Marines from the Essex ARG have landed ashore and are assisting Taiwanese Army forces in mopping up PRC resistance. Meanwhile, air strikes from the Chinese mainland have been considerably reduced in volume and intensity. Intelligence and media reports indicate a great deal of confusion - some say chaos - in Beijing, and HUMINT sources say there is a power struggle underway between revisionist democratic leaders and the governing party. While this is promising in some respects, there is also an associated danger. The Chinese ballistic missile base at Datong shows signs of increased activity. Indeed, it appears the base will be fully operational and ready to launch its missiles within 48 hours. It is possible that hardliners have issued orders for the isolated base to commence a ballistic missile attack upon enemies of the PRC. Released March 2005. Click here to download this file
