Do you guys notice what I mentioned a few weeks ago? The Chinese gov is releasing photos even without provocation now.
We cannot be certain if the release was due to Indians starting their propaganda of lies on detaining 200 PLA in Tawang. BUT it needs to be noted that Chinese release of photos and videos coincided EXACTLY the day after Indians started producing lies about detaining 200 PLA. The Indian government immediately cleared the air by officially stating that "NO PLA WERE DETAINED" but Indians don't listen to or observe facts, only the nonsense they like to believe in. In such circumstances these Indians prefer continuing to claim that supa dupa hypa powa Jai India was pOawArfOoL enough to detain 200 PLA. That is a piece of fantasy they desperately need to believe in despite their own government admitting it is untrue.
But whether we assume the release of photos from China has anything at all to do with Indians receiving a snap "sit TF down boy" from China in response to their attempt on creating "India is incredibly stronk" narratives, the Indian gov and media has since behaved well and been much more tame than their rabid usual state.
Yet China released the recent humiliating photo where they intentionally provided a photo showing Indians in school kid position holding their ears which is a South Asian custom when school children misbehave and are begging for forgiveness. This is China seemingly not caring that Indian gov and media has stopped with the Tawang detainment nonsense.
It's my theory that China is using release of photos to humiliate Modi and basically let Modi know that the bridge isn't only gone, it is irreparable thanks to all those Indian shenanigans from May 2020 to the Tawang detainment propaganda. Enough is enough and we're the ones holding all the cards, why should we still save you face and try to rescue relations when India behaved this way even after June and before negotiations on the Ladakh standoff have even completed. Indians did not behave at all while the standoff is ongoing. But again this just shows how the CCP carries that old Chinese attitude of magnanimity and "court behaviour". Everything from state mouthpieces proven factual and accurate. Indian blabbing about everything from a to z and not a shred of integrity and accuracy to Indian claims from being attacked by barbed wire clubs to not being equipped and armed. The Chinese gov just doesn't get the Indian mindset and Indian mentality at all. The Chinese believe they're dealing with people who are capable of deep thinking and proper planning, along with being sensible. Instead real india is headless chicken running around talking about shooting down F-16s and 5th storey terrorist activity in 2 storey buildings. It is pitiful how poor CCP is at confronting and understanding Indian propaganda and psychological warfare. All China does is sit by quietly and drop a truth bomb and wake up call to these scoundrels in India every once in a while. Modi just goes "awwwww nuuuh dey gib me all dis trubool" but his bhakts are too dumb and too insecure to admit even to themselves.
Now Indians are saying their POWs were not equipped just because the captive photos show these people not wearing helmets, forgetting that POWs have their gear taken from them and plenty of engagement photos and videos all show Indians were amply equipped at least as well as the Chinese, with both sides switching between equipped and less equipped.
