china occupied only eight features. however, these features were strategic points in the area, making china able to assert its exploitation rights for the whole area. in contrast, the philippines and malaysia are limited to particular regions in the area, making these two countries incapable of contesting exploitation rights in other regions. in his essay contributed for time asia in 1999, professor alex magno of university of the philippines pointed out that china is the main aggressor in the spratly dispute. magno, in particular, called on asean to be watchful of china's actions in the south china sea (magno said it is very unlucky for asean that the sea where the spratly group lies is named south china sea, named after china). being one of the major consumers of chinese goods and being adjacent to china itself, the asean bloc is capable of crippling the chinese economy, both through product boycotts and the possibility of peace instability. even non-spratly claiming asean nations—singapore, indonesia, laos, cambodia, thailand and myanmar—are more supportive to the vietnamese, philippine, malaysian and bruneian claims than the chinese claim. however, china today is beginning to engage itself in joint efforts to exploit the area. in particular, china, the philippines, and vietnam are already working on their second phase of drawing a joint exploitation plan.
