China has released a heavily edited video of the events that transpired at Galwan Valley in June 2020 during the clash between Indian and Chinese troops. The edited video was released by the Global Times to whitewash its spectacular defeat at the hands of the Indian Army.

A colonel, who led them and seriously injured, was conferred with honorary title”.
With China now awarding 4 of its slain soldiers, it becomes evident that the casualties on China’s side were much greater that previously imagined. China has a penchant for downplaying its own losses and thus, while it has awarded only 4 of the slain soldiers during the Galwan clash, the real number of casualties is likely to be much higher.
There is widespread consensus that China suffered more casualties during the Galwan Valley clash than the Indian side. Under such circumstances, it is obvious why it has released highly edited visuals in order to whitewash its embarrasment.
