Everybody cherishes their independence.

What Asians hate more than American interference is Chinese domination and becoming vassal states to The Middle Kingdom.

Modi ran on a platform of closer relations with the US and away from Congress Non-Aligned Movement nonsense.

The Philippines has made overtures to the US about returning to Subic Bay.

Even Vietnam is making overtures to the US.

The US will remain an Asian Naval Power for the foreseeable future.

That's why a containment policy, an alliance of the Asian rim countries (Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, India) that together can meet China as an equal, is probably the best available situation in a post-American Asia. Of course, an even better solution would be American leadership in an Asian rim alliance, since otherwise the alliance would constantly be out of joint with the big three (Japan, Korea, India) all vying for top dog status, but that will have to wait for a President Cruz, Gohmert, or Palin.
