Others like Laos and Cambodia do not appear uncomfortable at all with Chinese policies. It is only Vietnam and Indonesia which appear prepared to assert their rights on territorial issues.
Vietnam has insisted on moving ahead with oil exploration along its maritime frontiers. India, in turn, is going ahead with oil exploration contracts with Vietnam, noting that the ONGC exploration is not connected with territorial disputes.

Over the last 16 years, civilian casualties have mounted to 31,000, increasing progressively to over 4,000 a year. The Afghan security forces are losing nearly 7,000 men a year
The U.S. has contributed significant blood and treasure, spending over a trillion dollars (considerably more if long-term veterans' care is included) and losing more than 2,400 lives in pursuing the longest war in its history.
6. The arc to Southeast India 25.1.18 by Harsh Pant http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/the-arc-to-southeast-asia/article22515403.ece
But it is no match for China's regional profile which is largely about viewing Southeast Asia as its backyard. India's economic focus too is not in tune with other regional powers which view ASEAN as an important market for exports and investments. India's export sector remains weak.
The three Cs of commerce, connectivity and culture have been highlighted but a more granular perspective is needed in terms of a forging a forward-looking approach.
the Indian IT sector may take some advantage of the seeming reluctance of ASEAN states to put all their eggs in the Chinese basket. India as a facilitator of the ASEAN-wide digital economy would not only challenge China but also emerge as an economic guarantor of its own.
In this context, prompt completion of the India-Myanmar-Thailand Trilateral Highway, which will run from Moreh in Manipur to Mae Sot in Thailand via Myanmar, is key
