CHINESE COMMUNIST CAPABILITIES AND INTENTIONS IN THE FAR EAST

THE PROBLEM

To estimate Communist China's objective* In the Far Bast, Its assessment of Its own position, and Its capabilities and likely courses of action over the next two years or ao; and to consider how these might be affected by the contingency of an open break In relations between the Chinese and SoticI Communist Parties.

CONCLUSIONS

Communist China almost certainly does not intend to attempt the openconquest of any other Far Eastern country during the period of thisCommunist China's leaders believe that they can eventually achieve theirIn the area at far leas cost and risk through the techniques ofpolitical warfare. When Peipingthe circumstances are right. It will endeavor to supplement the moreforms of political warfare with guerrilla and terrorist action byforces, supported and guided by

1 In any case, the Cornmuniat Chinese will seize every opportunity to undermine US standing and to generate antl-Amerl-oan feeling In the Far East. They will strive to promote discontent andIn the pro-Western countries of the area.

eiping has no compuncaons about openly using its military forces to extend its control when it can do so with little or no risk, It will continue its refusal to renounce the use of force for the seizure of Taiwan and the offshore Islands, but we believe that concern over retaliation by the US will deter it fromilitary conquest of Taiwan or the offshore islands during at least the period of this estimate. However, the Chinese might undertake limited military action In the Strait area to test Nationalistccfenses and to probe USor to call world attention to what it terms "the olanger to peace caused by the US occupationart of China's territory." (Paras.

eiping's reluctance to launch ainvasion in the Far East will almost certainly not prevent it from reacting vigorously to any US or SBATO action which Peiping believed threatened ItaFor example, if SBATO (or US armed forces alone) came to the defense of Laos or South Vietnam, peiping'swould probably be to increase Ita

In the more extreme situationEATO or US actionhreat to North Vietnam which the North Vietnamese forces could notthe Chinese Communists wouldcertainly In terrene overtly with their ownhould such actionto threaten tbe Communist position In northern Laos, the Chinese Comrnu-ista would probably Intervene overtly with their own frjrces. (Para.ZS)

f Slno-Sovlet relations were tofor example to the present level of Albanian-Soviet relations, Communist China's military capabilities would be somewhat reduced and Pelping would have much less confidence that It could count on the Soviet nuckir umbrella Perhaps most important, such an open Sino-Soviet break would also reduceChina's capabilities lor political warfr-e, atbe short run, The very foundations of communism would be shaken and Slno-Sovlet rivalry for dominant influence In the otherparties of Asia would have aeffect on these parties and would substantially weaken them as lnstru--jnents of subversion (or tho time being.)

discussion

Objectives

1hina's long-range goal to the Par East is the complete communlsauon cf the area under the hegemony of Pirping. Short of this thereumber of Interim objectives which lepresent stages oflowsrd this goal. These include: th*of Ocepmurust China's positionreat power, tbe reduction and eventualof the US military presence and the elimination of US Influence from the Far Bast In general and Taiwan In particular; Iheor subversion of governmentalIn the non-Commiir.lst countries of Asia; and the developmeot of communism tnnations of the area as the opportunityt Is these interim objectives which will most directly shape Communist China's policy during the period of this estimate.

he Soviet Union ts probably in general agreement with Communist China on these Interim objectives, although there are and wiH continue to be duTerences on tactics and timing Chinese Corrunonlst interests are more directlybe Par Baat than are those of the USSR, and Peiping appears to be men Impatient for concretetist advances, particularly ln areas ofUS Interest Chinese efforts tohegemony over Asia Intensify the trend toward division of the communist world into two major blocs with Moscow and Pelping as compeUUve centers. We believe that Moscow win strive to rttaun leadership ef themovement In tbe Far East as In the rest of then those areas where the strength of Pelplng's influence makes this Impossible. North Korea and North, Moscow will endeavor to maintain atarity of influence.

