Misleading India-China claims being shared online

Tensions along the border between India and China remain high after a clash in June which killed at least 20 Indian soldiers.

As the two countries continue talks about disengagement, misleading content is being shared on social media about the stand-off.

We’ve taken a look at some of it.

Claim: Chinese soldiers being sent to the border are crying Verdict: Misleading video taken out of context

This video shared by Twitter users was picked up in September by some Taiwanese media outlets, and then went viral in India, with users there mocking the Chinese soldiers for crying because – it’s claimed – they were being sent to the border.

It’s been viewed more than 300,000 times, and even picked up by top media outlets in India like the Zee News TV channel.

The recruits are on a minibus, singing a popular Mandarin-language military song about being homesick. The red-and-yellow sashes worn by the soldiers bear the slogan, “Join the military with honour.”

But there’s no evidence we have found that they are being sent to the border with India.

Chinese media outlets say the soldiers are new army recruits from Yingzhou district in Fuyang city, Anhui province, and were emotional after bidding farewell to family members.

A local news outlet posted on the Chinese messaging app, WeChat, on 15 September, that the soldiers were on their way to a military barracks, and mentioned that five of them volunteered to serve in the Tibet region.

India-China border dispute explained But it made no mention of them being posted to the border or the recent tensions with India.

And on 22 September, the Chinese-language edition of the state-run Global Times picked up the story. It accused the Taiwanese media of “lying” for linking the picture of the new recruits “tearfully bidding farewell to their parents” with the China-India border situation.

Claim: A video shows Indian soldiers dancing to music from Chinese loudspeakers Verdict: Old video that pre-dates any mention of loudspeakers on the border

On 16 September, there were reports in both the Indian and Chinese media of China’s People’s Liberation Army installing loudspeakers along the border and playing Punjabi music to “distract” Indian soldiers.

Media reports had said the loudspeakers were put up by the Chinese army in an area under round-the-clock surveillance by Indian soldiers.

Both the Indian and Chinese media picked up this story quoting army sources, but there were no images or videos shared in these reports and the Indian army has not confirmed this happened.

Nevertheless, social media users from India have been sharing old videos of Indian soldiers dancing to Punjabi music, which we found pre-date any reports of loudspeakers along the border.

In one viral video shared in September, five soldiers are seen dancing to a Punjabi music number. It’s had more than 88,000 views and the user claims it shows the India-China border in Ladakh.

However, a reverse-image search shows the video goes back to July this year.

And although the exact location of the video is difficult to establish, news reports from the time suggest it was from the India-Pakistan border and not the India-China border as claimed.

Claim: China has a huge speaker playing very loud music that has injured Indian soldiers Verdict: No evidence that this device is being used to play music on the border

This is a variation on the previous claim about loudspeakers, with a Chinese Twitter user sharing a video of a large device which they say is used to blast extremely loud music at Indian encampments, making some Indian soldiers sick and injuring them.

The video has been viewed more than 200,000 times and even featured on an Indian news channel with the same claim.

The now viral clip is actually from a March 2016 YouTube video of a Chinese-made mobile warning siren, produced by a firm that makes emergency safety equipment.

It shows a large, 4.6 tonne rotating siren used for situations such as natural disasters or other emergencies for the civilian population, according to the product description on the firm’s website.

It’s not a loudspeaker for playing music, and it’s not clear if this warning siren is even being used by the Chinese army on the border.

In addition, there’ve been no confirmed reports of eardrum injuries to Indian soldiers in this area.

Claim: A bus accident involving Indian security personnel is linked to border tensions Verdict: Misleading as the accident happened but not in the border area

A Twitter user from China posted a video on 21 September, claiming India can’t meet China halfway on border talks because “it has to save its troops from killing themselves”.

The video showed part of a submerged military bus in a river with soldiers standing nearby, and the text refers to what it calls the Indian army’s “lethal suicide attempts in Ladakh”.

The video has been viewed nearly 5,000 times.

