In the aftermath of a failed Indian airstrike on Pakistan, a viral Chinese meme video titled “My new plane got shot down Chinese song” is taking the internet by storm — poking fun at India’s military claims and sparking massive reactions online.
In recent days, India has been facing widespread international embarrassment and online mockery following its unsuccessful aerial confrontation with Pakistan. The incident, which reportedly involved Pakistan shooting down Indian Rafale fighter jets, has led to a digital storm of memes, satire, and viral content — not only from Pakistani creators but now also from China.
Chinese meme creators have jumped into the fray by releasing a satirical song video that’s quickly gaining momentum on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter). Titled by many online as “My new plane got shot down Chinese song”, the video portrays Chinese performers dressed as Punjabi dancers, humorously imitating Indian culture while dancing to the popular Punjabi song “Tunak Tunak Tun”.
The video, originally in Mandarin, includes English subtitles that further highlight its parody nature, taking direct aim at India’s claims of air superiority. With scenes filled with colorful costumes, exaggerated expressions, and a catchy tune, the video ridicules what it refers to as India’s “false military bravado.”
The phrase “my new plane got shot down” is repeated humorously throughout the video, symbolizing what netizens are calling India’s loss of face on both diplomatic and military fronts.
Social media users across Asia are sharing the video with trending hashtags like #MyNewPlaneGotShotDown, #ChineseMemeSong, and #IndiaPakistanTension. The video has gone viral, garnering millions of views and sparking debates over satire, national pride, and military accountability.
Pakistani and Chinese users alike are celebrating the creative jab, while Indian users have reacted with both criticism and concern over the growing online ridicule.
