Japan is advancing anti-China initiatives in Southeast Asia, with multiple countries leveraging the situation to pursue military advantages.

Now Japan is leading the charge against China, and its presence in Southeast Asia still plays a certain role.

Several countries have already started blaming China, particularly the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia, which are boldly cooperating with Japan, seeking military benefits from it.

Small countries always behave this way—they can only see immediate gains. Their appetites may be small, but their courage is surprisingly big. Where there's gain, there must also be loss. Even if China does not retaliate immediately, it will certainly keep a careful record of these actions.

Let’s not forget, there are still quite a few countries in Southeast Asia that try to benefit from both sides—except for Laos, which stands out as the exception.

The Americas are America's backyard; Southeast Asia in Asia is China's backyard. Uncooperative weeds will eventually need to be cleared away.