It is a genuine video, but it is not from the India-China border. It’s from the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, where a bus full of Indian security personnel fell into a flooded river in Bijapur district in September.

Indian media reported on this incident at the time, showing the overturned bus, and said there were no casualties.

The bus stops anywhere for the ride, the fear of the accident

The drivers and conductor of the buses have kept the traffic rules in view of the difficulty of settling the riders. As soon as the bus stands out from the bus stand, the buses will be set on the way by bus stop. This often affects the traffic system. After leaving the bus stand, the buses stand on the banks of the Raipuria route, Thandla Marg, Kanwan Marg, Bamania route and stand in front of the shops. In such a situation, the vehicle of vehicles is taken on the road to the state road. This is the same on the Raipuria route. Even knowing everything, the RTO Department and the Traffic Department are not taking any action. People are having trouble with this.

Besides, asymptomatic direct and high-risk contacts of a confirmed case are to be tested once between day five and day 10 of coming in contact, the new document stated. Asymptomatic contacts of a confirmed case were being tested once between day five and day 14.

India backs demand for impartial probe into virus's origin

India joined nearly 120 countries at a crucial conference of the World Health Organisation in pushing for an impartial and comprehensive evaluation of the global response into the coronavirus crisis as well as to examine the origin of the deadly infection.

Since the first case of the deadly coronavirus was reported in China last December, more than 47 lakh people have tested for this virus across the world and over 3 lakh have lost their lives. India is the 11th most affected country, while the US tops the chart with over 14.9 lakh confirmed cases so far.

China's official tally of confirmed infections is less than 84,000, while it has reported more than 4,600 deaths.

Coronavirus Outbreak: Centre extends lockdown till 17 May but eases restrictions; 1,755 new cases, 77 deaths reported in 24 hrs

The confirmed cases in the country climbed to 35,365 while deaths reached 1,152 as the Centre extended the nationwide lockdown till 17 May.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had first announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown from 25 March, which was later extended by two more weeks till 4 May to contain the virus spread.

On Friday, the Centre announced a third extension but this time, it provided some relaxations for various business activities and people's movement within areas with limited or no COVID-19 cases.

In fact, on Friday morning, the first train carrying around 1,200 people left Lingampally in Telangana to Hatia in Jharkhand by a 24-coach special train on a pilot basis, while another train carrying migrant workers stranded in Kerala left for Odisha's Bhubaneswar on Friday night.

Later in the day, the Centre announced that states and Union Territories will be able to avail "special train service" to bring stranded migrant workers, students and tourists home, provided they are willing to pay for it and both host and destination governments mutually agree to the movement of the people.

The government on Friday also announced that it has ramped up production of COVID-19 protective gear and medical equipment, giving a boost to its fight against COVID-19 and reducing it dependency on foreign countries for these items which are in high demand globally due to the pandemic.

The Centre on Friday said it has placed order for 2.22 crore personal protection equipment (PPE), of which around 1.43 crore will be procured from domestic manufacturers and the rest imported.

Separately, Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat announced at a special press briefing, along with the three service chiefs, that the armed forces will express their gratitude to all "corona warriors" on Sunday by conducting fly-pasts, showering petals on hospitals treating COVID-19 patients and illuminating naval vessels.

Besides, the Army will conduct mountain band displays along some COVID-19 hospitals in almost every district.

Rawat also said it is not proper to conclude that the novel coronavirus outbreak is a result of biological warfare.

US president Donald Trump has often claimed that the deadly virus originated from a virology lab, but his comments undercut a rare public statement from his own intelligence community, which stated no such assessment has been made by them, whether the COVID-19 outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.

COVID-19 cases as of Friday

States wise distribution is subject to further verification and reconciliation, it said.

Centre extends lockdown till 17 May, names 130 districts as red zones

While several countries including Italy, Switzerland, New Zealand, Austria and various states of the US have begun easing their respective lockdowns, the MHA on Friday announced that the nationwide lockdown will extended by another two weeks, starting from 4 May, a day after the second phase ends, till 17 May.

