In response to the recent Pahalgam attack and aggressive military posturing by India, Pakistani social media users have continuously taunted India’s war fever. Chinese social media influencers are now joining in on the fun, trolling India with a ridiculous song that went viral across social media, hailing the Pakistan air force for downing Indian Rafale fighter aircraft.

In the video being widely shared online, Chinese YouTubers are dressed in turbans styled like Indian headgear, on which symbolic fighter planes are fastened. Speaking in Chinese, they taunt the Indian Air Force and Rafale fighters. The satirical song’s words roughly translate as:

“I purchased a jet, and it was seriously defeated.

Shameful, all jets destroyed.

Not even one returned home, 9 billion rupees lost.”.

All the people on the internet are laughing at us, shame on us.

The video has gained popularity on social media platforms and is trending among Pakistani users who have reacted with amusement and pride.

A Pakistani user said, “The Chinese are teasing India’s Rafale defeats more than we are.” Another added, “For the first time in history, French Rafales and Israeli drones have been downed by any nation — it’s a huge victory for Pakistan and the Chinese-developed J-10C jets. China is jubilant because the J-10C has now asserted its power globally.”

Another user appreciated the ingenuity of the trolling, writing, “No one could’ve roasted Rafale’s destruction like the Chinese just did.”

All of this follows on the heels of India’s recent missile attacks against five Pakistani sites. In retaliation, the Pakistan Air Force brought down five Indian aircraft, three of them being Rafale fighter jets — a severe blow which is still stirring international interest and social media posts.
