Beijing's tactics, the publication said, might include a neutron bomb attack on Taiwan and a nuclear showdown with the United States. "The United States will not sacrifice 200 million Americans for 20 million Taiwanese," predicted one of the articles in a 16-page special issue of Haowangjiao Weekly, which is sponsored by the People's Liberation Army. "They will finally acknowledge the difficulty and withdraw." Haowangjiao, an arm of the State Commission of Science Technology and National Defense, an agency of the People's Liberation Army, did not set a deadline for reunification. But it reported that China "will announce a timetable for reunification at the proper time this year."
