Coming from Reuters I take that news with a huge mountain of salt, in fact its the reversed. Yes all countries are affected but China are prepared and is able to insulated themselves from this conflict. Why the confidence? Just look at the Chinese EV sales here in the Philippine, BYD TANG had a 3 month waitlist, SEALION 6 and SEAGULL 21/2 MONTHS. And we didn't count the battery, solar panel, wind mill and other high tech export all dominated by the Chinese The demand are there as necessity dictates a change of policy to adopt to renewable source of energy as a way to compensate the impending oil shortage.

I don’t understand how you’ve become this dense. The popcorn that comes out of your brain and onto your keyboard now triggers nothing but LOL-emoji reactions.
Do you even know how long it takes for ships traveling from the Straits of Hormuz to reach ports in China? Based on all publicly available and verifiable data, it’s between 20 and 30 days. The attack against Iran occurred back on February 28, 2026. At that time, ships already outbound or bound for various Chinese ports were ALREADY on route, and those already loaded simply continued to receive and deliver their respective cargoes.
As a matter of fact, a number of ships that left Iran or the Straits of Hormuz after the strike are not even destined to arrive in China until the beginning of May!! So how exactly is China “already being affected” by import constraints when your claims rest on nothing but assumptive and cherry-picked data?
I wish you’d actually improve your basic understanding of these things instead of acting like a PANICAN — a word coined by your own American superhero.

Edmonton/Hardisty to Mexico is *checks notes* largely flat plains whereas Iran to China is *checks note* highly mountainous. Let alone different rail width. No difference at all. For all your talk about 'real things' you sure love to ignore the difference in gradient of track and geography.
CPKC rail section in Mexico is highly mountainous, steep elevations and frequent tunneling. Where this rail terminates on the Pacific is a steep decline.

Iran to China is not highly mountainous. There are some portions of mountains but most of it is flat on the Tarim/Junggar Basins and Central Asian Steppe (where you already have existing rail lines).

I think you are erroneously imagining a straight line from Isfahan to Beijing with Kunlun, Tian Shan and Himalayan mountains in between, whereas a route through Kazakhstan can easily avoid most mountains. Much of Iran is not as rugged as Mexico either. Mexican highlands topography is highly erratic.

Lieutenant General
Ian Bremmer recently interviewed Rahm Emmanuel. In context with Trump's forays overseas he mocked China's military experience. When you think about it, what experience does the US have? It hasn't fought a peer rival since WWII. Since then it's a push-button war where most of the time, the enemy will be beyond visual range and they're not equivalent to the what the US has in its disposal. The US has been relegated to warfare where most of the casualties they inflict are from stand-off weapons where their soldiers sit comfortably far out of harm's way only to come in when the enemy has been softened and they play clean-up. That's where most of the US's casualties happen because that's when it's man-to-man. Yeah the US has killed plenty of people since WWII. Does that equate to experience where they weren't close enough to see the enemy's face most of that time? By their accusations China has killed more people since WWII than they have. Is killing an enemy soldier beyond their capability to counter from far away any different killing anyone else?

I've watched plenty of the American military talking heads on the internet. They fear along with other veterans they've talked to about modern warfare is the advent of drone technology. Shouldn't all their experience allay those fears?
