On October 26, 2026, the verified X handle @zmx8067 posted a 13-second clip in Chinese of uniformed men with backpacks carrying a stretcher through a dry forest. It claimed that India had released footage of its soldiers moving wounded personnel in “China’s South Tibet region (referred to by India as Arunachal Pradesh)”. The post said the PLA and the Indian Army were in a standoff and asked where the “wounded” had come from. It drew about 17,100 views. The Indian Army’s fact-check unit has labelled the post propaganda. India has released no such footage, and there are no official statements or credible reports of a PLA–Indian Army standoff or casualties in Arunachal Pradesh. Nothing in the video ties it to Arunachal or to any encounter with Chinese troops. Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India, and calling it “South Tibet” is part of a long-running effort to push China’s territorial claim. The post comes amid a wave of misleading content about the state, including the Nathu La trade trucks passed off as an incursion and the anti-dam protests recast as an anti-India revolt. Information about the border should be checked only against official sources.
