Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun today:

    "We have trade and energy agreements with Iran. We expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

    China wades in and down it goes – “we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The strait of Hormuz is open to us”

    1. Very predictable.

      China won’t just roll over and will operate as usual, and knows the US Navy won’t attack their ships and pull China into direct confrontation. They were never going to take this blockade seriously.

    2. Already some reports out there of the US forcing a Chinese ship to turn around at 11am ET. China will do nothing.

      Now understand this: Trump blockade declaration is only to drive the news and show him as in charge for its political base. Western media will push it, however the rest of the world is not interested.

      I am sure there are still ongoing negotiations happening through back channels.

    4. I hope China uses its leverage, because it has a lot of it. Time to make the mad king kneel and grovel.
