The idea of some East German units joining their Chinese “comrades” in the fight against Soviet communism is intriguing. Certainly, it would make for some very good press in late 1996. However, one wonders how the East Germans would have been handled on October 7. East German formations in contact with the Chinese might have been able to cross over. East German units in reserve (in the Far East) might have much less chance of escaping the warm embrace of their Soviet allies. Still, one can imagine a host of possibilities.
