Is it possible for the Southern part of China to be invaded by Ayuthaya or any South East Asian polity and the mongols get the north.
In terms of geography and history, you may as well have asked if Spain could do it.

I did it once with the same state in EU3, although first I conquered entire Indochina.
South East Asian polity?
Northern Vietnam was an integral part of China for over 1000 years - from about 110 BC to 930 AD. Yes, they rebelled occasionally, but so did various provinces of China. They were never independent for long.
Champa, however, was outside the borders of China.
Vietnam was the one of Ten Kingdoms of Wudai period that never was reunited with Song Empire.
Could you have Vietnam taken over, not by rebellion of locals inside China as per OTL, but by invasion of Champa outside China?

Thank you kindly, this needs to be said more often.History is not a game of RISK. Or EU3 or Victoria or whatever else you may try and draw inspiration from. States do not wage war to make pretty shapes on a map. They do not conquer because that one province will totally give them a land border with China. They do not conquer for the sole purpose of conquering.
History does not work that way. You have to take into account all sorts of factors that you are simply ignoring in favor of playing RISK. Go to the Shared Worlds Forum for stuff like this.
