Fact Check<\/b><\/p>\n

We performed a reverse image search using frames taken from the viral video and found another version of the viral video uploaded on YouTube <\/span>on May 31, 2020<\/span><\/a>. The title describes it as a scene of a skirmish between Indian and Chinese soldiers at Pangong Lake in Ladakh.<\/span><\/p>\n

India Today journalist Shiv Aroor tweeted this video on June 17, 2020. He described it as a video from the end of May 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearer and clearer that the June 15 bloodbath in Galwan was not spontaneous, but was 100% Chinese premeditated. Spontaneous clashes between India-China troops have never resulted in death or even serious injury, for instance this most recent one from late May in Pangong: pic.twitter.com\/0xR1HzEc74<\/a><\/p>\n

It is worth noting that <\/span>20 Indian soldiers were killed<\/span><\/a> in the June 15, 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh. At the time, this video was being shared as showing that clash, a claim which <\/span>Alt News fact-checked<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, several social media users falsely shared footage from a May 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers as the recent skirmish in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh in December 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
