Some more thoughts of mine, with a clearer head and less emotional with the news of clash. Again, this is just my observation, feel free to disagree.

One thing was bugging me since yesterday, why would hans ambush Indian army with rods and engage in unarmed combat if they already had backstabbing in mind. This doesn't makes any sense in any tactic of war. There are two possibilities IMO.

1. Hans want India to look like an aggressor AND a weak aggressor on top of that. Nobody likes a weak bully, everyone cheers when he gets beaten up.
2. This wasn't supposed to happen, it's a rogue faction at work. Just like the GT reporter who "mistakenly" quoted Indian media.

If we consider 1st in mind, yesterday's events went smoothly for hans. With all the grief pouring out on social media and leftists+Congress shouting Modi is weak, half the work was already done. Hans would've wanted the grief to have continued for a few days more so India looks

like an aggressive, weak crybaby. But here's something Hans miscalculated, the sheer unpredictability of Indian social media and Indian propaganda machines, having learnt their lessons after Balakot (Don't argue on that)

India played a masterstroke by letting it out that both sides suffered casualties, with a GT reporter "mistakenly" picking up the story. Now it put Hans in uncharted waters, so they begrudgingly accepted that there were some casualties.

The other thing logic driven atheists Hans did not realize that how soon grief turns into rage in India, sniffing blood at Hans confession, it turned into an inferno.

In one stroke, India turned the narrative on its head. Now Indians were the underdogs who gave Hans a bloody nose. Today's article in Taiwan newspaper just shows how much the propaganda has worked and middle kingdom has clay feet when it comes to facing propaganda.
