News came that the Chinese army had penetrated 60 kilometers inside the Indian border. There were reports of Chinese army entering 60 kilometers inside Taksing area of Upper Subansari district of Arunachal Pradesh and building new camps. The claim is so serious that it is naturally raising concerns and questions among people, but has this actually happened? The government has clarified the position on this claim.
PIB Fact check has declared this viral claim to be completely fake. According to PIB Fact Check, the video being shared on social media has no connection with the India-China border. That is, the video which is being spread as the infiltration of the Chinese army on the border, is misleading and is being circulated with false claims.
PIB Fact Check has said in clear words, “This claim is fake. The videos being circulated on social media are not from the India-China border and have no connection with this claim.”
News related to India-China border is always considered sensitive. In such a situation, any unconfirmed video or message going viral can spread confusion. This is why the government has appealed to the people to rely only on information from official and verified sources on important issues like border security.
Videos and posts that go viral with fake claims are often old, from other countries or from a different incident, which are presented in a new context. This not only creates confusion among the people, but also causes misinformation to spread rapidly on matters related to national security.

What was the real news?
Recently, the latest satellite images revealed the construction of a new road by China on the India-Tibet border with Arunachal Pradesh. The road connects two settlements in the disputed area, which has been under Chinese control since 1959 and currently lies across the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The new road connects a village settled in 2021 to a new settlement developed in 2026. Dual-use facilities like helipads and cement plants are also visible in these settlements.
The Indian government has rejected claims of recent Chinese infiltration. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju and the Indian Army say that the border in this area has not been formally determined, hence both the countries have different perceptions regarding LAC. According to Rijiju, in such a situation, patrolling from both sides sometimes reaches areas claimed by each other, which is called ‘transgression’, not infiltration.
Experts believe that China’s rapidly expanding infrastructure on the border is a strategic challenge for India. In response to this, India is also rapidly progressing road, tunnel and other border infrastructure projects in Arunachal Pradesh.
What does PIB Fact Check say?
Many times even true news is presented in a different context and false notions are created. If you also come across any such suspicious video, photo or claim, then avoid sharing it further without checking. First verify its source and see if any official agency has released information on it. Spreading misinformation may inadvertently promote rumours.
