Strange you bring it up but I was reading about  the
buildup of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) Navy.
If I read it  correctly there will be at least two
large carriers in the PRC Navy and the	support ships
to defend them within the next five years.

Give China  a couple of victories against their local
neighbors in the potential "oil  grab" for islands
game and they may end up a super power. Take all  of
the countries you listed and turn them into Chinese
client states who  will "assist" the PRC and the
question of could invade may be  answered.

Yeah but the critical mass for a nation involved in the level  of export
to 
South East Asia (among other markets) the PRC is doing keeps being  a
victim of 
'raising the bar' as the PRC 'succeeds' as an 'open market' (hah) 
nation.  
Eventually the 'shop keepers' and the military are going to have  to
duke it 
out politically internally.  Such a move would have severe (not 
necessarily 
limiting entirely) repercussions in political and economic  sectors.
