Really? So you're discounting the Russian oil sales to China? And the fields in the South China Sea are of no significance? And the Iranians wouldn't even consider a WMD for oil deal with China? None of that could happen, right?
Considering that China can get to Siberia a hell of a lot easier than they can get to Taiwan, and have a long-standing claim on Siberia, yes, I am discounting that prospect.
And the fields in the South China Sea are of no significance?
After the USN visits them, yes.
And the Iranians wouldn't even consider a WMD for oil deal with China?
An oil-WMD deal between China and Iran does the Chinese no good if the oil is in Bandar Abbas, is needed in Shanghai, and has to transit a naval blockade.
None of that could happen, right?
You obviously do not play wei qi.
Also of no small note are the substantial relationships the PRC has with Pakistan and Iran. They also well engaged with the Saudis and Sudan. All for one and only one reason.
