1. Top Chinese Communist officials believe Eisenhower's State of the Union
Message indicates the United States intends to expand the Korean war.
These officials are not worried about the deneutralization of Taiwan
because they believe this will increase friction between the United States
and the British, a result favorable to the Chinese. They wonder if the
United States wants to risk expanding the conflict in Asia without allies.
To prepare for the possibility of long-term resistance, the Chinese intend
to arrange for more military cooperation with the USSR and to increase
their anti-American drive.
2. Top non-Commun-ist officials of the Chinese government believe the Eisen-
hower administration has shifted emphasis from political to military
action against China, no hanger believing the peace talks at Panmunjom
will end the Korean war. These officta1e see the United'3tatee"
again giving CHIANG Kai-shek complete support. They feel the deneutral-
ization of Taiwan is the.first concrete step in a new American policy which
may include arming Japan for an attack on Korea and the Northeast and sup-
port for Nationalist mainland counterattacks. 25X1C
