China is however still building road and rail conduits to southern ports via Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. In the case of Cambodia they are digging a canal in order to bypass the Vietnam controlled delta of the Mekong. China is developing multiple options for strategic trade routes, and those that are not sufficiently secure will be deprioritised. China utilises fiat money more correctly than the corrupt neoliberalised west where capital has captured governance and most fiat debt is squandered upon non productive asset price speculation as opposed to productive infrastructure and capacity. China has won the trade war and the USA is fucked without the rare earths and other strategic supply chains now controlled by China.
