If we want a peace in SCS and IOR then India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan all should team up and form an alliance which is only the realistic solution to tackle Dragon...
Except Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos no country in SCS is pro China..... Thailand though quite close to China these days still close to USA as well....
Once these countries form an alliance and keep dedicated naval forces ready to oppose any aggressive actions of PLAN in check both in SCS and IOR along with we have very powerful anti China countries like South Korea and Japan along with USN in Pacific do you really think China will be able to do what it is doing right now???
Violating maritime boundaries of SCS nations, capturing islands, building artificial islands in some other nations maritime boundaries???? No it will definitely not dare..... such alliance is not impossible to form if we really want to get rid of daily bullying from Dragon....
Together we are like a Hunter.... alone we are like a Goat left on the mercy of hungry wild Tiger.... China exactly knows this....
