preface
From ancient times to the present, the ocean has been a battleground for various countries and regions.
For countries, the ocean is extremely valuable and an indispensable natural resource for human development.
Not only that, but sea freight is also one of the most important ways in trade export and international exchanges.
It is precisely because of this that almost every country wants to strive for more sovereignty over maritime territories, and once it gains sovereignty, it means that it has grasped the initiative to a certain extent.
In order to better develop, the mainland has reached cooperation with Malaysia in the construction of ports, and in order to better promote the project, the mainland has spent 80 billion yuan.
However, this cooperation between the two countries has attracted the dissatisfaction of many countries, and they even did not hesitate to spread rumors in order to prevent the project from moving forward.
China has spent a lot of money to reach cooperation with Malaysia
The Strait of Malacca, located between the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian island of Sumatra, occupies an important position in the international community.
It is 1,080 kilometers long, 370 kilometers at its widest point and 37 kilometers at its narrowest point, and the current management of this strait is jointly owned by Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
However, this strait is not only geographically advantageous, but more importantly, it has an important impact on the trade export of many countries.
The continent is one of them.
As we all know, the population of the continent is among the highest in the world, and the huge population is also among the top in the world in terms of energy consumption.
However, the mainland's current oil output cannot meet the demand, so for many countries in the world, the mainland is a huge energy transmission market.
In the import process, most of the countries are across the sea from the mainland, and almost all of them need to pass through one place during the transportation process, that is, the Strait of Malacca.
It is precisely because of this that even though the Strait of Malacca is not very close to the mainland, it is extremely important to us.
According to relevant information, the Strait of Malacca has been navigable for thousands of years and is an important passage between the Pacific Ocean and the India Ocean.
Not only for the mainland, but also on an international scale, this Strait of Malacca is of great significance.
The Strait of Malacca has played a huge role in the export of trade and has played a key role in the development of the international economy.
However, for a long time before, many people were worried about the Strait of Malacca.
Although on the surface sovereignty of the Strait of Malacca is in the hands of three countries including Singapore, in fact, it is the United States that really has the right to speak behind it.
And United States has always been a well-known "hegemon" in the international community, and if it is not careful, some countries will not be able to enjoy their due rights.
And this is also a huge potential threat to the mainland, once we do not have the right to pass through the Strait of Malacca, it will have an impact in many ways.
In order to develop better in the future and to be able to seize the initiative, the mainland tried to reach cooperation with Malaysia.
The mainland is the country that proposed the Belt and Road Initiative, and in recent years, more and more countries have participated, and the development of the Belt and Road Initiative has gradually diversified.
In order to grasp a certain initiative in the Strait of Malacca, the mainland has joined part of the Belt and Road Initiative and reached a consensus with Malaysia.
This partnership is also known as Huangjing Port, a port located in the "heart" of the Straits of Malacca.
At the time of its proposal, there was great expectation that it would be one of the world's most important sea lanes.
However, this decision to cooperate has already caused dissatisfaction in some countries.
Sino-Malaysian cooperation, United States is dissatisfied
In November 2006, PowerChina announced that it would undertake the construction of the Huangjing Port Deepwater Port project in the Strait of Malacca between China and Malaysia, with a total investment of 66.4 billion yuan.
The mainland is known as an "infrastructure madman", and for many countries, no matter what kind of infrastructure China makes, it seems to be expected.
However, this time it is not an ordinary multinational infrastructure project, and for China and Malaysia, the project is of particular significance.
For many countries in the world, once this project is completed, it will also improve their economic development to a certain extent.
However, for Singapore, the implementation of this project has brought them a huge crisis.
Singapore also occupies a part of the sovereignty of the Strait of Malacca, and it stands to reason that if the project is completed, it will also be a good thing for them.
But why did Singapore's prime minister rush to send an envoy to China after the official announcement?
In fact, this is related to Singapore's long-standing national trade.
We all know that Singapore is a famous international trading country, and international trade accounts for a large part of Singapore's economy.
At the same time, Singapore is also a famous "maritime country", with unique geographical advantages.
This advantage has brought great convenience to the city-state, which has gradually developed in a short period of time since the founding of the state.
Huangjing Port is located between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, more than 140 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur and more than 150 kilometers from Singapore.
Although this place is not a deep-water area and cannot be compared with the port area of Singapore before it was built, once built, it will become the largest port in the Straits of Malacca.
This has created a huge crisis for Singapore, and Singapore can no longer contain our trade as before.
Internationally, the Port of Singapore is a famous port, and most of the maritime trade passes through this place.
Because of this, Singapore sometimes blocks international trade in this place in an attempt to increase costs.
If the port of Huangjing is completed, it will take away a part of the trade transiting through the port of Singapore, which will also have a certain impact on their economy.
Not only Singapore, but also United States, does not want to see the completion of Huangjing Port.
As a world power, the United States maintains a leading position in many fields, because of its strong strength, it is mostly "hegemonic" in the international community.
However, in recent years, China has continued to develop and gradually has a voice in the international community.
Economically, China has also shown strong strength, and at the same time, it has also allowed countries around the world to see China's development potential.
China's rapid rise has given United States a great sense of crisis, and they have tried to hinder China's development in many areas.
In this case, they are naturally reluctant to see the landing of Huangjing Port.
epilogue
For us, Huangjing Port is of great significance, once completed, it will not only have a significant impact on the mainland, but also bring a lot of convenience to other countries.
We are not afraid of the twists and turns in the implementation of a project, we just hope that there will be a good result in the end.
As a major country in the world, the mainland has always hoped to be able to recommend the common development of the world economy.
We also hope that more and more countries can join us in promoting the great development of the world economy and promoting human progress.
The Paper reported on August 4 that "the US media hyped China and Malaysia to jointly build Huangjing and Hong Kong to rival Singapore, and the new media followed the nervous tension".
