It is generally believed that most of these straits are controlled by the United States. The US Navy controls these sea throats with superior strength, which is equivalent to controlling the global sea routes, thus mastering the sea power.
Oriental Daily believes that with the excavation of Kela Canal and Nicaragua Canal, the weight of China's sea power has risen sharply, especially the influence of Kela Canal on China's strategic deployment is much more important than Nicaragua Canal.
Because once there is the Kela Canal, the island chain blockade of China by the United States will exist in name only, China warships and merchant ships can freely enter and leave the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and Singapore will lose its most important port advantage and its importance as a strategic pawn of the United States will be greatly weakened.
Extended data:
Zhuang, a scholar of Xiamen University, told the Global Times on June 5438+09 that only one Malacca Strait can no longer meet the trend that the world economic center is gradually tilting towards East Asia, and adding a Kela Canal is beneficial to the economic development of East Asia.
Zhuang said, "Now some voices say that' China is keen to dig the Kela Canal to contain the Malacca Strait controlled by the United States and New Zealand, so as to enhance China's strategic position'". It seems that digging the Kela Canal is just China's unilateral "one-sided enthusiasm".
This may be hype with ulterior motives. The economic value of Kela Canal exists, benefiting not only China, but also many countries in East Asia.
