The relationship with the soldier is deeply personal, often devotional. When an image is framed as a tribute—invoking sacrifice and nationalism—the instinct is to honour, not verify.
Official Chinese statements have described the drills as destabilising, warning that they risk escalation and that the participating countries are 'playing with fire.'
