The Chinese soldiers in the video could be seen performing dance steps in a snowy background supposed to be at an altitude of 5200 metres.
People on Twitter had a lot to say about the Tiktok-like video shared by the spokesperson. One user said the video explains why the Chinese avoids direct warfare.
No wonder the CCP avoids confrontations and wars

Asia Correspondent for The Telegraph, Nicola Smith, saw the funny side of it.

Another user remarked on the staged nature of the whole charade.
Yeah okay. We believe you. They’ve not showered for 2 weeks, it’s freezing 24/7. But they breakout into a bad imitation of Kpop spontaneously. https://t.co/rtex6LaGNx

Earlier this year, Hua Chunying had mentioned that the Communist Party of China should be awarded “gold medals and medals” for its contribution to human rights. She said, “It can be said that the #CPC is not only blameless on #humanrights issues, but it should also be awarded gold medals and medals.”. Chunying’s tweet came at a time when Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang were locked up for ‘reeducation’ and the growing global concern regarding the suppression of human rights in China.
Recently, Chinese state affiliated mediaperson Shen Shiwei had mocked Abhinandan Varthaman, hero of the February 2019 Balakot air strikes that destroyed terrorist camps by sharing an image of the then Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman in captivity of Pakistani soldiers. Indian Air Force fighter pilot Abhinandan Varthaman was awarded the Vir Chakra by President of India for his heroics during 2019 Balakot Air Strikes when he was the Wing Commander.
