No, far from, mashallah.. mushkil se mushkil logistics operations pull off kar lete hai... my point was ki ab tak (modern era) they've been taking on much weaker adversaries. China will present a much bigger challenge.. who will facilitate their transport.. Japan, RoK, Pinoys ? I doubt...

India, BD don't count even if they would allow (which they likely wouldn't anyway) because the jung will be along China's industrial and finance + population hubs, all along their east coast.

Yeah expeditionary forces are a longshot. India, ROK, Japan, Australia (and most of SEA i believe) will be with USA. Though i dont think theyll go into direct combat anytime soon, still an interesting scenario.
