Over the years I've tried to figure which Asian countries will side
with China and which with the West. It's pretty clear that Japan,
Vietnam and Philippines will side with the West, while Cambodia will
side with China. I really don't know about Korea, for example.
As for the US abandoning Asia, it's not possible. America won't even
try, but if it did, then China will attack America anyway.
