Vietnam rebukes China, Philippines over South China ...

This is why I've been saying for more than 10 years now that the ASEAN, or at least those affected (since some ASEAN members are under China's influence), should unite our claims.

Doing this as “Vietnam EEZ” vs “Philippine EEZ” is exactly what China wants to happen. Divide, make them weak, have back channel agreements with each.

Overlapping EEZ between ASEAN members should be elevated as a Common EEZ. Either as an ASEAN EEZ or only for those nations affected. We can share it amongst ourselves. Patrol and protect it together. Stand united against China.
