The Times reported that China has used a microwave weapon in Ladakh to repel Indian soldiers from their position, based on the report of a talk given by a Chinese professor Jin Canrong of Renmin university in Beijing.

However, Indian army has denied that any such event took place during the confrontation in Ladakh.
It appears more like a 'fake news' circulated by China. Most news in China are monitored and it is highly likely the hews was fake. Visit the site for more fake news: https://pib.gov.in/factcheck.aspx
Looking at the logic of this announcement it appears this 'fake' news was more for domestic consumption. It definitely makes it appear China having superior technology and using judiciously to 'avoid firing bullets'.
This said in news from such such areas of conflict may need to be taken with a (sizeable) grain of salt.
