Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam have huge
potential for further growth given the right leadership and less outside
instigation. The hope is that ASEAN does not fall to the dark side like
Europe. When that happens, ASEAN will be asked to sacrifice for the
interest of the USA like the Europeans. When the devil enters the house,
chaos and destruction is bound to follow.
Dumb countries that
have suffered under the yolk of colonization and still wants to have a
repeat of that just like the Philippines deserves no sympathy. What has
the USA done for the Philippines other than instigating a conflict with
China that will not do the Philippines any good.
Even the
Africans have now realized they have to steer away from the West that
have not done anything to improve the lives of Africans other than
stealing their resources for centuries. Enough is enough for them. Most
have thrown out the Anglo-Saxon colonizers. Some Dictators are
understandably still sleeping with the Whites and exploiting the
country. They will not last for long, when the people start to see the
progress that neighbors free from colonization are enjoying great
infrastructures, ports, railways and airports that they envy.

ASEAN must be smart enough to see whether China is indeed a threat to it or just hyped up by the USA to create a threat to start a war in the region.
What is the motive of the USA if it intends to start a conflict in the region?
It has been reported that the USA is conducting a regime change in Cambodia. Laos will be on their radar with Myanmar a works in progress. These are countries having good and close relations with Beijing.
What the USA failed to accomplish in Hong Kong, they are now looking at ASEAN countries to destabilize to further its interest. Thailand too has its fair share of instigations, using the CIA and USA supported NGOs to create instability. The Thai Military and the Thai Monarchy had been able, so far, to deter unrest. What will happen with the new Government is still not known and to whose interest it is migrating towards is not clear.
The USA is targeting a couple of countries in ASEAN, particularly Indonesia. When persuasion fails as in Vietnam, covet action takes over.
By the way, the Philippines is reported to be willing to throw Duterte under the bus, to cater to the demands of the USA. The Government is said to be willing to allow Duterte to be extradited to be punished for his actions against the drug lords in the Philippines while he was in power. That shows how much control the USA had over Mickey Marcos. Supporters of Duterte must do another people's power to make things right. Getting rid of drugs in the Philippines ought to be a good thing rather than being seen as a crime against humanity. It just boggles the mind!
Now that ASEAN had expressed its desirability to have China in the region more than the USA, the splitting up of ASEAN is a priority for the USA and ASEAN leaders must be able to see what is coming. ASEAN will be ruined like Europe if the USA succeeds in breaking up the grouping and turning ASEAN against China. China is still an important trade partner for all ASEAN countries. It is up to ASEAN leaders to measure carefully what is in it for them with the USA dictating the direction.