The MHA's announcement came after the Ministry of Health issued a new list of districts categorised into red, orange and green zones depending on the virus-load. The updated list shows 130 districts in red zone, 284 in orange zone and 319 in green zone.

This classification of districts is to be followed by states and UTs till 10 May and the will be revised on a weekly basis or earlier if required.

All major urban centres including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad have been designated as red zones in the new classification.

Announcing the guidelines to be followed for third phase of the lockdown, the MHA said that some activities such as air travel, rail, metro and inter-state movement by road, running of educational and training institutions, hospitality services, cinema halls, malls, gymnasiums and sports complexes, will remain prohibited throughout the country, irrespective of the zone.

All social, political, cultural and other kinds of gatherings and religious places or places of worship for public will also remain shut, as per an order issued by the Union Home Ministry.

Outside the containment zone falling within red zones, certain more activities will be prohibited and these include plying of cycle rickshaws and auto-rickshaws, running of taxis and cab aggregators, intra-district and inter-district plying of buses, as also barber shops, spas and saloons.

Activities allowed in red zones with restrictions would include movement of individuals and vehicles for permitted activities, with a maximum of two persons (besides the driver) in four-wheelers and with no pillion rider in two-wheelers.

E-Commerce activities in red zones are permitted only for essential goods. Private offices can operate with up to 33 percent strength as per requirement, with the remaining persons working from home.

Commercial and private establishments allowed in red zones include print and electronic media, IT and IT enabled services, data and call centres, cold storage and warehousing services, private security and facility management services, and services provided by self-employed persons, except for barbers.

In orange zones, taxis and cab aggregators will also be permitted with one driver and one passenger only, while inter-district movement of individuals and vehicles will be allowed for permitted activities only. Four-wheeler vehicles will have maximum two passengers besides the driver and pillion riding will be allowed on two-wheelers.

In green zones, all activities are permitted except those prohibited throughout the country irrespective of the zone. However buses and bus depots can operate with maximum 50 percent capacity.

MHA allows movement of stranded migrants, students, pilgrims by special trains

On Friday, the MHA also announced that states will be able to use trains for ferrying people stranded due to the nationwide lockdown to their respective states.

Exercising the powers conferred under the Disaster Management Act, Union Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla said the movement of migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons stranded at different places is allowed by special trains to be operated by the Ministry of Railways (MoR).

The MoR will designate nodal officers for coordinating with the states and Union territories for their movement, he added

"The MoR will issue detailed guidelines for sale of tickets, and for social distancing and other safety measures to be observed at train stations, platforms and within the trains," the home secretary said.

These trains will run provided "on request from both the Originating and Destination State Governments".

News agency PTI quoted railways officials as saying that state governments will be charged the fare of ferrying stranded people in special trains back to their native places.

Joint Secretary in the MHA Punya Salila Srivastava said that states and the Railway Board will make the necessary arrangements for the transportation of stranded people.

Underlining that some problems are cropping up in the movement of trucks and load carriers, Srivastava also said the MHA has again written to the states, reiterating that no separate pass is needed for trucks and load carriers, including the empty vehicles.

Centre orders 2.2 crore PPEs; 1.43 crore to be manufactured in India

The Centre on Friday said it has placed order for 2.22 crore personal protection equipment (PPE), of which around 1.43 crore will be procured from domestic manufacturers and the rest imported.

"Earlier, there was no domestic manufacturing of PPE in the country and almost all of them were imported. We now have 111 indigenous manufacturers," said PD Vaghela, the Secretary of the Department of Pharmaceuticals and Chairman of the Empowered Group-3, adding that the number of PPEs ordered is higher than the projected demand of two crore PPEs.

Vaghela also said about 19,398 ventilators are available in India and orders have been placed for 60,884 more, and of these 59,884 will be made by domestic manufacturers.

The Ministry of Health has indicated a projected demand of 75,000 ventilators till June, 2020.
