Which is what i'm saying. I don't think the US would ever allow that many Chinese troops to enter South America even before declerations of hostility.
The chinese would probably need at least 3 million troops in south America to pull it off... possibly more when you consider then massive air and missle advantages the US would hold.
Not to mention... even if they did got that way. They'd have to go through texas first... which is about the last place you'd want to start.
It's got a lot of Military bases, and even if taken is full of the people who are least likely to take being occupied well... There are estimates that there are more guns in the state then there are people. It's the one place in America where you'd have guranteed "house to house" fighting.
An Assault from Africa makes more sense because, while more fortified if you could crush the east coast you've taken out a LOT of power right away and a lot of east coast resources and less likely to deal with guerrilla warfare.
