Hormuz 2.0: China’s coming chokepoint strategy in the Taiwan Strait

China's strategy in the Taiwan Strait mirrors Iran's "Hormuz 2.0" tactic, where military pressure aims to gain concessions without outright conflict. This approach, if successful, could enable China to achieve its objectives with minimal military confrontation, similar to Iran's post-2026 ceasefire. The implications are significant, as it suggests a new, potentially dangerous, geopolitical playbook that could destabilize regional security if other nations follow suit. This shift underscores the importance of maintaining strong military and diplomatic alliances to counter such strategies.
