The South China Morning Post (February 27) reported that the Shenzhen Keweitai Enterprise Development Corp, which sells drones under the brand All Tech, published an article on its official WeChat account on February 25, saying the company is very proud of its role in helping the Chinese army during the border clash. It singled out what it called the brave actions of two employees at the conflict site. According to the post, which was taken down on Friday but widely republished by other Chinese social media and news portals, Zhao Bo and Shi Zhilong supported the Chinese army in its surveillance of “illegal activities by the foreign force”. Keweitai said its post that while helping the military handle the company’s drones in Galwan Valley, 5,000 metres (16,000 feet) above sea level, Zhao Bo and Shi Zhilong aided the PLA’s medical teams in tending to the wounded and “helped with cooking” for the troops when field kitchens were short-handed, Keweitai said its post. The state media outlets lauded the soldiers in the videos for their loyalty and sacrifice. The PLA also described them as heroes and blamed India for the casualties.
