China Has Built Routes to Bypass the Strait of Malacca

China has spent more than 20 years building routes to bypass the Strait of Malacca, a waterway just 1.7 miles wide at its narrowest point. 🌊 More oil passes through it than through any other route on Earth, and about three out of every four barrels of crude China imports by sea go through it. In 2026, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, and the world saw what happens when a chokepoint shuts. So how well do China's escape routes actually work?
