China is already dominating the maritime trade, US sanctions China over Huawei, EVs..., China's maritime global domination is much bigger than Huawei and EVs, why stops US from doing anything to cut China's this global domination?
Peacetime domination of trade has nothing to do with wartime disruption of supply lines. Look at Yemen and Houthis. They are ... well... no one. And yet they made life hell for Israeli, British and American container ships with just few low tech drones and explosives. Because of their strategic location. And they are not fully trying as well.

Geography matters a lot.

That's why I say you are talking about your fantasy, it never happened even when China and US were the worst enemies during the Korean war. and now China is fast becoming the world leading naval power, the chance for that to happen in the future becomes even less likely after US is retreating from all fronts of the world.
By the way, no countries block Indian sea lanes, why India doesn't have any big ports globallly? it's almost like India being blocked as always.

During Korean war you were nobody and more importantly, India had nothing on line.

No matter how many ships you build, it will not do any good. You can build a million or a billion aircraft carriers yet when it will come to keep them supplied over that long of a distance, you will be helpless. And then you will have to incur the cost of keeping supplies lines open over long time.

India does not have big ports because its trade is minimal. Why build ports when you have nothing to trade?

As and when Indian trade will expand, it will build more ports. Its happening already. Adani is building a big port in Gujarat.

See, it's all about trade and economy, so your fantasy doesn't work in real life.

India and US CAN indeed block China's sea lanes and it has more to do with geography and nothing to do with navy. No amount of navy can fix a geographical reality. India can deploy mobile area denial missiles on Andoman and Nicobar islands and there is nothing Chinese navy can do about it. Those missiles can blockade shipping traffic. To make things more fun, India can deploy mines. You can keep as much of navy as you want, it will be useless.
Lol, China can bomb New Delhi and Mumbai at will due to their geographies and there nothing you can do about them. Don't you Indians talk big all the time of your navy blocking Chinese sea lanes in Indian Ocean and the Malacca strait, try it see what happens.

India can also bomb all of the Tier-1 cities in China. Given China is more developed, it has more to lose in those cities.

I mean, India has no chance of becoming a real developed country but China does. India can ensure China will completely lose that chance.

China has hundred of DF-21, DF-26, YF-17, etc.

DF-26 is called Guam Killer, it can reach Guam, leave alone Phillipines, Taiwan, SK or Japan.

US' Navy will think twice to enter west Pacific arena when war happen considering China's AShBM.

China does not have enough missiles to hit every point in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan

As I said, trade and economy and war are two different things. You can be really really rich with business all over the world but a begger with a gun in the street can still blow your head.

Lol, do you have any strategic bombers ? Don't just talk with your big mouth if you have no capability. China has more than 230 strategic bombers.
