The government of prime minister Narendra Modi has taken its first significant step against china as tensions between india and pakistan start to ease after a ceasefire mediated by the united states earlier this week. The government has blocked the social media accounts of Beijing's state-owned Global Times and Xinhua news Agency for disseminating anti-India propaganda during the recent India-Pakistan conflict.
The indian government claims that Xinhua, a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist party (CCP), has been disseminating propaganda, fake news, and false information against india for years. Meanwhile, during Operation Sindoor, the state-owned Global Times disseminated false information and lies about india, for which the indian ambassador to beijing also chastised the publication.
In an attempt to spread the myth that India's military strike against pakistan was unprovoked, Global Times has called India's Operation Sindoor a "unilateral action." To deter investors from indian markets, the state-run newspaper was also aggressively pushing the idea that india was incapable of waging a protracted war.
In one of the fake news pieces, the publication used "Pakistan army sources" to say that India's $1.5 billion S-400 air defense system in Adampur was destroyed by Pakistan's JF-17 Thunder hypersonic missiles. This claim was eventually shown to be untrue. Even after the indian military vehemently denied these allegations, Chinese state media did not even revise their erroneous accounts.
As both the JF-17 and J-10C fighter jets are produced by Beijing-owned Avic Chengdu Aircraft Co. Ltd., whose stock surged more than 36% in two sessions of Shenzhen trading following claims that Chinese-made fighter jets shot down indian Rafael aircraft, it is thought that Chinese media reports were intended to increase the shares of China's state-owned aerospace.
As tensions between india and pakistan increased, Chinese media, citing experts, also attempted to spread the idea of a "two-front war" in an effort to frighten and frighten the indian public. Social media accounts with Chinese support also posted manipulated or phony footage of the pakistan air Force taking down indian fighter jets.
