I expect the Chinese would, probably in return for a couple of naval bases and airfields.
IMHO this is the deep strategic risk for Britain/ the west in Scotland going independent. Scotland will immediately become an economic basket case, so it'll have to either inveigle its into the EU as a net recipient of funds (against huge competition and a shrivelled EU budget), or go and find a wealthy benefactor who sees some value in Scotland's limited pool of quantifiable assets and real estate.
Might sound risible now, but we're probably not far off China moving to full global basing and pushing a few Cuba-style confrontations.
