&&BRIEF
"China’s military advantage should enable them to conquer their neighbors.  Alliances among the other regions could offset the advantage, particularly if China is forced to fight on multiple fronts.  Economically, China also has the best combination of resources and manufacturing."

"China’s military advantage should enable them to conquer their neighbors.  Alliances among the other regions could offset the advantage, particularly if China is forced to fight on multiple fronts.  Economically, China also has the best combination of resources and manufacturing."

&&CUSTOMNOTES 01
"Now that the Taiwanese question has finally been resolved, concern in East Asia is that China will seek to increase its influence over its neighbors.  The newly formed economic union in Indo-China between Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand is particularly concerned that China will use its overpowering military to annex their territory.  ¶¶In Korea the concern is based more on an economic question…  The modernization of the former North Korea continues to be a drain on their resources and a China that includes Taiwan would be more than a match to battle them for international markets.  ¶¶Although Japan shares Korea’s concerns they also wonder whether China will be content to leave their conquest solely to economic superiority.  Intelligence reports claim that military buildups are underway on both China’s northern and southern borders.  If China where to take Korea, what would stop them from then attacking the Japanese islands?"

&&CUSTOMNOTES 02
"With so much in turmoil in the world, concern in East Asia is that China will seek to increase its influence over its neighbors.  As American forces no longer bolster Taiwanese defenses, it seems only a matter of time before China reclaims its independent island. The newly formed economic union in Indo-China between Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand is particularly concerned that China will use its overpowering military to annex their territory.  ¶¶Korea’s future is based more on an economic question…  The modernization of the former North Korea continues to be a drain on their resources and should China reclaim Taiwan, it would be more than a match to battle them for international markets.  ¶¶Although Japan shares Korea’s concerns they also wonder whether China will be content to leave their conquest solely to economic superiority.  If China is successful in uniting Taiwan with the mainland their confidence might make them look farther out to sea.  Intelligence reports claim that military buildups are underway on both China’s northern and southern borders.  If China were to move as far as Korea, what would stop them from then attacking the Japanese islands?"

&&EMAIL 00

&&EMAIL 01 - Japan
"We must prevent China from further growth or they will eventually come after us.  Korea is the key…  It is much better that we bury our long-standing disagreements with them.  Only by standing with them can we hope to curb the Chinese expansion.  If we can achieve an alliance with Korea, we should immediately move to reinforce their borders.  Keeping our relationship secret would not dissuade China from action. ¶¶If hostilities should break out between us and China, it will be imperative that our first strikes be targeted at their nuclear capabilities.  Our analysts believe they will not think twice about using them against us."

&&EMAIL 02 - China
"We have never been in a stronger position to assert control over our troublesome neighbors.  The unification of Korea is particularly troubling.  Their military strength now could legitimately threaten our security.  Our southern neighbors are not as important, but we should not pass on the opportunity to permanently settle issues there as well. ¶¶In general it is the recommendation of our intelligence agencies that we use our current strength to decisively assume the leadership of all South East Asia.  If our neighbors refuse to see the wisdom of joining with us, we will just have to change their minds for them."

&&EMAIL 03 - Vietnam
"Our newly formed alliance (Laos / Cambodia / Vietnam / Thailand / Mianmar) is not likely to keep China at bay.  We know they are planning some sort of military action, but we do not know yet whether it will be aimed at us or at a conquest of Korea.  It will likely not matter.  Even if they are planning on attacking Korea, that will only delay their assault on our independence. ¶¶We have kept a so-called Super Power at bay before though…  Perhaps we will do so again!  Some of our strategists have even recommended initiating conflict with China 

&&EMAIL 04 - Korea
"Unfortunately we will not be able to scale back our military buildup as we had hoped after reunifying our homeland.  Now that China has successfully repatriated Taiwan, they are obviously going to use this opportunity to further their influence throughout South East Asia.  We are unfortunately in their way…  Even a Unified Korea will have trouble standing up against them. ¶¶Initial attempts to improve diplomatic ties with China have been spurned but maybe we are looking in the wrong direction.  Instead we should consider improving relations with Japan and perhaps even the newly formed coalition to the south as our best hope to survive any Chinese aggression.  If China eliminate us, there is no doubt that they would not stop there.  Whether Japan realizes it or not, they are in the same boat as us."

&&EMAIL 06 – Japan
"We must beware of China should they be successful in reclaiming Taiwan or they will eventually come after us.  Korea is the key…  It is much better that we bury our long-standing disagreements with them.  Only by standing with them can we hope to curb the Chinese expansion without involving ourselves in the Taiwanese issue.  If we can achieve an alliance with Korea, we should immediately move to reinforce their borders.  Keeping our relationship secret would not dissuade China from action.  It may however force them to divide their attention thus keeping the issue with Taiwan unresolved.  ¶¶If hostilities should break out between us and China, it will be imperative that our first strikes be targeted at their nuclear launch capabilities.  Our analysts believe they will not think twice about using them against us."

&&EMAIL 07 - Korea
"Unfortunately we will not be able to scale back our military buildup as we had hoped after reunifying our homeland.  The threat from China remains too great despite their preoccupation with Taiwan.  Should China achieve a quick victory there, they will obviously use this to further their influence throughout South East Asia.  We are unfortunately in their way…  Even a Unified Korea will have trouble standing up against them. ¶¶Initial attempts to improve diplomatic ties with China have been spurned.  Although appealing, dealing with Taiwan could certainly yield some advanced technologies but may bring Chinese forces to our doorstep even sooner.   Maybe we are looking in the wrong direction.  Instead we should consider improving relations with Japan and perhaps even the newly formed coalition to the south as our best hope to survive any Chinese aggression.  If China should eliminate us, there is no doubt that they would not stop there.  Whether Japan realizes it or not, they are in the same boat as us."
