In light of Indian Army's violent faceoff with Chinese Army, leing to heavy casualties on both sides, Communist regime's state-backed mouthpiece Global Times has been releasing provocative statements against India. In its new report released on late June 18, Chinese mouthpiece seemed to be giving vice to India that it should be cautious of Western countries, alleging that West encours confrontation between India and China. However, this disregards irrefutable fact that China claimed sovereignty over Galwan valley and warned India "t to be blind to history and misle public."
Chinese mouthpiece also roped in an array of Chinese analysts to claim that West is trying "to sow discord" between India and China "and draw India into a confrontation with China"

In one of earlier editorials, Chinese mouthpiece has also tried to threaten India with mention of Pakistan and Nepal too in game of borders. Global Times h earlier said that India might have to face military pressure from China, Pakistan or even Nepal if situation on border continues to escalate.

Is China threatened?
All se mentions in state-backed Chinese mouthpiece about West's diplomatic backing to India, threat of Pakistan and Nepal, seemingly show communist regime's growing concerns of India having friendly diplomatic ties with militarily powerful West as well as global support to India, as China has worsened ties in wake of spre of Coronavirus that originated from its soil. t to forget China's worsening relations with arch-rival US which is also flexing muscles in Indo-pacific waters with a massive show of naval force by deploying three American aircraft carriers on patrol in region.
In June 15 violent standoff, India's 20 soldiers were martyred but it is also reported that over 40 casualties were inflicted on Chinese side. As per US intelligence, 35 Chinese soldiers were killed in violent faceoff with Indian Army. Even as Indian Army has revealed number of casualties, China has refrained to disclose number of its side calling it a 'goodwill gesture'. China said it is t releasing number of casualties because it does t want people in two countries to get furr impacted; disclosure of numbers would le to a comparison of casualties that could incite nationalistic sentiments on both sides, elevating tension.

Usually, China has a way of showcasing its strength to world by releasing videos of its army's might and artillery, and strong-army smaller or weaker nations military-wise, ecomically, or by diplomatic channels. so-called 'Goodwill Gesture' of China t disclosing number of casualties only shows that India has military might to cause a heavy blow even when Indian Army didn't come prepared and fought with bare muscles when Chinese soldiers were rey having iron rods laced with spikes over m, as it was clearly a premeditated and planned coup of Chinese.
