I think Ive played to much civ, but wouldnt it be a complete power move from China to intervene heavily and ensure a semi-vassal regime comes to power including rights to build navy bases and ports at the indian ocean and rail connections to china? It would have major impact on their situation if they could avoid the straight of Malaca and the island chains around them. Seems that in the current situation it would be an easy sell to intervene/heavily support some faction under a humanitarian pretext, and hard to see what the west could do. Maybe India going bonkers is the consideration? Maybe someone that knows more about the situation can answer?
