New Exactly my point.
In fact China wants to cut a Strait across Isthmus of Kra, They want to pay for it...

I mean really, the stuff going through that Strait, is on mainly Persian to East Asian destinations and from East Asia to Persian/African destinations.

China would be cutting its own throat. People would just go around the strait and many do already. It adds distance... but whatever.
