China lacks the military to support operations not near their borders, they can't even take Taiwan. Have one carrier. They don't have any bases near the area. So it's an idol threat. Maybe in 20 years or more when they beefed up their navy.
Perhaps, but at the same time it will ensure that Pakistan, and a few other countries in the area where China has a good amount of influence will not succumb to ISIS. Just because China may not have much influence beyond their borders at this point doesn't mean that this will give them the impetus to set up shop in the the Middle East, and East Africa.
