BREAKING: Indian Army officer and two soldiers killed in clash with Chinese troops https://twitter.com/ShivAroor/status/1272791814836236288
This is a major escalation - and an expected one - in the India-China standoff. https://twitter.com/ShivAroor/status/1272792369604239360?s=19
Indian sources saying no firing took place. Apparently Chinese troops beat the three Indian soldiers including an officer to death? https://twitter.com/manupubby/status/1272796164018978817?s=19
Stones and clubs? Crazy. https://twitter.com/ShivAroor/status/1272796473839755264?s=19

Alright she is basically pushing the worst source possible for this claim. https://twitter.com/WenwenWang1127/status/1272810732166369281
Yep, it's an Indian account notorious for fake news. Gonna wait for some credible source - and preferably not an Indian one at all. https://twitter.com/theChinaDude/status/1272815005914677248
LOL Global Times posting a clarification thanks to their dumb reporter. https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1272818278348410880
Yep, question isn't whether Chinese side suffered casualties or not - Chinese soldiers are not Robocops - so of course they suffered casualties. Question is, what's the exact number of dead and wounded. https://twitter.com/HuXijin_GT/status/1272818023225626624
Clarifications from everywhere, lol https://twitter.com/WenwenWang1127/status/1272818912082583557?s=20
Indians happily quoting this British source, please note:
First, it's a freaking tabloid. Second, besides the headline, the story itself doesn't mention any number of Chinese casualties at all. Read the goddamn story before sending me these links. https://twitter.com/Daily_Express/status/1272813606422405120

So, about Chinese casualties, to sum up:
- Credible Indian sources say there were Chinese casualties (they put the number at 3-4 but also say it's unconfirmed).
- Chinese GT also hinting there are Chinese casualties.
- What we don't know for sure? How many dead & wounded.

Indian casualty figures expected to go up. Earlier there were reports of several Indian military personnel wounded. https://twitter.com/ShivAroor/status/1272826865691045888
CGTN News Producer with blue tick account also confirms Chinese casualties. But the question remains: how many dead and wounded on Chinese side to be exact? https://twitter.com/shen_shiwei/status/1272819420419592192

This report by @usnews says as per US intelligence, around 35 Chinese troops died, including one senior officer.
But if Indian sources are to be believed about Indian troops being largely unarmed, how did all those Chinese troops die? https://www.usnews.com/news/world-report/articles/2020-06-16/dozens-killed-as-india-china-face-off-in-first-deadly-clash-in-decades
