Do you follow Conculture and the recent expansion of Ill Bethisad? I seem by default to have charge of the Indonesian area, and one of my assumptions is that the Chinese did NOT take that decision. They didn't expand, in this view, but they kept control and influence, and kept the round-eye barbarians away. Srivijaya and Majapahit still survive, the Dutch never got control of Indonesia etc. etc. Look like I need to see what Eamon is up to with Bahasa Vijaya.......
