No legally binding security arrangements emerged after Saturday’s ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), which resembled a confidence-building session more than anything.

However, it was clear that under the leadership of Indonesia, participants found an atmosphere conducive to fostering discussions on sensitive issues.

Your comments:

“China has repeatedly warned that it would not hesitate to take every step, including military action, against those who questioned its absolute sovereignty over its claim of the resource-rich territory.”

With a bully message like this:

It is justify for ASEAN to start to build powerful defense capabilities including thermal nuclear for self-defense and to align with the US, India and Japan.

A strong China is already a threat to the region and a stronger China will be a threat to world peace.
