When I see statements like this, I try to think "what would they do in response that would change the calculus?"

E.g. cutting off oil...not like that has ever led to unexpected outcomes (perl harbor).

Countries generally react to mitigate your actions. What are some of the potential reactions you could see if the PRC perceived that as an existential threat?

Belt and Road, String of Pearls, massive build-out of anti ship missiles and navy.

And it's not enough, at least for the next ~decade. The ocean supply route is to large and too strung out for a navy lesser than the USN to defend.
