An old video from 2017 was shared on twitter by a user Eva Zheng where she claimed that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China had only five soldiers injured in the Galwan Valley clash and further claimed that Chinese troops saved and rescued 10 injured Indian soldiers by administering oxygen in their therapy chambers.
