The video was published by a local network in the eastern Chinese province of Anhui last week.

Soon after a video of People's Liberation Army (PLA) recruits seen 'crying' while being sent to the Sino-India border, a war of words has escalated between mainland Chinese and Taiwanese.  Video showed the young soldiers inside a bus and singing a well-known Chinese military song "Green Flowers in the Army" and almost all of them seemed emotional, with some 'crying'. They interpreted it to be a sign of fear against deployment at the border with India amid the ongoing tension in eastern Ladakh. 

Taiwanese media such as Liberty Times and Taiwan News, 'mocked' the soldiers for crying. It may be mentioned here that China considers Taiwan as a breakaway region to be reunified by force if necessary. The recruits in the video are from the Yingzhou district of Fuyang city in Anhui. Presently, military tension between the two is rapidly escalating. The new troops were "reportedly college students, and five of them had 'proactively volunteered to serve in Tibet', which borders the Ladakh region where the bloody Galwan Valley skirmish took place in June of this year," it said.

Meanwhile, the Chinese media reacted strongly against the video and said that its Taiwanese counterparts deliberately misinterpreted the emotional video involving the PLA soldiers. The Global Times report added that many who re-posted the content mocking the PLA were Twitter users from India. "At that time, they were bidding farewell to their parents and sang the famous military song 'Green Flowers in the Army', and they sang 'Go home when you celebrate your work', completely contrary to the mood created by Taiwanese media."
