Against this backdrop, a social media post went viral with the claim that Sonam Wangchuk said that he would help China to invade India. 20260716 0629 29.1681242 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive [Skip to main content](https://archive.org/embed/20260716-0629-29.1681242#maincontent) 20260716-0629-29.1681242 Volume 90% Press shift question mark to access a list of keyboard shortcuts Keyboard ShortcutsEnabledDisabled Play/PauseSPACE Increase Volume↑ Decrease Volume↓ Seek Forward→ Seek Backward← Captions On/Offc Fullscreen/Exit Fullscreenf Mute/Unmutem Seek %0-9 0.25x0.5x0.75x1x1.25x1.5x1.75x2x3x Live 00:00 00:27 00:27 ![](https://athena.archive.org/0.gif?kind=track_js&track_js_case=control&cache_bust=917580700) [Facebook Link](https://www.facebook.com/reel/1528706098938217) [Facebook Link](https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122128325379226831&set=a.122098884081226831) [Archived Link](https://archive.org/details/20260716-0629-29.1681242). However, upon investigation, we found that the claim was misleading. Here’s the fact check. **Fact Check** We started our investigation by conducting a relevant keyword search and a reverse image search of the screenshots from the viral video. This led us to a YouTube channel where we found a longer version of the viral video uploaded on 12 March 2024. From the timestamp 1:37, Sonam Wangchuk says, “There’s a famous comedian here who says, ‘ When China enters, the people of Ladakh risk their lives to stop them. But now, if the Indian government is not doing anything for the people of Ladakh, then next time if China invades India through Ladakh, we will show them the way; we will not stop them. Why should we give our lives when we are not being protected? After that police started questioning the comedian.” Further, he says, “… don’t kill the messenger, solve the problem. People are venting their frustration. It would be better if you could solve the problem. The government should take all these things very seriously…” End Of Day 7 Of Climate Fast \|\| Sh.

Moving forward, we found the same video on the official Facebook page of Sonam Wangchuk on 12 March 2024. The caption of the video read, “END OF 7th DAY Snowed heavily in the morning but the sun quickly melted it In this tiny town some 500 people gathered today even on a week day. 100s of university students, all the advocates of the Bar association, monks, nuns, retired soldiers and all.

He was quoting a comedian in the original video. **Conclusion** From our investigation, we can say that the claim is misleading. Sonam Wangchuk didn’t say that he would help China to invade India by showing them the way. He was quoting a comedian in the original video and said that the people are venting their frustration. The government should take a serious note of all these. ![Result Stamp](https://srilanka.factcrescendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Misleading.png) Title:Did Sonam Wangchuk Say That He Would Help China To Invade India?
