Can this region become a global player?
No, its China's sphere of influence. As well as Korea and Japan in the near future.

>>534348771I recently, for the first time in many years, experienced that joy of finding something unknown on the map when I zoomed in on the space between the Philippines and Vietnam. The spratley islands. It’s weird because you’d think they’d be depicted on maps but they’re not. I suppose because it’s politically awkward since everyone wants them.And it’s basically not very interesting since no one really lives there, but for a moment it felt like finding something completely new.
