They hold hands as friends, not lovers. I've seen this quite a lot in parts of Asia.

I think the Chinese guy may be respecting Pakistani culture. I’m not sure about Pakistani culture but men typically don’t hold hands in China. They may be holding hands to show friendship and comradeship as soldiers. Women do hold hands with each other, it’s extremely common to see two women hold hands in public.

The common soldiers have more in common with each other than they do with their leaders.
