The CCP's media has been publicizing at full speed victory on the India-China border in the burial ceremony of the fallen soldiers, but citizens have not been allowed to question the true number of casualties.
Experts believe that the result of the CCP instigating the Sino-Indian conflict is actually a strategic failure.
Indian and Chinese military officials concluded their tenth round of negotiations on Feb.
20, announcing that the withdrawal of soldiers and weapons from the Pangongcao Lake has been completed.
However, in other disputed areas along the Line of Actual Control, the issue has not yet been resolved and further talks are needed.
On June 15 last year, Chinese and Indian troops clashed in the Gowon Valley.
The Indian side put the death toll in the conflict at 20, of which three were killed as a direct result of the conflict, and 17 were seriously injured and died from Quranic exposure to sub-zero temperatures.
It wasn't until February 19 that the CCP disclosed Chinese casualties for the first time, which include the deaths of a battalion commander and three soldiers, as well as the serious injury of a regiment commander.
Chinese social media celebrity, La Bi Xiaoqiu.
Small Crayon Ball doubted the official number and surmised that the wounded regiment commander survived the conflict because he was the highest official.
Since the other four died supposedly rescuing others, even those who tried to save others died, so there must have been some who were not saved, which means that not only four people were killed.
La Bi Xiaoqiu, whose real name is Chiu Zhiming, was a reporter for The Economic Observer.
He was later detained by authorities on suspicion of creating disturbance for disparaging the officers and soldiers of the country.
Another 28-year-old man, surnamed Chen, was arrested in Beijing on the night of February 20, and a 25-year-old man in Myangyang City, Sichuan Province, On February 22, the Times of India reported to the attention of three internet bloggers in China.
The report quotes Indian military officials as saying, We're killed in the Gowon Valley clash.
On June 16 last year, U.S. media quoted an American intelligence report as saying that 35 Chinese soldiers had been killed or seriously wounded.
Professor Yeun Tan Lee from the Graduate Institute of Development Studies at National Chengchi University in Taiwan noted that the violent and lying nature of the CCP has caused people to distrust it.
What's more terrible about autocracy is that you don't know how many people died, or if there's any death at all.
Human life matters.
Whether it's called the CCP virus or Wuhan epidemic, how many people died in Wuhan?
People don't believe it.
How many people died in this war?
People don't believe it either.
People questioned that more than four people died.
They are actually patriotic to ask this.
It turned out such freedom of speech was deemed as shaking the morale of the army or insulting the CCP's soldiers.
In response to the public outcry, the CCP, in addition to taking drastic steps to punish netizens for their comments, also publicized the details of compensation.
For the four dead soldiers, saying they would hold funeral ceremonies at martyrs' cemeteries in cities where their families live.
Xinhua Agency, the CCP's mouthpiece, first published video footage of the clash with India and quoted an article from the CCP's military newspaper in praise of soldiers defending the country.
Wu Chiang, a Chinese political scientist, told Apple Daily that it was a nationalistic mobilization effort.
This move, along with earlier reports of a salary increase for the armed forces, are all attempts to strengthen and prepare the armed forces.
In this Sino-Indian conflict, the CCP actually suffered a big loss and wanted to withdraw troops long ago.
Think about it.
It only pushed the line of actual control a little bit further in a desolate and uninhibited place, yet it led to WeChat and TikTok being banned in India.
Chinese companies' presence in India shrunk dramatically.
The loss was far greater than the CCP had expected, so great that Beijing would have given up long ago if not for its fates.
This time they finally came to terms.
The CCP would definitely take the chance and withdraw rapidly.
Military commentator Shen Zhuo believes that the CCP did not win the border war between China and India, either strategically or tactically.
Instead, it promoted the strengthening of U.S.-India relations in the four-way military alliance between the U.S., Japan, India, and Australia.
Yu Tarnley holds the same viewpoint.
The CCP didn't gain any benefits from its conflict with India.
For eight months in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, the CCP planes were all around harassing Taiwan.
As long as the CCP remains, its authoritarian nature is bound to external expansion.
Not only should the United States, India, Australia and Japan, the four most important countries in the Pacific, form a small NATO, liberal democracies around the world should all pay attention to the harm of the CCP's totalitarian expansion in the world and protect against it.
Shenzhou noted that at present, under the deterrence of the U.S. military and its allies, the CCP dares not to fight on both East and West Front simultaneously.
It has been forced to retreat from the West Front, focusing its attention on the military pressure in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the Taiwan Strait.
This shows that it's outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
However, it hasn't given up its expansionist ambitions.
