&&BRIEF
"Food production in many regions is not adequate for the demands of the population.  There will be no voting for the reunification of China.  Only through military action and intimidation will these regions be conquered.  Leaders will have to be careful.  With so many joined borders, an attack against one region will likely domino."

&&NOTES
"The strain to hold China together has finally become too great.  What started as a mere inconvenience to their communist system, has inadvertently brought about its downfall...¶¶Environmental issues, such as growing deserts, have helped to accentuate the many economic issues that have been experienced during the previous years of the global recession.  (As Western economies became more isolated and protectionist they had dramatically reduced the importing of Chinese goods.)  Tensions between the various administrative districts within China have grown as a direct result, and the people have openly begun questioning their leadership...¶¶On August 6th 2009, the Premier and two senior Congress members were assassinated in a car bombing.  While the new leader proclaimed that it was the corruption of the Capitalist attitudes now invading their society that had caused the violence, it soon became apparent that the hard-line Communists were likely behind the murders. ¶¶As the new leadership ordered a total crackdown on the population and an elimination of all the economic reforms, several provinces and more importantly their district military leaders, decided the government in Beijing was not legitimate and refused to follow orders.  The details of the next few months are sketchy, but what is known is that the Communists have retained control of the Beijing Province while more reform-oriented leadership is in place in the Shanghai and Guangzhou territories.  Rather than cooling off, the tensions between the regions still appear to be increasing.  Taiwan's public arrogance during this upheaval has further added fire to the situation, and it has become clear conflict between the regions is likely and that the power struggle has only just begun."

&&EMAIL 00

&&EMAIL 01
"With US naval support removed from our waters the mainland is now a great threat.  We advise reviewing our naval, air and missile defenses while watching any mainland conflicts that may arise.  Treaties with mainland regions may allow us to coordinate attacks, and change the balance of power but a military build-up is highly recommended before taking the offensive.  We should watch for conflicts to arise and prepare for the worst."

&&EMAIL 02
"We have little or no production of oil, timber and ore.  Administration suggests we address this issue.  Our region borders Jinan and Guangzhou and off our coastline sits Taiwan.  Focus on the actions of other mainland regions while guarding from possible pressure from across the Taiwan Strait.  A neighboring ally may prove useful, but be careful that our ally doesn't become a threat to our own borders."

&&EMAIL 03
"While we border four regions, Beijing and Nanjing are poised to be our greatest threats.  Shenyang's navy sits off the Shandong Peninsula and should be watched closely.  If we are attacked Shenyang may want to force us to fight an additional front.  Use terrain to our advantage in the north for land defense.  Any aggression towards neighboring regions has to be carefully planned while preventing any border weakness.  We support our navy with sea piers but should we wish to increase its size we will need to build, or acquire, a naval port."  

&&EMAIL 04
"All production is at sustainable levels for current demand except in oil and industrial goods.  It should be noted that the large army in Shenyang, that once protected our borders as a united China, could be turned against us.  Any military move will have to be carefully planned so we don't expose ourselves to an unprovoked border strike.  Our key advantage is our large population.  Motivate people towards a war effort.  Increase our output of military units, recruit military personnel and train our forces for war." 

&&EMAIL 05
"Our greatest asset in the reunification of China is our immense army.  We have benefited from the deployments to protect China from Russia and Korea, and now we can use this strength to assert our influence over our neighbors.  After all, the current problems in those two countries will definitely keep them from threatening China any time soon.  North Korea has always been preoccupied with invading South Korea and Russia has its own problems to the North.  Perhaps some key alliances with stronger regions would be advised, while we prune the weaker regions from the map. ¶¶Although we have substantial military forces, our weakness could be a lack of industry to support their buildup.  We need to build at least one Military Goods facility to ensure our equipment can be supplied and maintained."  

&&EMAIL 06
"Our navy needs to watch the action of Nanjing and Taiwan while our army defends our borders. Our largest threats come from the North where our land borders four other regions. Chengdu and Lanzhou on our western border are weaker than Jinan and Nanjing, but should not be left unchecked. They may try an unprovoked attack out of desperation and necessity.  We have a great demand for oil and uranium.  We could consider building oil pumps and converting our electricity production to timber to reduce our reliance on Uranium. Increase timber production as needed. If internal resources cannot be met, look to neighboring regions for what is needed."

&&EMAIL 07
"Our military numbers less than that of our neighboring regions.  Lanzhou to the North would be a good ally as we address our economy and increase our military presence.  We control all of Tibet and our population is spread across our vast countryside.  At present we rely mostly on imported agriculture to feed our people.   Gain strategic information on surrounding regions and focus on internal affairs before attempting to expand our borders.  We should stay out of any battle until we are sure we can hold our own."

&&EMAIL 08
"While we maintain good oil production capacity some of our oil fields remain in poorly supplied territory.  Increasing supply to these regions will increase our outputs allowing sales to the World Market.  Our capital city Xi'an sits in a vulnerable position being less than 250 KM from the borders of four nearby regions.  As a likely target for enemy forces we must ensure that we make preparations.  We could increase supply in this area by installing a military base.  Since our build capacity is low this will allow the production of additional military units.  Intelligence reports will help determine our next course of action."   

&&EMAIL 09  (Mongolia - may not be a playable region in single player games)
"So many regions speak of the difficult economic times they are now suffering but little has changed for us.  Our people live in poverty and with so few natural resources available to us developing a stable economy remains a key challenge.  Our military, what little we have, is outdated and poorly maintained.  Perhaps recovering what goods we can from this equipment would provide us capital to begin reforms.  Our one possible advantage is the lower population will require fewer goods.  If we could negotiate some trades with other regions, quantities that would seem small to them could sustain us for quite a while.  World Market subsidies may also help us along so we must not loose their support.  With the region on the brink of chaos, we may at least be able to survive and see what opportunities present themselves."
