It's hard to see the Red Army ploughing through Indonesia so you're thinking of fighting the Chinese Navy and Air Force somewhere north of Indonesia & PNG.

What makes you think they'd stay North of Indonesia?
They've had absolutely no problems coming right down to the Coral Sea!

Have a look at a map to see how close that is.
