Gnandeberg is correct - it all turns on Indonesia - it's very unlikely that they would become an ally of the PRC - and they are one hell of a road block in the way - even with their current minimal set of forces

With limited military investment they could make China's strategic position rather uncomfortable if they wanted to - unless the Chinese want to send everything via the Panama Canal

Australian support for the TNI should be a bedrock of your strategy
