Malacca .. shalaka.. is not and never will be an alternative to sea trade.. Just look at the damned terrain of the Karakoram range and how far it is from China's economic heart on its eastern sea board ... The costs are prohibitiveThere is a larger geopolitical game brewing here. But the game doesn't predate the attack, rather, it is counting on India's retaliation to the attack. Remember, China has the BRO projects running through PoK that give China an alternative land route to a port (Karachi) in the event that the Strait of Malacca is blocked. Shutting down that major logistical pathway can pay massive strategic dividends to the US in a confrontation with China, which btw, is also brewing.
China certainly knows this, but in the current geopolitical climate, it is choosing to consolidate its economic interests rather than protect a Plan B.
It is just some sh*t cooked up by 56d armchair geo strategists
The only thing that will make China a true superpower is it taking Taiwan, and dominating the First Island chain, which can be currently used to choke the chinese economy..by the US and Japanese navies..
