I also think that's an extremely likely scenario.
Also, East German troops in China would have been reliant on Soviet controlled media for information; when the Bunderwehr crossed the Inner German Border I think that Soviet propaganda would have went into overdrive spreading the message that their fraternal socialist brothers in the NVA were herocially resisting the facist invaders, so many East German troops in China might not know the real picture of what was happening back home.
