Disputes in South China Sea

Disputes in South China sea over Paracel and Spratly Islands, believed to have huge oil reserve, have put China and some SE countries at odd although China seems to have lessened the tension recently to be more friendly to Asean. It is what has made VN suspecious and hostile to China. Territorial disputes make some China's neighbors favor faraway superpowers. Many countries have been fighting to defense even an inche of their territory no matter it is on the Himalaya or remote Pacific while Cambodia is ceding its land to neigbours bluntly.
