Vietnam experiences really bad flooding around this time with both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city are submerged. This leads to it joining in a union state with neighboring Laos and sining a treaty to hand over many disputed islands to China in return for extensive economic assistance. It is still supposed to be a member of ASEAN, and as such still receives aid from other ASEAN countries so it does not want to jeopardise its relationship with either of these alliances by taking a side. Singapore stays neutral for simular reasons and China is by far Malaysia's biggest investor.

Indonesia is economicaly stable enough it can survive Chinese sanctions so it sends some aid to India in the form of millitary advisors and equipment rater then full millitary support. Even so these Indonesian soldiers only aid with Internal issues, mainly combating the UCPI rather then direct conflict with China.
