Group joins war games in IndiaTABLETOP EXERCISES: In the final discussion of the war games, participants were asked to mull the perspective, policy and interests of the state they were simulatingBy Jonathan Chin / Staff writer, CNATaiwanese and Indian think tanks last month held a tabletop exercise in India simulating the potential effect of tensions in the Taiwan Strait on the Sino-Indian border, the Institute for National Defense and Security Research said on Friday. The institute and the New Delhi-based United Service Institution of India, with the assistance of US academics, conducted a war game called the Taiwan, US and India Trilateral Joint Military Simulation Workshop, it said. Strings of the flags of Taiwan and India are pictured at a school in New Delhi in an undated photograph. The exercise differed from US-held war games, as it focused more on actors other than the major powers and the diplomatic reaction from third parties, Shen said yesterday. The joint war games have the potential to be a template for more exercises, he said.
