Taiwan President Lai Ching-te will hold the first meeting of a civil defense committee intended to keep the archipelago resilient in any emergency — a move that comes as China ratchets up pressure on his government.

The body will gather on Thursday to discuss ways to train and use civilian assets and keep key energy facilities and critical infrastructure operating, the semi-official Central News Agency reported, citing government officials it didn’t identify.
