>But Japan and South Korea pretty much would have won the East Asia Economic war if not for China
That's true, but since they're greedy selfish little fucks, they want more. Their citizens have a culture that promotes greed that was developed during the famines they had, but they never got rid of it. All of them could've dramatically increased their economy further if they just worked together, but the Big Three hate eachother. Like they're situated right next door, to where a trade route could've been made where they ALL would've benefitted and surpassed America, but because of their grudges, that isn't the case.
Our country is kind of the opposite since Ho Chi Minh taught us to not hold grudges. That's probably why I'm starting to see more videos about Vietnam's growth since it correlates with all our economic partnerships.
>What's you're Geopolitical relationship with the rest of East Asia anyways? Does East Asia have NATO-like alliance, or is it just a bunch of countries just by themselves? 
There's no NATO-style alliance in East Asia; mostly bilateral security ties, strategic partnerships, and independent defense policies.
However we do have a regional intergovernmental organization called ASEAN that helps with political and economic cooperation and regional stability among SEA countries.
>And is Veitnam friendly with Russia?
Yes, especially in defense, but we avoid overdependence on them because we want strategic autonomy on our foreign policies. If you wanna ask the people however, we would be on the side of Ukraine on the war like with Palestine. The Soviets literally abandoned us back then because we "weren't communist enough" geg, Ho only used communism to help his people.
