South Sudan

The only thing there I could think of would be Americans needing evacuation. Aside from that, nothing comes to mind.

Agreed, the Chinese run the oil there so they should do it.

That is of course against my view of needing a presence in the region to counter Chinese influence and prevent the spread of militant Islam etc...
I'm a conflicted guy!

I'll be honest, I'd love to see a Chinese effort outside of China to quell the militant spread of Islam. Nobody is going to attempt to haul them in to an international court on war crimes and human rights abuses, and they know it. Genocide is easy when you know you won't pay the consequences.

However, the Chinese are shrewd enough to know that their business interests would suffer mightily as a result of full extermination. It would be interesting to see how China protects its interests should Sudan express an interest in taking advantage of South Sudan's unrest.
