Xi Jinping's wicked plan: QUAD worried about choke points in the Indo-Pacific

QUAD summit in Tokyo on May 24; China's strategy to create choke points in the Indo-Pacific key concern. Choke-points in North, South America - China & state firms' foothold in Panama, Port of Ushuaia. Chinese presence in Malaysia & Indonesia, the countries bisected by the key Malacca Straits. A daunting pacific picture for security planners when China's pact with Solomon Islands added to the list. Quite a similar situation in the Indian Ocean - Chinese bases in Sri Lanka, Pakistan & Djibouti.