II. PEIPING'S ESTIMATE Or" THE SITUATION

Communist Chinas lciidciabelieve that tbe world situation Is ripe for the widespread pressing of enUeolonlal. Communist-guided revolutions. They are convinced that theand politic al strength of the Bloc has grown to the point where the West can no longer be sum of victoryilitaryThey probably estimate that, although the Western Powers will support localto leftist revolutions In thenon-Comminust countries, the fear ofajor war will prevent the Western Powers from taking effective, direct action against such rerolutlons. They point to Cuba as proof that they are right. They may also believe that even In the unlikely eventajor war should develop, the hazards would be far greater for the principal Western Powers and even for the USSR than for Communist China. While they are sJrnost certainly more sensitive to the consequences of general war than some of their morestatements uvucate, their concern over this possibility appears to be leas acute than that of their Soviet partner.

The Chinese Communists teller* that their own experience is more relevant than theexperience for guiding otherstates in Africa, Latin America, and especially in Asia. In addition, the Chinese Communists inherit traditional Chineseof superiority over other Asian peoples and believe that China Is the naturaland economic center of the area.

Chinese Communist leadersUS as the greatest barrier to theof their Ideological and naUonalthey see the US as thepre venting them from bringingto tba raolherland" andrevolution. Peiping almost certainlythat once the US military presencefrom Asia, the proximity ofChinese power will leadthe rise of Far Easternwill be Increasingly susceptible toCommunist Influence and the appeal

During theof this estimate, the Chinese Communists will posateainim ma capability for long-range attacks beyond the periphery of China, and they will possessimited capability to defend themselves against alr sttackodern and well-trained force.

IV. FOREIGN POtlCY

Pelplng's foreign policy is Influenced both by Communist objectives and ChineseInterests. Generally, but not always, these move in the same direction, and It Is possible that the Chinese Communist leaders are unconscious of any conflict between them. They probably hold tbat what Is good for Communist China Is good for the worldmovement. Since theheir general line of foreign policy bas aimed at creating tbe Imageower of vigor and rapidly Increasing strengthesult of having adopteda power leading the way for those countries which are still retarded and weak.

At the same time, Chinese nationalhave had considerable weight, even In some Instances when they required at least temporary sacrifice of Communist goals. The policy towardt least In partbecause Pelping asserts that the acquisition of Taiwanomestic matter,the completion of the civil war in China. Pelplng's relatively -lerce reaction topersecution of Overseasemporary victory ofover the Communist line. The most striking example of the sacrifice ofto national Interests is Pelplng'spursuit of border claims against India

hird factor, which le In the background of roost Chinese Communist foreign policy decisions, is the attitude of the USSR.Pelplng's policies [or the Far East probably involve higher risks than those of Moscow, thereiable area of overlapthem. This |tvea Pelping considerable flexibility, although Its dependence upon the protection of the Soviet nuclear deterrent gives Moscow some capability for restraining what It considers excessively risky Chinese policies. On the other hand, the Chinese probably still estimate that. In the lastthe Soviets could not afford to seedefeated ln China and wouldintervene despite disapproval of Pelplng's policies.

oreign policy differentiate*pro-Western regimes and benevolent neutrals. Thus it carries on varying degrees of overt propaganda warfare and subversion against South Korea, Japan, South Vietnam, Thailand, Malaya, and the Philippines while giving economic aid to such neutrals as Burma, Indonesia, and Cambodia. Even In these neutral countries there are significant Communist or pro-Communist elements which Peiping would attempt to use against the governments should they drift too far toward tlie West

In moving toward Its objectives ofUS Influence from the Far East and establishing Itself as the dominant power in the area, Ptiping'* strategy probably has made tbe acquisition of Taiwan and tbe com-munixlng of Japan and India Its mostgoals. On the basis of opportunity, however, Soulh Vietnam and Laos areprimary targets To the extent its domestic strength allows, Communist China will pursue and expand Its penetration efforts In Southeast Asia and elsewhere

