Looks like the incident was so small it was not worth mentioning from our side. China creating unnecessary hype and war-narrative.
Well, it's for the good. We got a glimpse of what Chinese information warfare can look like. We learned from it. We are more cautious now. Yesterday night's incident did hype us up, but we did not create a commotion/panic.
As I mentioned before, follow this rule -
- If you have good news (verified from highly credible twitter handles/journalists/satellite map) - post it.
- If you have good news (unverified, from unknown twitter handles/bababanaras) - post it in OSINT thread maybe. Keep the hype low, add a disclaimer.
- If you have bad news (verified from highly credible twitter handles/journalists/satellite map) - Wait for the official GoI stand/statement. Understand that journalists can also be a victim of information warfare, and even if it is true, it might affect the morales of troops/countrymen.
- If you have bad news (unverified, from unknown twitter handles/ISPR tweets/Global times tweets) - Don't post it on this forum.
Kindly make this a norm to avoid panic and falling into an information warfare trap. We are on a forum that is being followed by prominent journalists and twitter handles worldwide. Good/bad news can create a massive domino effect.
