Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia share a coastline with the South China Sea, making them key maritime nations in the region. Vietnam has a long eastern coastline, the Philippines, an archipelagic country, has numerous islands within the sea, and Indonesia's Natuna Islands are also located in its waters. However, Cambodia does not border the South China Sea, as its coastline lies along the Gulf of Thailand, not the South China Sea.
