Yup! China still relies on Middle East as a matter of fact. It is very expensive to build a pipeline from China to Africa. Not feasible at all. Also, sea transport remained the greatest risk to China.

We have to be realistic and accept the fact that people are limited to enjoying power to govern themselves. It is the same as corporate governance where laws, rules and regulation apply as long as the people remained as the corporate staff.

What if California and Florida states declare independence and the people believe that they can govern themselves? Should US allow such democracy happen? Nevertheless, every country has their own way of governing and peace is utmost important.
