Not sure Russia, Iran, or the Saudis give a shit about Taiwan.

China only loses its oil shipments if it can't secure shipping through the Indian ocean or build an overland alternative. It won't make a move until those are complete.

How does it even get to the Indian ocean? Will Indonesia let china-bound oil tankers through? Will Chinese oil tankers need to go around Australia to get to Iran or Saudi Arabia?
