On Thursday also, PM Modi gave a stern warning to China saying that although India wishes to maintain peace, it will t stay quiet if provoked. He ded that nation must be proud to kw that its 20 army martyrs fought till end in Galwan Valley.

Why is China t disclosing casualty numbers? 

Even as India has said that 20 soldiers were martyred in violent face-off, China has refrained to disclose its numbers calling it a 'goodwill gesture'. Giving a farcical reason, China said that disclosing numbers might insight nationalistic sentiment on both sides and might furr escalate tension.

Usually, China has a way of showcasing its strength to world by releasing videos of its army's might and artillery, and strong-arming smaller or weaker nations be it military-wise, ecomically, or by diplomatic channels. so-called 'Goodwill Gesture' of China only points out that China received a massive blow in Galwan even when Indian Army did t have any weapons while Chinese were equipped with iron rods laced with spikes over m, clearly proving that it was a premeditated and planned coup of Chinese.
