By way of one tiny pipeline that has to travel across an entire continent the long way, or via boat through the suez canal?

There is oil in Sakhalin Island, new pipelines are planned and existing railways are fully capable to transport enough oil to sustain military campaign if China curtains civilian oil consumption (like every country at war did in WW2).

Frankly highlighting China dependence on maritime trade is a cope. It just won’t matter much in hot war.

Nah. Ship.
