Times (@globaltimesnews) February 19, 2021 China also named the four soldiers who had lost their lives in the clash, saying that Chen Hongjun, Chen Xiangrong, Xiao Siyuan, and Wang Zhuoran


died during a “fierce struggle” against “foreign troops,” reported Reuters. > Chen Hongjun was posthumously awarded the title of “Guardian of > the Frontier Hero,” while the other

Zhuoran, a fellow soldier, also gave his life to rescue his comrades when crossing the river to support the others,” the Global Times report states. Twenty soldiers of the Indian Army were


killed in the violent clash in Ladakh, and have been inscribed on a war memorial built in Eastern Ladakh. On 16 June 2020, the Editor-in-Chief of Global Times, had tweeted that China had


also suffered casualties in the clash, but did not want to release the figures because it “doesn’t want people of the two countries to compare the casualty number so to avoid stoking public


mood”. Earlier reports had claimed that a senior PLA officer had died in the clashes. This has, however, remained unconfirmed. _(With inputs from Global Times and Reuters.)_ Published: 19
