On December 19, I published a post discussing the major global powers and the near-future competition between the USA and the implicit China-Russia alliance. I have mentioned the competition for the most important and very narrow straits and channels - Malacca, Panama, and Suez. On December 22, Guardian published an article on the more aggressive protection of the Malacca strait (called the South China Sea in the article) by the US Navy. Psychologically, it is obvious that aggressive behavior (e.g. barking) is a feature of weakness and fear. Stronger dogs bite first and then bark. It seems that the US is losing the strait of Malacca.
