China seems to have played its hand a little early. Remember the Japanese islands’ dispute?.. They also have had skirmishes with Vietnam before...
India and Vietnam are actually increasing military co-operation with a eye firmly on ensuring China does not get trigger happy and try to take the islands by force.
It wouldn’t be China’s best interest if all the smaller countries banded together with a little muscle added in by India and possibly the US.

Truthfully, all three... Errr... maybe four to include the Pino boy’s, are all reliant on the US military, solely, as their spines in their arm wrestling with the Chi-Com’s.
That precisely is why all four (Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, and India, the latter two in particular) would allow America’s shadow to tag alongside them whenever they need to deal with the Chinese.
