NEW DELHI: Chinese casualties in the Galwan skirmish of June 2020 were much higher than the official figures, a new report has claimed.
“At least 38 PLA troops were washed away and drowned that night…,” The Klaxon, an Australian newspaper reported, citing findings by social media researchers. It also based its findings on conversations on Weibo, a mobile chat app popular in China.
“Claims of substantial Chinese casualties are not new, however evidence provided by a group of social media researchers, which The Klaxon has independently built on, appears to support claims that China’s casualties extended well beyond the four soldiers named by Beijing,” it further said.
