The core of a coalition to oppose China in the South China Sea must be the Southeast Asian claimants themselves. They must recognise that the threat they jointly face requires them to settle or at least to shelve internecine maritime disputes. Vietnam and the Philippines have made some progress in this regard, as has Indonesia, despite its official position that it has no direct boundary dispute with China.
