    The only reason China is a world power is that the US Navy allows the oil China needs to pass through the Strait of Malacca. Do you disagree?
    I didn’t know that Malacca was part of the United States. So who gave the US authority for who to pass over that straits? You’ve the audacity to phrase the question as if is within their jurisdiction to do so. That only shows the one asking the
    question is such an American stooge dog to assume that it has control of that like they think they have control over everywhere else.

    Fuck off from your high horse.

    The USA has ABSOLUTELY NO POWER WHATSOEVER over the Strait of Malacca. None. The Strait is 38 km wide at its narrowest point. It's not a Canal like Suez or Panama.

    And no odd would give a flying fuck if the USA said they wouldn't allow anything through there. They have no jurisdiction. And if it came to a war, China could block that Strait easily and the USA wouldn't be allowed through anymore.

    Besides, even if the Strait were blocked, going around isn't such a huge deal by the way. Going around Sumatra and Java wouldn't take that much longer. It's not like blocking the Suez and going around Africa. The day would be 2 or 3 days at most.
