Galwan Valley: Competition for trademarking the last words of Chinese Soldier, government lulls companies

China's National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) reported that since February 20, many companies have applied to use 'crystal clear love'. However, all such applications have been rejected. NIPA has also reprimanded the companies for this.   

Beijing: The last words of the Chinese soldier who lost their lives in the violence of Galwan Valley cannot be used to sell products. The Communist government of China has told the companies with this clear message that the respect and love the soldier has expressed in terms of the country should not be seen from the point of view of making a profit. China's top intellectual property body has condemned the companies, rejecting applications related to such trademarks. 

Xiangrong's diary viral

In fact, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldier who lost his life in a clash with Indian soldiers wrote a phrase related to patriotism in his diary, which has now gone viral. Companies are competing to get him trademarked. Let us know that China has officially confirmed the death of five of its soldiers in the Galvan Valley violence that took place last year. The communist government has also made public the information of all the soldiers, after which the words written in Chen Xiangrong's personal diary have become viral. Companies are seeing big profits in this expression of patriotism. However, the government has shattered their expectations.

'Crystal Clear Love'

According to the report of 'Hindustan Times', Chinese soldier Chen Xiangrong, who lost his life, wrote, "My love is crystal clear and it is only for China". The National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) reported that since 20 February, several companies and individuals have applied to use 'crystal clear love' for the registration of trademarks on 17 items, including food and beverages. 

NIPA condemned companies

China Daily has quoted NIPA as saying that all such applications have been rejected. NIPA said that what the martyred soldier has written in his diary shows his love and selfless dedication towards the motherland. It cannot be allowed to be used for business. The statement said that trademarks should not be harmful to socialist ethics and customs. NIPA has also condemned companies applying for trademarks.

China is very sensitive to its soldiers killed in the Galvan Valley. So far, at least 8 people have been arrested on charges of insulting soldiers. Blogger Qiu Ziming has become the first person against whom action has been taken under the new law to damage the reputation and honor of the army and martyrs. A case was filed against Ziming on March 1 and it is believed that he could be sent to jail.
