PLA Admits 4 Soldiers Died During Galwan Clash with Indian Army in Ladakh

Ladakh: The Chinese government has officially admitted that four of their soldiers were killed in Galwan Valley clash with the Indian Army in June 2020.

According to reports, China has named and shared details of four People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers who died during the border clash with Indian soldiers in eastern Ladakh.

Meanwhile, China's mouthpiece, Global Times stated that the Central Military Commission awarded Qi Fabao, the regimental commander from the PLA Xinjiang Military Command, the title of "Heroic regimental commander for defending the border," Chen Hongjun with "Hero to defend the border," and awarded the first-class merit to Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan and Wang Zhuoran.

It is to be mentioned that this is the first time China has unveiled casualties and details of these officers and soldiers, four of whom died when dealing with the Indian military's illegal trespassing of the Galwan Valley Line of Actual Control (LAC).

Earlier, the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) has posted two Pro-China videos on its YouTube Channel signalling the chance of proxy war by China in the coming days in the northeastern region of the country.

This comes amidst the week-long stand-off between India and China after the two clashed at Galwan valley in June 2020. In the videos, ULFA blames India for all the border clashes that have occurred between the two countries since 1962.

Defending China, ULFA gives lengthy pro-China justification in these videos. The videos leave a sign of proxy war by China in northeastern India using ULFA and the Naga insurgents, something they had refrained from since 1971.

However, the intelligence source going through these videos said that ULFA leader Paresh Baruah had to release these types of videos as he and a few other members of ULFA were currently residing in the Wa state of China-Myanmar border with the support of the Chinese administration. "It is obvious that Paresh Baruah will release such a video. Otherwise, they will be killed," said the source.
