Indeed there will be pushing and shoving, but the nations are getting ready not to be pushed too far.

This is true, but I think the scale of Chinese assertiveness and the degree of threat posed by China to anyone is often substantially exaggerated.

also the manner in which Philippines took the US help and allowing the US troops to 'rotate' US troops being stationed in the Subic Bay base (from where they forced the US to quit) is indicative of the 'concerns' these nations have towards the Chinese moves.

There are no US troops stationed at Subic, not any publicly announced plans to station any there. Stepped up port calls are expected.

What makes the Nations wary is that China has scant regards for what the world order feels. They do exactly what they want and that to many is scary!

That sounds like they're emulating the US!
