Hormuz today, Malacca tomorrow? US choke point strategy targets China

by

🗣️The US is shifting to a full “global maritime blockade strategy,” Chinese policy adviser Gu Dingguo tells SCMP.

🔸After observing Iran’s leverage over Hormuz, the US will next target the Strait of Malacca — through which 80% of China’s oil and 90% of its sea trade flows.

🔸Recent US-Indonesia defense pacts, overflight rights talks, and deals with Malaysia are clear signals.

🔸Gu calls Hormuz, Malacca, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea high-risk zones for Beijing, as the US’s real and unchanging priority remains containing China and Russia at sea.

🔸The Hormuz crisis is not just about Iran. It’s a laboratory for how America plans to strangle China’s economic lifelines.
