Is this waterway Chinaโs weak spot?
The Malacca Strait is a narrow strip of water in South East Asia. It is one of the most important shipping routes in the world. But its also a source of tension in the region, and could be a weak spot for China.

To counter this India is working on Diamond ๐ Necklace ๐๐
omg
U.S. led NATO want to actually destroy their own economies and create mass economic Armageddon?
It is not a big deal as Sky News makes it. There are alternative waterways. In the current Red Sea crisis, shipping companies redirect to Cape of Good Hope, it costs higher shipping costs, but not a dooming situation.
China already prepared to build Thai Kra Canal if it happend, much shorter n faster, checkmate! ๐
ฮฮฮฮฮฮ ฮฃฮคฮกฮฮฮค !! ๐ ๐คฃ ๐ฌ๐ท ๐ฌ๐ท
Singapore Indonesia and Thailand will agree? Or the west can force them to agree? WHO is the bully
Why china cannot bully Indonesia and Malaysia. Unlike the Philippines
Wait until China claims the place as "North-West China strait"
Blue is s land ? Who made this graphic
Britain killed 4 million Indians in Bengal in 1943 by imposing a famine
$45 Trillion was taken from India by Britain over 200 years of rule
Stop poking the chinese bear. The west wont have it easy
Strong India will influence Southeast Asia and the Indo-Pacific security with Australia, Japan and Sokor. Hoping all ASEAN members will think not only the Philippines will resist the Chinese illegal expansion. They will be next marching to their doorstep.
this malacca straits isn't only use by china. this strait is key route for entire world. this straits is controlled by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. all 3 have very good relation to China. can't say the same to India, Europe, US, Japan (countries that support Israel).
I am so confused about water and land. Choose better colour man!
Western cope beyond laughable at this point lol
Russia is helping to china by laying more oil and gas pipeline to china on land
Is US copying Houthis?
remember all the countries that are the bad rogues ones are those that wont be subjugated by the usa
sounds like freedom country usa want to ban China get freedom
Except USA, no country has the intention and ability to block the Malacca strait.
About a decade ago, yes. But now, no
If US sees Taiwan as its allied, why US did not recognise Taiwan as a sovereign nation and established an embassy there?
Only a couple of small nation recognised Taiwan as a sovereign nation. None of G7 or Western countries do so.
Is it because of they fear the pressure from China? If so, why small nation such as Guatemala and Palau did not afraid of China?
China can build pipeline crossing Myanmar, already the vassal state.
I am Malaysian and I know that we and our neighbour Indonesia will not agree to any hegemonic power to block the strait. Everyone will enjoy the freedom to traverse the strait, including China.
Lol uk and their colonisation thinking ๐
Taiwan (ROC) claim exactly the same south china sea as China (PRC) lmao
it's an over exaggerated issue, China will get its way from Indonesia and its not much a distance from Malacca, also why Malayasia and Indonesia will ever allow someone to block this strait
On what grounds and authority does the US have to "close" the straits of Malacca? What an ill-informed video this is.
Why not use green for the land??
I think that's why China is building Pipelines across Middle East to Russia.
China should excavated land through Thailand to connect Indian Ocean and China Ocean without going through Malacca Strait !!!!!
If the west blocked Malaca
Indonesia can open Sunda & Bali Strait
Malacca strait is not really the Achilles' heel of China, Indonesian water is.
That's why they poured a lot of money into our economy.
South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia account for 80% of China investment in the region.
The Malacca Straits is a far more bigger problem for US allies. South Korea, Japan, Taiwan are totally dependant on imported energy and trade, far more than China.
China is much more likely to block the Straits and can do so without using ships or submarines. The Andamans and the Malacca Straits is within China A2AD range. Satellites these days can track anything on the surface.
It would be pretty dumb for India to get involved in some blockade when these Andaman bases are within PLA missile range.
And it is ridiculous to think that China is surrounding India. Just look at the map of India. Even if China established bases in Sri Lanka and the Maldives, that would possibly cover only less than 10% of India's access to the Indian Ocean.
Idiotic theory.
The U.S. has over 750 Overseas Military Bases around the World , with 313 Military Bases surrounding China w/
Warships & Missiles . China should be scared of the threats from the US and its allies .
why can the west have naval bases in far far places but china cant?
No it is not malaka will be china s road to the world
This will be included in the new 1000 dash line china is developing.
The Malacca strait is a temporary problem. China is building out solar/wind at break neck speed. In addition CHina has also dramatically increased its oil import from Russia. And can increase its gas imports from Russia as well.
I thought freedom of navigation was universal. Why pinpoint only China?This is plain anti China propaganda. ๐ฎ๐ฎ
Laughable ๐๐๐Mallaca strait is NOT US TERRITORY,get it clear FAKE SKY NEWS๐๐๐
PLA is capable of knocking US army teeth again and again ๐
Not only China is using that sea street. Now, Singapore is begging China for more trade as Australia also does. Sinofobi video.
Sky News is a Ausie propaganda Chanel .A mouth piece for the white house misinformation fake news media
Videos like this actually inspired the Houthis to blockade the Red Sea. and it is not China but Europe that is suffering
