the USA and Japan would blockade their oil from the Persian Gulf through the Straits of Malacca, and their economy would soon collapse.

Everything was easier 25 years ago. Now China has more warships than the United States.

China has a large coastal fleet, but almost no deep water fleet. Not just the USA, but also Japan has them beat in that department.

I know it is hard to believe, but for the forseable future peace between the USA & China is inevitable. LOL.
