The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization

by Peter Zeihan

Perhaps the biggest problem for the Chinese will be . . . the Japanese. China’s navy is coastal and near coastal, with only about 10 percent of its surface combatants capable of sailing more than 1,000 miles from shore. Very few can sail more than 2,000 miles. China has no real allies (except maybe North Korea), so projecting power . . . anywhere is a hilarious impossibility. Japan, in contrast, has a navy fully capable of sailing—and fighting—a continent or two away. Should push come to shove, the Japanese can simply dispatch a small task force past Singapore into the Indian Ocean and shut down Chinese resource inflows—and with them, shut down China—remotely.
