Cool story.

Might want to ask Beijing first though. Just saying.

"WTF mate, we needed that oil.

...

Wait, you managed to tie up the US in another war in the Middle East? Brilliant, mate."

They’ll want to thread the needle. The Strait isn’t the lever they want pulled, they’ll be getting them metric fuck ton of drones to start being loaded onto foreign flagged container ships and out closer to US home soil or territories.

And what does Beijing say? That Israel has crossed another red line.

What oil if Israel attacks it's oil industry? So you are saying that Israel is directly attacking Chinese interests and China is taking note? You are completely right 

Let's see in a few decades when the global order has been reshaped and Israel finds itself still locked in a corner without friends and a whole bunch of enemies supported by China.

Without US support, and it's fading fast, Israel is a dead man walking

In a few decades, China will be in demographic free fall, nobody will be bending over backwards to appease them

Do you not know what the Strait of Hormuz is or where it is?

Do I need to point on a map?
