“…On the other hand, as a significant part of the evolving Chinese geo-political imperative, this would help China to decelerate the perceived “Malacca Dilemma” where the Chinese leadership fears that during serious military crisis with potential adversaries US and its Asian allies, China’s growing economic activities could be choked in various choke points. Malacca is one of the key choke points under the power and influence of the US and its Asian allies that could potentially jeopardize China’s flow of goods transportation once there is a potential US stranglehold in the form of a naval blockade of China (Hornat, 2016; Mirski, 2013). It is imperative to note that the Chinese modern strategic policies for its own international orders and maritime assertions are shaped by the geostrategic challenges, the longstanding century of humiliation, the troubled history with its neighbors, the unresolved territorial disputes, and its aspiration for its own standing in the broader Asia-Pacific region (Yoshihara and Holmes, 2018).…”

“…To be cut off by an adversary when oil is needed during a war would be such a case, and China must certainly be aware that the United States has frequently targeted the oil sector of unfriendly countries to keep them in line. This strategy has also been discussed in relation to China (Mirski 2013;Cunningham 2020). Most Chinese analysts see a danger in China's dependence on the SLOCs controlled by the United States (Ross 2009;Erickson and Goldstein 2009).…”

“…Most Chinese analysts see a danger in China's dependence on the SLOCs controlled by the United States (Ross 2009;Erickson and Goldstein 2009). Dependence on oil imports could be China's Achilles' heel (Mirski 2013). China is endeavoring to shift transport routes of its oil supply away from SLOCs towards its neighbors and towards oil imported by pipeline.…”

“…Deterrence by denial is about how the United States should exercise A2/AD itself, with a view to enforcing a distant blockade against China (Heginbotham & Heim, 2015;Mirski, 2013). One prominent example of deterrence by denial is Offshore Control, a concept that seeks to minimize the probability of escalation to a nuclear conflict with China (Hammes, 2012).…”
