If China block ships from the area it wont be too hard to block their ships from Panama and Suez canals and deny access to Americas

Watch their economy crumble if they are prevented from selling this cheap knacks to the rest of the world.

It be a stupid move and the Chinese are far from stupid unlike the the Russians who are doing their best to tick every checkbox on a rogue criminal state chalkboard

Why would Panama or Egypt want to block China?

I think that the other guys point is that the US has enough influence in both these countries to cause them to block their canals to Chinese trade.

Would that not be against the interests of the US neoliberal elite, who in turn have enormous influence on the USG?
