China conducted an “air defence alarm test” in Lhasa on September 19. The Lhasa city government said the test served to “improve the general public’s conception of national defence and civil air defence awareness.” It was part of the annual National Defence Education Day, usually held on the third Saturday in September every year. The need for such a test in Lhasa could be related to ongoing Sino-Indian border tensions.
