I tend to go tromping where angels fear to tread, but historically
speaking
China has rolled into India (or the north of it) a fair few times. Given
that by the time they have a crack at India they control Russia, central
Asia and quote possibly parts of southeast Asia India just looks the
next
"sensible" step. This would be especially true if India's population had
overwhelmed its economy and/or their had been hostilities with Pakistan
that
had further weakened them. There are a fair few corridors they could use
to
get their (and then there's advance tech troop delivery possibilities).
Of
all the different "occupations" the Asian ones seem the most plausible
to
me.
