New Delhi, May 15

Taiwan today started a five-day exercise named Han Kuang series of military exercises, simulating the nation’s armed forces responses to a potential Chinese invasion based on the latest threats posed by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

The exercise will be held in two phases. The five-day first phase commenced today. It involves computerised wargames that will be conducted using the United States-built Joint Theatre Level Simulation (JTLS) platform to simulate joint, combined, and coalition civil-military operations at the operational level.

The second phase of the live-fire exercise is scheduled for July 24-28. The Han Kuang exercises have been conducted annually since 1984. The computerised simulations that started today will be held around the clock for five days.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
