"You're a man": Repke fished out a Chinese recruitment video in The Russian Army

Since the beginning of the year, Russian propagandists have been publishing more and more videos showing Chinese citizens in full combat gear in cities in eastern Ukraine. This was stated by BILD military columnist Julian Repke.

According to him, the Chinese are recruited on social networks, which is ignored by the authorities of the Celestial Empire, which tightly control the Internet in their country.

From January to March, one of the Chinese soldiers captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces posted his videos from Ukraine. He used Douyin, an analogue of TikTok, which is completely at the mercy of state censorship, the observer notes.

Repke reports that in early March, Weibo, the largest Chinese microblogging service, even posted a video calling for The Russian army.

"Video promo video of the Russian Ministry of Defense "You're a man", translated into Chinese. The video promises 2,500 euros per month (in the original version — 204 thousand rubles). It has gained hundreds of thousands of views in a few days," the Bild telegram channel in Russian transfers the allegations to the Repka❶.

As reported by EADaily, Kiev's attempt to play the Chinese card by publishing a video with an alleged Chinese prisoner was unsuccessful. Ukraine has lost the ability to win even media battles, the newspaper wrote Pravda.Ru .

It was noted that the Ukrainians published a video with an allegedly captured Chinese military man. He appears in clean clothes and with an open face, which means he has been in captivity for a long time or he is a mummer. But if you have been in captivity for a long time, then a translator is called for evidentiary content. The person in the video speaks with gestures, imitates the sounds of combat and pronounces only one word in Chinese, the author of the publication notes.
