Original title: Media restored the Sino-Indian border clash for the first time.
On the afternoon of the 19th, the spokesman for the National Defense Ministry, Ren Guoqiang, said that public reporting of heroic deeds by the Chinese media is the responsibility of the media to objectively report the deeds. It is conducive to clarifying the truth and listening to the truth so that the world can see what is right and what is wrong.
On the morning of the 19, Chinese state media reported on the advanced events of the China-India Border Task Force, restoring the detailed process of the Sino-Indian border confrontation in June 2020, and announced the list of four martyrs: Commander of the Chen Hongjun Battalion, Warrior Chen Xiangrong, Warrior Xiao Siyuan, Warrior Wang Zhuoran. Furthermore, Chief Qi Fabao took the lead and was seriously injured. The Central Military Commission awarded Qi Fabao the honorary title of “The Hero of Border Defense” and posthumously awarded the honorary title of “The Hero of Border Defense” to Chen Hongjun, awarding Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan and Wang Zhuoran first merits her.
On the afternoon of the same day, Ren Guoqiang responded to journalists’ questions about the advanced deeds of front-line officers and soldiers in the border defense fight. Ren Guoqiang said that in June last year, the Indian army illegally crossed the line, took the lead in the provocation, and violently attacked Chinese negotiators, deliberately creating conflict in the Kalwan Valley, causing casualties on both sides, and the side Indian was solely responsible.
After the conflict, China maintained a high degree of restraint to maintain the general situation of relations between the two countries and the two armies, and promoted the cooling and relaxation of the situation, which embodies the tolerance of China as a responsible power. However, the Indian side has repeatedly exaggerated the casualties, distorted the truth, misled international public opinion, and slandered the officers and soldiers of the Chinese border defense forces.
The story cannot be altered and the heroes cannot be forgotten. Public reporting on heroes by the Chinese media is the responsibility of the media to objectively report the facts. It is conducive to clarifying the truth and listening to the truth so that the world can see what is right and wrong.
Ren Guoqiang once again emphasized that China’s position on resolving the China-India border issue is clear, consistent and sincere. He has always been committed to resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiation, and has always been committed to maintaining the overall situation in China. Indian relations between the two armies, and always promises to do so as soon as possible. Promote the cooling and relaxation of the situation, and restore peace and tranquility in the border area between China and India as soon as possible.
It should be noted that this morning, the official media reported that “the foreign military violated the agreement between the two countries” and the description of “in June, the foreign military blatantly violated the consensus reached with us and blatantly crossed the line to provoke” Different , Ren Guoqiang’s reply bluntly called the “Indian Army” and “India”. On the one hand, this subtle difference reflects the official attitude on the matter, and on the other hand, media reports have spread China’s goodwill.
Analysts believe that the timely response of the Ministry of National Defense to the outside world after the media reports shows that the Chinese people are acting reasonably. At the beginning of the conflict between the two armed forces, the Indian media reported high-profile casualties. If China announces the casualty figures at this time, it is not conducive to China’s commitment to resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiation.
Once the tension on the Sino-Indian border stabilized, China chose to reestablish the events, announce the casualties, commemorate the risky spirit of the front-line officers and soldiers, and prevent the escalation of the confrontation between the two armed forces at the time. that the tensions between the two parties at that time. The confrontation of the people of the country has thus demonstrated the rationality and responsibility of a great responsible country, showing an “image of a lion with wisdom and good will”. At the same time, the statement of the Ministry of National Defense demonstrated once again that the ability of the Chinese military to vigorously defend national sovereignty and security is beyond question.
Qian Feng, director of the Research Department of the National Institute for Strategic Studies at Tsinghua University, told the Global Times on 19 that when China and India reached an agreement on the withdrawal of front-line border forces, they were taking carried out various tasks in an orderly manner, and also expected the border between China and India, gradually restore the peace and tranquility that existed before the protracted border confrontation.
China decided to commemorate the martyrs at this time, rather than announcing the list of martyrs immediately after the conflict. This is not only to fully demonstrate the determination to safeguard fundamental national interests, but also to demonstrate China’s commitment to maintaining China’s stability. -Relations with India and demonstrating China’s commitment to the new Given the circumstances, the diplomatic style of a great power that is rational, advantageous and disciplined is not like that of some Indian politicians and anti-China media who try to exaggerate hatred and stirring up nationalism and anti-China sentiment.
Qian Feng further noted that China respects martyrs and appreciates life even more. In times of peace, she is even less willing to see the bloodshed of officers and soldiers. The Qalewan conflict was not caused by China, nor is it what the Chinese military expected to see.
Although we are in an era of peace, peace and development remain the issues of human society, but the world is not peaceful and international military struggles have not ceased. This reminds China that it must go its own way and continue to develop its own national defense capabilities. Only in this way can we deter all the adventurous actions of the enemies who have committed the crime, and prevent to the greatest extent possible the occurrence of conflicts such as the Kalwan Valley.
