Yes and no. the Far east is much divided.
Pro US: Vietnam, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore
Pro China: the others from North Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia to Cambodia.
Chinese tactic is offering trade benefits with its giant domestic market in exchange for territory. If anyone refuses to give up territory Ccp will come with cheap propaganda, ancient maps, water cannons and guns. On the other side the US offers security and market.
What's wrong with ancient maps?
As a former vassal state of China, Vietnam and China had not drawn a clear border at sea.
Border issues and relations with the US are two issues, it is best not to turn them into one issue.
