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.

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 am so confused about water and land. Choose better colour man!

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.

Worlds getting small to china, worst economic with poor quality 😂🤣

yes it is one of china's weakest point. Singapore and US forces are just nearby, India could easily choke off that point to prevent chinese ships to bring in fuel from the middle east and for chinese ships to export their goods. BUT china with the help of thailand is set to build an alternative route. The new route will cut across thailand in the middle. Total cost is somewhere $20-30b which china may finance the construction. China is also building a new railway that connects china to myanmmar ports and therfore bypasses the malacca strait.

China has for a decade anticipated this and have been working on a number of alternative trade routes all through countries that are either friendly or allies of China. Given China’s current monopoly over processing rare earths and US and the West dependancy on these to support their military industrial complex how sustainable is a long term war with China. In any case I suspect the war fought will be over economics, business, trade and technology. The world can now watch to see if the claims by western media that China cannot invent or innovate are true. If they are true the west has nothing to worry about. If untrue the west has already lost the economic and technology war. And countries in the global south will prefer to side with winners. A powerful China will learn from the mistakes of the US and the west and will have a deliberate policy of non interference and push for a multipolar world. (Us and western adventures in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have led to disastrous results of failed states). China will be left wing socialist not communist as they have already discarded marxists ideology on class struggle focusing on national and global development and alleviation of poverty.🤔
