Weibo At 18:00 on June 24th that “five heroes were injured by daggers for defending our homeland, and two of them were gone the day before yesterday after eight days of resuscitation,” which confirms the rumors of “5 Chinese troops injured” on June 17th.
In addition, Cai Xiaoxin also revealed that India claimed to have 20 Indian troops killed, but the actual situation is that a total of 47 Indian troops died.
In addition, Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of the Chinese official media “Global Times”, said in the latest article, “I believe that the dead have been treated most nobly in the army, and the relevant information will eventually inform the whole society at the appropriate time, so that the heroes get their due respect and remembrance”, also implying casualties in the PLA.
The Chinese Ministry of National Defense stated on June 24 that the responsibility for the Sino-Indian conflict is entirely in India, stating that the Indian army deliberately provoked first and the PLA counterattack came later. Earlier, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a clear call to Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar to severely punish the perpetrators. This kind of formulation is often attributed to casualties in the PLA.
After the incident, the Indian media kept disclosing the injuries of the conflict, sayings that three people were killed, including a colonel, and then 17 other Indian troops died after the conflict due to poor rescue and serious injuries. Out of the “equivalence principle”, the Indian media also disclosed the so-called number of casualties of the People’s Liberation Army, ranging from 5 at the beginning to 43 later.
In response, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs refuted this, saying that it was a rumor; the Chinese military media account “Jun Zhengping” replied that “these rumours are so arrogant and unreasonable, self-righteous…maliciously distorting China’s goodwill.”
However, Cai Xiaoxin deleted the microblog shortly after publishing the aforementioned Weibo. As for why China is so obscure, Hu Xijin said that this is to take care of Indians’ sentiment, so as not to arouse greater nationalist sentiment in New Delhi. However, at present, the anti-China atmosphere in India is certainly strong.
Before and after the Sino-Indian conflict, Chinese and Indian border guards held two military-level talks. For the first time on June 15, and the second time on June 22, according to reports, India demanded that the PLA evacuate the conflict site and dismantle the military facilities built in the rear, with a tough attitude. Online video shows that the Indian army is constantly increasing troops near Ladakh.
The latest satellite photos show that on June 22, the PLA has built huge fortifications at the scene of the conflict, and there are also a continuous convoy and tents in the rear. This shows that China will not give up the actual control it has obtained. Just as there is a saying in China, the PLA does not easily change the status quo, but if the opponent first destroys the status quo, then this “status quo” will never go back.
Chinese have five injures soldiers mean they may suffer 0-1 death during fighting because usually in fighting injuries nombers alway higher than death
