Fact Check: This Viral Video Does Not Show the Recent India-China Skirmish in Tawang

Date:

Following the recent clash between Indian and Chinese troops on the LAC in the Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh, a video has surfaced on Internet showing armed personnel in hand combat, and it is claimed to be of the skirmish that took place on December 9, 2022.

The caption reads: “Part 2 चाइना आर्मी की धुलाई का एक और वीडियो वायरल” (English translation: Another video of the Chinese Army’s defeat goes viral)

The above post can be seen here.

FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the above post, and found it to be misleading.

Putting the video through InVid and keyframes through an extensive Reverse Image Search, we came across similar pictures on Facebook posted in May 2020.

These old posts can be seen here and here.

NewsMobile independently could not verify the origin of the video. But it is confirmed that the video has been on Internet since May 2020, and it is definitely not of the recent clash between India and China in Tawang sector of Arunachal Pradesh.
