The media in mainland China and the island of Taiwan “fight” over the video of Chinese recruits singing while crying on the bus.

The video was widely shared on Chinese social media, followed by Twitter and Facebook. This is part of a long video published in Fuyang News Week on September 15, in which the recruits of this city sit on a bus and sing the song “Blue flower in the army”, which is famous by the Chinese Army (PLA ), with emotional expressions and some crying.

“The recruits in the video are college students, 5 of whom are actively applying to be stationed in Tibet, on the border with the Ladakh region,” Taiwan News, a Taiwanese news site, reported yesterday. “After they got on the bus, they were told they would be sent to the border, so they burst into tears.”
Chinese media later strongly objected, saying the Taiwanese island media misinterpreted the videos of PLA soldiers. “At that time, they just said goodbye to their parents and sang ‘Blue Flower in the Army,’ then went to the song ‘Go Home to Celebrate Victory’ in a completely opposite mood than the Taiwanese media reported.” Global Times reported.
The Global Times said that Taiwanese media “tried to create an image of PLA soldiers fearing battle, but when describing the main events, they used loosely worded words like ‘supposed’ or ‘could'”. He also claimed that those who re-posted content mocking the PLA were “Twitter users in India.”

However, the joint statement of the Indian and Chinese armies does not mention a reduction of forces in the disputed area.
