China has money 💰, weapons 💣 and one of the largest armies in the world —
but there is one enemy China can never defeat: GEOGRAPHY.
From the First Island Chain (Taiwan, Japan, Philippines) to the South China Sea,
from the Malacca Strait chokepoint to India’s home advantage in the Indian Ocean,
China’s expansion is constantly blocked by maps, islands and narrow sea routes.
Experts even call this trap “Kaplan’s Revenge” — where geography decides power, not weapons.
Can China escape this geography trap?
Or is the map itself its biggest weakness?
👉 Watch till the end & comment your opinion.
