China Claimed That Its Troops Can Reach Delhi In 48 Hours And Twitter Had A Good Laugh

China may be an immediate neighbour of our nation, but it is no secret that it not one of our best friends. With both India and China aiming to become a global superpower, tensions between the two nations are always high. There have been no major war-like situations between the two nations in the recent past but there is always a diplomatic battle going on. This time, it’s one of China’s state-run channel that has given fuel to a spark.

China’s state television broadcaster claimed that if a war breaks out between India and its not-so-friendly eastern neighbour, it won’t take long for them to enter our national capital. The channel claimed that Chinese troops can reach Delhi within 48 hours.

 

Here is a tweet that started all the controversy.

And as always, the Indian Twitter community stood up to deliver some hilarious (and somewhat realistic) reactions.

1. Enter at your own risk

China does not know that India's capital is protected on all sides by massive tactical traffic jams. @Asif_AAP

2. That’s about right 

Crucially, depends on fog situation in Delhi https://t.co/XB0Ds3WzFT

3. Be afraid, be very afraid

Dear China, Delhi is well protected by Somnath Bharti's dogs, Kejriwal's tweets and Ashutosh's English. Think twice before taking any step.

13. The Chinese even got some friendly advice for the road

@spectatorindex carry enough spares for Bihar, UP and Bengal roads. Also beware of autowallahs, they drive rash.

14. This, if the Chinese are planning to visit Delhi from down south

Think I got the 48h Chinese threat.
Thiruvananthapuram Rajdhani Express takes ~42h.
Adding 6h from CPM Kerala HQ that makes 48h to Delhi.🤣
