There is no war apparent, but in actuality there is a cruel war going on which the outsiders do not know about, bystanders do not talk about, and insiders fight using all means necessary while still trying their best to hide it from the public.
The saying originates
"Russia did not invade Ukraine, and there is no war in Ba Sing Se."
"Censorship does not go against free speech. There is no war in Ba Sing Se."
"There is no inflation above 2% in USA in 2022, just like how there is no war in Ba Sing Se."
There is no war in Ba Sing Se. Except, there is. The phrase originates from the American anime Avatar, in which Ba Sing Se is secretly taken over by the Fire Nation. As propaganda, guides are brainwashed into saying, "There is no war in Ba Sing Se" whenever questioned about a possible war.
It is used in real life to satirize and joke about propaganda.
"Russia is not at war with Ukraine, as there is no war in Ba Sing Se."
"The economy in the US is fine, there is no war in Ba Sing Se"
