CHINA FALSELY CLAIMED THAT SUKHOI SU30 JET SHOT DOWN IN TIBET | FACT CHECK | 2020

 | FACT CHECK | 

It has also shut down the Dragon Fake campaign in the wake of India-China border tensions. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is falsely claiming to have blown up an Indian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet in Tibet. An expert from China, Jong Jin, tweeted that the PLA had blown up an Indian warplane in the name of breaking news.

None of this propaganda by China is true. The Government of India has stated that no such incident has taken place so far. The man, Jin, said the campaign on Twitter was a lie. Moreover, his bio on Twitter also claimed to be fake. Wang Feng, a professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, said he was using the photo as his Twitter profile pic.

It is noteworthy that this so-called Chinese expert did not follow anyone from China on his Twitter. He did not even follow President Jin Ping, the official media global Times there. But in his profile, he writes that he is a columnist and a special analyst on the China-Pakistan issue.

Judging by his profile, his posts seem to praise Pakistan and slam India. He has shared morphing images many times in the past and tried to muddy the waters over India. In August this year, former Indian Army chief Dalbir Singh shared a morphing photo. Bipin Rawat, the current head of the three forces, said it was a photo. With such incoherent photos and posts, he set out to target India.
