I decided to split this discussion off of my other thread because it's an interesting idea and wasn't going to get the attention it deserves there. It is also simulatneously more general and more specific than that--the latter in being specifically Chinese, and more general in that they don't necesarilly have to reach the Americas at any point. So in other words, it's completely different from the point of that thread, though related.

So anyway, let's talk about getting more expansive and agressive Chinese trade in the South Seas. It'll probably be more along the lines of various merchant clans carving up spheres of influence in the spice trade rather than out-and-out colonialism, but whatever.
