    One reason why some of the ASEAN COUNTRIES (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand) are silent OR DUMBFOUNDED in the issue of the South China Sea is that they are in the pocket of China. Their infrastructures are debt loans to China while the Philippines chooses Japan.
    Every man for himself. The Philippines is not getting support from the Asean, therefore she has to secure her sovereign right by all means. Vietnam & Taiwan will do the same.

However, China has not shoot to death anyone over the incidents between China and Philippines. In addition, two Vietnamese fishermen died in 2017 in a tragic incident with the Philippine Navy. Further, Philippines’ claims are contested by other countries, such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, China and Taiwan, too. China is not the bad guy. So, Japan and US are ganging up with Philippines to suppress and to war with China.

      In another fatal shooting in Philippine waters, two Vietnamese fishermen were killed when a Philippine Navy ship fired warning shots on their boat, hitting the bow of the vessel.
      The Navy arrested the other Vietnamese fishermen who were allegedly poaching in waters off Bolinao, Pangasinan, on Sept. 23, 2017.
      The Vietnamese government said it would not press charges against two Navy officers and eight sailors who were found responsible for the deaths. The Philippine government, in turn, released the five other crewmen of the fishing boat on humanitarian grounds.
