Melaca strait China's vulnerability? Is it true or Myth?

[Hendarto]

Western media, analysts love to talk about the Chinese dilemma of the Malacca Strait. Indian bloggers love to regurgitate this myth. But is it really that bad Eurasia dispel this myth

We examine the impact on the Chinese war economy from a US naval blockade of the Strait of Malacca, and how China might respond to mitigate the impact.Want to support the channel? - / eurasianavalinsight

Listen carefully , if there ever is a war between US and China it will morph into war of civilizations .. ....when push comes to shove all the countries of east Asia including Japan , south Korea and Singapore will either side with China or stay neutral .....Malacca strait is your back yard don't worry about it ....... China shall focus all it's energy on Islamic countries , try to win them over to your side .....

China’s woes here is that it does not have easy alternatives to Malacca. The nearby Sunda Strait (adjoining Indonesia) is difficult to navigate due to a strong tidal current and a minimum depth of only 20 meters in parts of its northeastern end.

The Lombok/Makassar Strait in the region is a longer route, which can increase shipping costs. That is why it is said that, for now, the Malacca Strait route remains irreplaceable for China.

Tell me about that planned blockage of China at Malacca Straits.

Will USA ships and any other blockade ships be using huge cope cages like what Ukrainian Nazis hoping to defend themselves with?

Except China not going to use drones on those ships.
What coming down will be East Winds, very very heavy East Winds
You known them better as DFs
And they coming down fast at Mach 7 to 9
Do have lots of fun being gung ho blockaders

Plus it is only 750 miles from Australia. That's about the distance from Beijing to Shanghai.

LOL! The backwards Chinese thinking just ships are involved in a 21st Century blockade.

Hey this is 2024 not 1945.

If there is a war between US and China

1.) Most Asian country will not side with China, they are either going to stay neutral or overtly/covertly on the US side. US has a lot of hold to many Asian allies. For example, cutting Singapore off they may as well surrender to anyone that fancy to attack them. Same goes South Koree, Japan and Philippine, the best China can hope for is for them to stay neutral, they will probably never be going to be on China side.

2.) China don't have enough naval asset to secure Malacca Strait, which is about 1500 mile from Hainan.

3.) If US is really at war with China, then Malacca strait is probably the last thing China have to worry about.

China would have free reign to pass through Malacca straight as Indonesia would never try to stop PLAAN.

Singapore is too tiny and irrelevant.

As for India, PLA has MLRS up in Tibet with the range to hit New Delhi.

China would go ham on India if it tried to interfere with PLAAN movements into the Indian Ocean Region.

Okay but what cost - losing Beijing?

Believe it - if china do silly thing and go fight with india -USA will be the most happiest country. Because they would not needed to do much damage to china.

India will not going to join war against china, until china forced india to join any other group and war

China would extirpate all of India if they dare as try to hit Beijing with a nuclear missile.

They would probably destroy specific government and military installations in Delhi and so "decapitate" your political and military centres of power.

I am not even talking about the other options like J-20s they have to make sure India regrets trying to take on China.

Now this is between grown ups China and USA and so little boys like India need not get involved.

If Japan and Korea stay neutral it's game over for US .

Hitting Delhi means losing Beijing completely... Does matter what next...

China and India may will end by loosing their most of the populated cities and loosing of millions of people...

India is not a popua country.

India does not need 5th generation fighter planes to hit Chinese major cities

India is not a popua country and china will hit Delhi, India will giving statements on tv.

Your last line is barely readable.

If Japan and Korea stay neutral it's game over for US .

Well, no, in fact, if they stay neutral, that's bad for China, because both countries have US base there.

So, if they stay neutral, and China reciprocate, essentially that create a safe haven very close to China for US to operate on. Unless China is willing to attack those US base in Japan and South Korea and bring them both into direct confrontation toward them.

If US and China is at war, China would need to attack those base and bring Japan and SK in, there are pretty much no other option

 

[Raj-Hindustani]

Japan will always back USA, else USA will never going to start a war.... Only possible war between USA and china if china will do something against NATO country or Taiwan issue... Phillipines having army pact with USN etc.

USA will surely not going one to one against china - they will always come with NATO if they want to fight with china
