-
- A Chinese military newspaper on Tuesday lays out in chilling
new detail how China could conquer Taiwan -- by force.
-
- Beijing's tactics, according to the Haowangjiao Weekly,
which is sponsored by the People's Liberation Army, might include a "neutron
bomb attack on Taiwan and a nuclear showdown with the United States."
-
- KNIGHT RIDDER circuits are first with details of the
Chinese paper's manifesto.
-
- "The United States will not sacrifice 200 million
Americans for 20 million Taiwanese,'' predicted one of the articles in
a 16-page special issue of Haowangjiao.
-
- The Chinese army publication's "Taiwan special edition"
sold briskly at newsstands throughout Beijing, reports KNIGHT RIDDER's
Michael Dorgan.
-
- The publication describes in detail how "China has
developed new, multiple-warhead long-range missiles" and how China
could attack "U.S. satellites and military bases in the Pacific."
-
- "If that was insufficient, the article said, China
would fire a nuclear warning shot in the Taiwan Strait and threaten the
United States with a nuclear attack if it did not withdraw."

- China Reveals Nuclear War Plans Against US
3-21-00
-
-
- WASHINGTON (UPI) - China's
People's Liberation Army has outlined plans, including a nuclear conflict
with the United States, to "liberate" Taiwan, Hong Kong's South
China Morning Post newspaper reported Monday.
-
- The PLA issued a 16-page publication, the Howangjio Weekly,
that was devoted to Taiwan, that was sold on street corners. In contrast,
most Chinese newspapers had little to say about Taiwan's pro-independence
vote.
-
- The publication included plans to send 200,000 fishing
vessels with a two-million-strong invading force to take over Taiwan. It
also included photographs of what it said were the most advanced secret
weapons in the world. These included laser weapons to disable the U.S.-owned
F-17's guidance systems, the newspaper said.
-
- The PLA has reportedly been working on a new generation
of nuclear weapons, the publication said, and it outlined steps by which
China would threaten the United States with nuclear war. China would then
sway U.S. public opinion by making economic concessions, and it would increase
arms purchases from Russia, the Post reported.
-
- It would then stage a limited attack on Taiwan and if
that failed, China would mobilize its people into exercises that would
show that it is preparing to survive a nuclear war, the newspaper said.
-
- "The United States will not sacrifice 200 million
Americans for 20 million Taiwanese and eventually they are going to back
down," the publication said.
