those two have direct conflict with China, so I can understand why they made their decision, but the rest of Asia who have no direct conflict with China are playing it neutral, unlike in the Europe. Even Indonesia, which has somewhat territorial dispute with China, is playing it neutral so far, and also criticize Australia nuke sub purchase.
