5月6日到10日，中国网红“豪哥哥”制作的视频，以印度歌舞风格调侃印巴之间的空战冲突。

印巴冲突的过程中，印度的战机被巴基斯坦利用中国制造的歼10战斗机打下。路透社引述美国官员消息说，至少两架印度战机被打下，其中至少一架是法国制造“阵风”战斗机。

“豪哥哥”在视频里嘲笑印度丢人，飞机没回家、钱都白花，气得印度勃然大怒。印度官方强调，印度的飞行员都安全回家，网上流传的飞机残骸照片是中国政府“有组织的政治宣传”。

目前，印度和巴基斯坦已经达成停火协议。中国与印度的民间舆论口水战还在继续，印度的飞机到底有没有被中国战机打下，“豪哥哥”的视频是不是在羞辱印度？

这个风波又会对中印关系构成什么影响？这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远一起分析这场从战场延烧到网络的“信息战”。

A viral video by Chinese influencer "Brother Hao" has sparked controversy and fuelled nationalistic sentiment online by parodying the alleged downing of Indian fighter jets during a recent clash between India and Pakistan.

Set to a popular Indian tune, the video humorously depicts the destruction of a newly acquired Indian aircraft, implying both a military setback and financial loss for India. Its rapid spread on Chinese social media has coincided with a surge in nationalistic pride, with many users celebrating what they perceive as India’s embarrassment.

In response to online narratives and media reports from some Chinese outlets, Indian officials have asserted that all their pilots returned safely and have dismissed such claims as disinformation.

While India and Pakistan have since agreed to a ceasefire, the video continues to stoke heated exchanges on social media between Chinese and Indian netizens, raising concerns about the impact on already strained China-India relations.
