Beijing, October 16

China will accelerate the building of a world-class military and strengthen its ability to build a strategic deterrent capability, President Xi Jinping said on Sunday at the opening of the once-in-five-year Communist Party Congress in Beijing.

China must adhere to the party’s absolute leadership of the military, Xi said in a speech before some 2,300 delegates at the Great Hall of the People.

‘Will never renounce the right to use force over Taiwan’

Jinping said it is up to the Chinese people to resolve the Taiwan issue and China will never renounce the right to use force.

Xi made the comments in his opening speech at the ruling Communist Party’s 20th party congress in Beijing.

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).
