Hu Xijin, editor-in-chief of Chinese and English editions of the Global Times, tweeted; Based on what I know, the Chinese side also suffered casualties in the Galwan Valley physical clash. I want to tell the Indian side, don't be arrogant, and misread China's restraint as being weak. China doesn't want to have a clash with India, but we don't fear it.
