In this thread we would like to discuss the geopolitics of South East and East Asia.
proposed ASEAN+ regional group: ASEAN-10+Japan+South-Korea+North-Korea+Sri-Lanka+Bangladesh+PNG+Timor-Leste+Maldives
This is an old map of Japanese empire. ASEAN+ obviously will exclude what is now in PRC+Taiwan, but will include the new additional countries such as Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives and East Timor.
ASEAN-10:
Indonesia
Thailand
Malaysia
Singapore
Philippines
Vietnam
Myanmar
Brunei
Cambodia
Laos
Neighbor powers:
China (PRC+Taiwan)
India
Russia
ANZ
Global power:
USA
