iNTELLIGENCE CABLE

 TOP SECRET // EYES ONLY — NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL BRIEFING

U.S. intelligence indicates significant divisions within Taiwan’s leadership.

  • A senior faction within Taiwan’s ruling coalition is quietly advocating delayed resistance in the event of a Chinese blockade, fearing economic collapse.
  • Opposition leaders are signaling openness to emergency negotiations with Beijing to avoid conflict.

Intercepts suggest Beijing is aware of these divisions and may accelerate pressure operations to exploit them.
