A Chinese citizen has been arrested by the police for spreading “online rumours” claiming that poor quality of army vehicles and internal corruption caused the death of Chinese soldiers during the clash with Indian border troops.
A brief write-up on the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) English website said the suspect, identified as Zhou Liying, circulated “rumours” earlier this month claiming that the company “Dongfeng Off-road Vehicle Co” supplied poor-quality vehicles, causing the deaths of Chinese soldiers.
The write-up did not specify the date or place of the clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers.
“Recently, a netizen surnamed Zhou was arrested by the police in accordance with the law, because he spread the rumours online by saying that “the poor quality of military vehicles supplied by the Dongfeng Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd. (hereafter referred to as Dongfeng) has caused the death of Chinese soldiers during the China-India border clash,” the write-up published in eng.chinamil.com.cn said.
