Please do
Ok requested it.
China has 3 different routes for its energy needs at its disposal.
1. One through the Malacca straights to reach middleeast
2. Energy partnership with Russia thereby 68 billion cubic metres of gas and 300 million tons of crude oil from Siberia.
3. Gwadar port through Pakistan through Karakoram highway.
and maybe
4. Land route through Myanmar
China maybe has legitimate needs with securing 3 and 4 as Karakoram passes through Gilgit.
But again India needs to watch out and build herself .
Agree so far however China is now trying to bypass the Malacca Straits with Gwadar and the Karakoram highway however the current WOT and other problems slowing this down but it will be needed.
And I agree with 4 as well through Myanmar.
Also China has been looking into the Arctic route as well.
