Australia seems like the ticket. Thinly populated by Asian standards and wide open spaces.

The reason Australia has such wide-open spaces is that those spaces are unihabitable for all intents and purposes.

The inhabitable parts are fairly densely populated.

Well, I guess they're on their way to Kansas.

Even with 'merely' solar energy, the spaces could have desalinated water.

With super cheap 'zero-point' energy, the open spaces could easily become forests and gardens.

But actually, China might be able to do wonders in Australia 'merely' putting millions treading gears for pumping water, desalting water etc. But she'll have the technology even if it has to be nuclear or solar.

How to make Australia's deserts blossom is merely a technical detail solvable in a list of ways.

Another way might fit . . . The Bible says a huge army or military force from a "KING OF THE EAST" will attack Israel and the middle east.

Perhaps they could plan to use the oil to desalt water for Chinese Australia.

BTW, if they conquer Australia, it won't be for long.

God will deal with China harshly if they are the King of the East attacking Israel.
