Social media users claim that a Chinese expert on international relations, Victor Gao, warned India over a new military build-up near the Chinese border and threatened that their missiles can hit any target.
Fact Check:
The DFRAC team did a Google reverse image search of the claim. It was found to be from a speech by Victor Gao about China’s expanding military power that was delivered during the Victory Day Parade on September 3rd. It also mentioned that the United States is the only country capable of matching China’s military strength, indicating the strained relationship between the two countries and the desire for peace between them. There was no mention of India-China anywhere in the speech; quotes from the speech are being held against India. The video of his speech can be viewed here.
Conclusion:
According to the facts, the claim is false. The user used quotes from the speech by Victor Gao, which was about China’s military power against India.
