I didn't think this would ever make it to film, I have a feeling it's going to be politically sensitive. John Marsden has always been somewhat coy about who the invaders were because he didn't want to encourage racism and xenophobic sentiment, he's said that a few times.
Although it's pretty obvious to me that it could only be one of two countries. In this film they will need to say who the invaders are, or at least show the ethnic make-up of the invading force and I think it's going be Chinese.
