| would the communists attempt to push for a war to capture taiwan if the social problems within china worsen? according to the diplomat that fled to australia, the communists are increasingly worried about dissent amongst the public. he cited taiwan as a very important propaganda tool for the communists.
if the communists felt that their hold on power could be overcome, and attempted a war to capture taiwan to maintain power, is it not possible that they could use a nuke?
i don't necessarily think that they would initially, but if a war ensued, they could eventually decide to use one after all - especially if they were losing. |
