A key body of the ruling Chinese Communist Party reaffirmed the “core” leadership of President Xi Jinping as the head of the party and the powerful military, as it ended its four-day meeting on Thursday. It also appointed Zhang Shengmin, the military's anti-graft chief, as the second-rank vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission.

The meeting backed a major purge of top military officials while endorsing a new 5-year plan to build a more resilient domestic market to ward off the impact of US's tariff war.

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).
