Hormuz and a handful of maritime straits around the world have served as the linchpin of global trade since the 16th century and have fueled geopolitical rivalries throughout history. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/22/world/hormuz-malacca-key-straits-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #yemen #houthis #redsea #us #donaldtrump #middleeast #iran #straitofhormuz #oil #saudiarabia #straitofmalacca

The Strait of Malacca is a shipping route that carries roughly 40% of global trade and around 80% of China's imported oil, and is regarded as vulnerable to disruption. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/04/28/world/asia-malacca-dilemma/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #straitofmalacca #straitofhormuz #taiwanstrait #southeastasia #china #us #iran #trade #shipping #globaleconomy

Yes, sure, #oil. But also control of #shipping #chokepoints are the strategic assets being contested.

This empire may be under American control today, but it is the product of centuries of combined Western effort, going back to the 1500s. What would happen to this vast strategic structure if there were to be a quick, worldwide transition to forms of energy that do not need to be transported across oceans? The answer is obvious: its value would be hugely diminished. China, India, Japan, and other large Asian economies would not need to worry about the Strait of Hormuz or Malacca— they would generate their power on their own soil.

... imagine if China were able to completely reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and switch to renewable energies. It would completely overturn the geopolitical order of the world today, because the geopolitics of the world really depends on the shipping of fossil fuels, you know, through these particular chokepoints. Two of the most important chokepoints are the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Malacca. And, you know, something like 40% of the world’s oil ship through these chokepoints every day. So, on controlling these chokepoints depends, actually, Western geopolitical dominance. And if fossil fuels were to be completely substituted at scale, what you would have is a complete inversion of the world’s geopolitical order.
