Oil from the Middle East could also be delivered by rail at the China/Pakistan jointly developed Gwadar Port in time to come. This route will enable oil deliveries to Western China, also a much faster journey.
China has already found an alternative to avoid the Panama Canal, using the Port of Chancay in Peru for Chinese ships docking and conducting trade with South American countries like Brazil. Moreover, there are indications that China is also looking at building an alternative canal through Nicaragua. How that is progressing I am not too sure.
China and Russia are now experimenting with the Arctic route that is becoming more navigable due to climate change for trade with Europe, bypassing the Suez Canal. In any case, the Suez Canal can only function if the Houthis allow the Bab Al-Mandab Strait to be navigable. Same with the Straits of Hormuz that Iran can control for oil exiting the Persian Gulf. So, who holds the cards in the oil trade in the Middle East is subjective.
In time to come, all the blockades intended to be set up via the Straits of Malacca, Suez Canal and Panama Canal could just become White Elephants controlled by the Whites. Slowly, the horses have bolted, while the USA still thinks closing the stable doors is going to be effective. Keep dreaming.

When obstacles are erected by the USA and its allies, China finds alternatives. When obstacles are erected by the Chinese, the USA used proxies, sanctioning, gangsterism and blaming to counter China, not positively looking for alternatives itself. That says all about the differences between the USA and China in solving problems.
And that is the reason why Henry Kissinger told the world that being a friend of the USA is fatal. Allies and friends of the USA will just be roped in by coercion and used as cannon folder, like Ukraine, Japan and Philippines. The USA tasted the casualty losses in Korea and Vietnam and is now using others to fight for its interest instead.
Why did South Korea and India sabotaged China by reselling rare earth magnets to the USA and its military allies, thereby suffering the consequences themselves. Japan is being used by the USA to erect sanctions against Chinese companies and is suffering the consequences. Now, Japan is demanding hundreds of tons of rare earth magnets from China, thinking the Chinese are foolish enough to comply. Trump is also demanding that China must buy USA chips which China does not even want now. USA can demand what it wants from its doggies, but not China or Russia or even Iran or North Korea.
As during the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during WW2, the USA gloated about not suffering many casualties, when the Soviet Union lost more than 20 to 40 million, doing the heavy lifting of overcoming Hitler but denied all the merit. How many Ukrainians are now dying for the USA and its NATO allies? A victory for Ukraine is a victory to be celebrated by the USA and NATO, not the Ukrainians.
Good morning All,
When the Isthmus of Kra is POTONG, there goes our Multi Billions Touted to be the World's also Number One First Class Port.
That's 7% of our GDP!
COSCO, one of the World's Largest Merchants Shipping shall divert all or most or their ships to more friendly ports like PK etc
GDP would be more than 7% if not acted a vassal or doggie to the Americunts to contain and curb China.
Stupidity, ang moh sais, think the UAss and their lackeys, cronies, doggies Trades are more than China's passing thru here ah?
The White Barabians and Jepun and their kind are dying days by days and still balls carrying them.
Now Matland Main project ECRL via Kuantan on the toppest East Side down to Port Keland on West Side avoiding the Straits of Malacca and China's routes nearer and faster.
The next BIG One shall be the Opening of the Isthmus of Kra.
Thailand's economy is also falling and needed a boost to their renewed economy instead of just depending on their Tourism and their sale of their women's flesh for others to enjoy.
Also they are also in a way Half Chinese just like in Matland leading their businesses.
China's capabilities just take a couple of years to cut and then have the leverage to control as share holder to allow who's who's to use this facility.
So instead of the UAss holding the Upper Hand, now China is the ONE.
China then shall also station their Part Forces of Naval as well as the Land Forces as what's they doing now in Venezuela if the UASS dared to show up with their Grandma's and Grandpa's Vessels to flex their puny weak muscles.
No need all.the way South passes Sinkieland which earned much revenue for transhipments and also locally other transhipped middle men's businesses, ships bunkering and other services.
Just like silly Canada and the Netherlands obeyed their Masters and kena screwed.
Then Tuas Port could be used for more Black Pink and Swift Taylors Here to alter your pants and shirts.
Also can have Pasar Malam with hundreds of Hawkers Stalls with our own as Unis Graduates Michelin Tyres First Woes, oops World's Hawkers which Sinkies well known love of Makan Kakis and Makan Sutras.
But, but with so much RTS aka Roam The Streets where in.the World have so much monies now to enjoy this Gourmet?
Also the Rest of the World's Ang Moh Sais also walking and sleeping in their streets where got these chow kar tourists to patronise our Airports, Hotels and Casinos?
Ahem, not to worry, China's ships shall call once a while with their Swills and left over food for you and your Ang Moh kakis to eat.
Chow Ang Mohs cannot like the PRCs when they were in starvations also ate tapioca and boiled tree barks for soup.
They still clamouring for their what's burgers, steak and high class food.
Learnt lah to undergo like the Old PRCs of yore the next hundred years to eat all these stuffs to survive.
No more 300 or 400 slobs pounders that are in your Miltary and Others.
High time for Retributions!
Cheers
