Most SEAsian countries look on China with distrust, at best. Vietnam fought a war with China in modern times (‘78 or so).
Both Burma (Myanmar) and Laos have list territory to Chinese incursions, most notably in the former ‘Golden Triangle’ regions.
Malaysia (formerly Malaya), Indonesia, and the Philippines have all fought Chinese-backed insurgencies.
They know which end of the tiger has teeth. And deal with it accordingly.
