The smartphone generation of Asia's most populous nations, India and China, have taken the ongoing border hostilities in contested Ladakh which have been going on since April, to Twitter. The two armies of the two nuclear powers are near each other on the border and fought a pitched battle in June, in which soldiers on both sides died.

The Global Times, China’s state-run news agency, has been regularly posting videos of Chinese troops testing weaponry and training troops, flaunting the country’s might.

The news outlet Tweeted that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has received new long-range assault rifles QBU-191 with magnification scope, that will give the army an edge to hit the enemy at distance with precision.

Twitter users also took pot-shots at Chinese goods which are said to be a byword for being cheap and short lived.

You provide PLA cold proof quilts and dresses. You provided them assault rifles. You can provide silly firecrackers. But you can't provide them courage to fight ruthless India Army who shows no mercy on enemies.😉😎— DeepakR 🚩 (@deepras20) October 20, 2020

Guns don't fight..its bravehearts behind them who fight! All the best PLA cartoons! We guarantee you that our soldiers would give you peaceful last journey.— HrishiC (@hrishi4778) October 19, 2020

​Others took a dig at recent reports of the Indian army capturing a Chinese soldier after he entered in the country's territory in Ladakh.
