Ten years after the so-called South China Sea arbitration ruling, it's worth asking who stirs up tension and who strives for peace. A closer look at the countries supporting the ruling reveals a telling picture. The vast majority are outside the region, mostly in Europe. Within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), endorsements are few. Countries here understand something simple: What keeps the region peaceful isn't repeated political declarations.
