The "Malacca dilemma": the fear that accelerated China’s energy revolution
Hu Jintao, former president of China, warned in 2003 about the risk of controlling the Malacca Strait for China’s energy supply. This strait, vital for global trade, handles 22–25% of worldwide maritime traffic. China relies heavily on this passage for its oil imports, making it a weak point in the event of conflict. To diversify its energy mix and strengthen its security, China has developed strategic oil reserves, increased nuclear energy, and promoted electric vehicles.
