China now has alternatives to the Straits of Malacca. The Belt and Road is one alternative to the Straits of Malacca. The Iran China rail link is another that could provide China with energy needs when the shit hits the fan. Moreover, Russian energy is providing China with some semblance of reliability if energy from Middle East is cut off with blockades of the Straits of Malacca. There are other areas that China is working on to be self-dependent from fossil fuel in time to come. China is building a big number of nuclear power stations, dams, solar farms and wind farms as well.
China's South America trade is moving away from using the Panama Canal, with plans to build an alternative across Nicaragua. Moreover, there is now a port in South America, the Port of Chancay in Peru, developed jointly by China and Peruvian company Volcan, which will serve Chinese ships calling in South America.

If Iran has hypersonic missiles, I will not rule out the Houthis having them as well, sooner or later. And that is going the change the destiny of USA aircraft carriers lurking around the Gulf region.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the USA, had tried to intervene and control the Yemen leadership which led to the conflict erupting in 2015 between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, lasting more than ten years, with Iran backing the Houthis in Yemen. After the peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia, brokered by Wang Yi, the situation de-escalated somewhat, but with the Gaza issue and the intervention of the USA in the Middle East, it flared up again with the Houthis resuming hostilities around the Gulf region.
Two cargo vessels have been struck and sunk by the Houthis in recent days, and shipping around the Gulf is facing real issues. One vessel was carrying cargoes destined for Israel. Would the USA now be about to send more aircraft carriers to the region in a show of strength as in the past? I think they have much to think about, after looking at what happened to Israeli cities hit by suspected hypersonic missiles fired by Iran. Is history in the making of the sinking of a USA aircraft carrier sooner or later?
For so long, the Arabs were being made by the Americans and Israelis to fight and kill each other. Now there is peace among the Arab and Muslim nations, and they can now fight against their common enemies, the Americans and the Israelis.
The Arabs and Muslims are not stupid. On the surface, those under the control of the Americans and Israelis have to pretend to be against Iran. But under the table, they are united and know who are their real enemies. They are fully behind Iran and cheering when Iran and Houthis hit Israel or when Houthis hit American warships.
Cheerleaders are just cheerleaders. They do nothing to improve the game.
The most disgusting thing is that such Arab and Muslim cheerleaders even allow their country to be used to launch attacks against Iran, with even using their airspace and refueling facilities. Jordan even helped the Israelis to shoot down Iranian missiles bound for Israel. Iran knows that and the West is even highlighting harping about that to foster distrust among Arab and Muslim states. How stupid or not stupid is that?
Brian Berl etic on his site 'The New Atlas' already pointed out that the USA has the most dangerous weapon, its propaganda machine, that has a worldwide reach. Unless the world wises up to what is propaganda and what is the truth, the USA will continue to control their thinking.
