Category: GLOBAL GOVERNMENT & ALLIANCES
Summary:
Ongoing negotiations to secure international shipping through the Strait of Hormuz are impacting China’s export sector and testing Beijing’s role as a regional mediator. The Chinese Communist Party has maintained communications with Iran concerning maritime security and energy supply, focusing on access to the strategic waterway. The Strait of Hormuz is a crucial chokepoint for global oil and gas shipments, with about 90 percent of China’s oil imports passing through it, according to U.S. President Donald Trump. Blocked shipping lanes have disrupted China’s exporters while efforts by Iran and the U.S. have sidelined China’s mediation attempts.

"The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes."

Prophetic Trend:
Control of key trade chokepoints is driving shifting alliances and exposing limits of great-power mediation in an increasingly unstable global order.
