With missiles and submarines presumably.

Of course, due to China's military build up around the sea. Due to their being afraid of said blockade. The one they want Taiwan and other disputed islands to help counter.

Why block the whole thing when all shipping traffic goes through 3 chokepoints and the chinese navy is brown water at best?
Exactly. We have a westerner bragging about blocking a 5000 years old country's access to the sea like it's a normal thing and they're not the intruder. Hilarious.
What are you talking about? You think I'm a westerner bragging about blocking something that isn't even blocked and I'm an intruder?

All I said was that China is terrified of naval blockade, which it is. You're the one being hilarious here.
