Say goodbye to Mekong--but don't wait too long.  Very soon, just a long ditch for a northern boundary.   How could it have been different?   SE Asian countries could have banded together to stand up to CCP bullying.

They have no balls.

China is winning in S.E.Asia hands down, while USA does all the talking, China is doing all the building.

Whether at sea or on land.

And it has one huge advantage, 1000 years of integrated history in the area, even before USA was founded.

Yep, and SE Asia's leaders are literally crawling into the shade of China's boot by taking their money.  Give it 20 years and it will ALL be China when the boot comes down!

Historically most of Asia has always been under the influence of China, via trade or with politics.

Thailand has seeds planted from China deep rooted in it's history and ancestry.

China is here to stay.

As they pump money into Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia expect the pressure to increase exponentially.
And now with Thailands funds severely depleted the begging hand will go out to China too to help rebuild it's economy as well as infrastructure, and Uncle Tu will gladly take the money and the consequences.
