However there’s one big distinction there.

Germany and Japan for all the Axis power propaganda were essentially lone rangers with no realistic allies. China has created an alliance of rogue states at vital locations, including with nuclear weapons.

Draw a line from Iran via Pakistan via Myanmar via North Korea. They seem conveniently close to China’s oil routes from the Gulf.