V. LIKELY COURSES OF ACTION

the period of this estimate.China will almost certainlypursue Its interim objectives In theprimarily through the techniquespolitical warfare. Pelping willto capitalize on its power image,that it is dangerous to be anCommunist China and that communismInevitable wave of the future. AtUme, It will strive to convincepeoples that Communist China isgiant which poses no threatthat are not In league with thethat it le willing to provide generoussuch countries.

particular, Pelping will seise everyto undermine US standing inEast and to diminish the US presencein the area. The issue of USbe pressed, particularly in Okinawaand economic difficulties anywheroFar East will be attributed to thethe US. Peiping will continue itscapitalize upon anti-US feeling In theany group or class of people andthe fear of nuclear war In Itsimpel Western-oriented countries

he Chinese Communists almost certainly believe that If US support were denied to non-Communist Southeast Asia, any country tn this area could be subvertedery few years by poUUcal-guerrllla means. On this basts, Peiping will continue to work tothe effectiveness of US support of these countries. When Communist China's leaders estimate that the situationro-Western nation has become sufficiently soft, they will supplement political action with guerrilla-terrorist tactics against the IncumbentSuch actions will be conducted by local forces (often Chinese trained) aided bytechnicians and advisers. The Chinese Communists almost certainly feel thateriod of tune they can achieve theirby these means at little cost andairly low degree of risk.

n general, the Chinese Communists feel little need to resort to overt military invasion

order to enlarge their Influence or cororau-nlie other countries. On the other hand, they Dare no compunctions about openly using their military lorcea to aitend their control when it can do so with little or no risk-Thus, they ruthlessly overran Tibet; they hare Bred upon Tnitipn troops in the Himalayas; and they refuse to renounce the right to use force for the setture of Taiwan and tbe off* iho re islands

We do nethat Peiping willajor military effort against India during the next two yean or to. In the case of Taiwan and the offshore islands, concern over retaliation by the US will almost certainly deter them fromilitaryPeiping will probably bo fully aware of the dangers ofimited action In the Taiwan Strait from which it cannot disengage without appearing to suffer aIt remains possible, however, thatmight undertakection tn the Strait area daring the period of this estimate seeking thereby to test Nationalist defenses and to probe US determination or to call world attention to what It terms "the danger to peace caused by the US occupationart ot China's territory,"

Peiping's unwillingness to launch ainvasion In the Par Bast will aim oat certainly not prevent It from reactingto any USATO action whichbelieved threatened Its security.

VI. THE CONTINGENCYINO-SOVIET

spur

n the preceding sections of the estimate It has been assumed that the Sino-Sovietis likely to proceed withoutInto an open break in party relations. However, sincereak is at leastwe beHeve It useful to consider some of Its consequences.

f sino Soviet relations were tofor example to the present level of Albanian-Soviet relations, Communist China would be deprived of even the low levels of military supplies, technical aid, and economic cooperation it now receives from the USSR The replacement of Soviet sources with free world sources, particularly for POL. wouldCUfocult economic readjustments and would slow the rate ot economic growth. Moreover. Communist China would have to rely on relatively vulnerable sea lines rather than secure overland supply mates. InPeiping's prosjrress In the development of nuclear weapons and missiles would be retarded. This reduction of capabilities would in itself limit somewhat the range ofPeiping could actively pursue In the Far Bast,uch greater inhibiting factor probably would bo Peiping's greatly Increased uncertainty that It could count on the Soviet nuclear support.

erhaps most Important, an open Slno-Sovlet break would also weaken Communist China's capabilities for political warfare, at least in tbe short run. Tbe very foundations of communism would be shaken and Sino-Soviet rivalry for dominant Influence In tha oUk Communist parties of Asia wouldpbve affect on these parties and would sutotanttally weaken them as instruments ot subversion for the time being. In those parties where Peiping ultimately succeeds in establishing its predominance, policies would
