South China Sea:
- In ASEAN, four countries have overlapping claim among each others. These four countries include Brunei, Malaysia, Philippine and Vietnam. Let's us ignore the big panda at the moment. Have we (ASEAN) tries to solve this issue among ourselves? After arguing and/or ignore for decades, have we see any result? The answer is NO.
- All these countries (except Brunei, because they have to pray, no time for other shxt) have build something on those Islands and Reefs decades ago. What make it different compare to the panda is the scale, because everything China build is big. If you claim something belong to you, you have to do something, which everyone already did. Some countries try to play innocent here. If i want to use troll/rude language, i will just say they are useless.
- We can't ignore some countries also try to invite outsider into the dispute, because it benefit them (work both way). Like Japan and PH, PH get the support and may be some free stuff, JP can get involved directly. Don't forget the big eagle from the west also been involved (for a long time). Do some people want to settle it? We can't deny that some parties try to prolong the issue, because they have their agenda. Worst case scenario might be small scale proxy war in the region (example: Vietnam War - war of ideology). Those big powers don't have to worry too much because those war/dispute will not happen in their homeland. Same like normal internal politic in every country, you need an enemy...
- Indonesia and China dispute can easily be settle behind the closed-door if they really want, but no rush as both have more important issue to focus on.
East China Sea:
- Rise of China definitely changing the geopolitical environment in the whole world. They have proved that you don't need a democratic system to be a successful and powerful country.
- Japan is the one who change the status quo regarding the Sensaku/Diaoyu Island issue; which is nothing wrong. Both countries also play the game especially internal and geopolitic, no one is innocent here.
- Both are strong countries and very intelligent, i wouldn't worry about them, because beside war, they have so many cards to play. Both are not stupid enough to let war happen in their homeland.
No comments on North China Sea. May be some Chinese member can share.
Let's me say it again, who allow those thing to happen? If you are weak, you can't completely blame others from taking advantage of you. Don't play innocent. Look at ASEAN, bunch of failure... They allow corruption, destruction of environment, religion bullshxt, all those bad thing happen in their country. They simply don't have the political intelligent to solve it. Or shall i say, they rather enrich themselves instead of building a strong nation. Only one country in the region already done it (SG). I try to see whether Indonesia have the capability to achieve it. China already proved that she can do that with over a billion of people.
