Beijing: The Chinese Army has started training Tibetan troops for conducting special operations in high altitude regions, media reports said.
The Chinese Army held an exercise for its Tibetan troops who have been inducted into their service after going through a number of 'loyalty tests' including learning the mainland Chinese language and following their practices, sources told ANI.
The Chinese, sources said, are apparently trying to create a force like the Indian Special Frontier Force, which has many Tibetans in it who specialise in mountain warfare.
"The Tibetan troops of the Chinese Army are being trained for special operations and recently held drills in their rear areas," the sources told ANI.
India and Chinese troops were engaged in a bitter border battle in recent times causing heavy casualties on both sides.
