China with the help of Russia has just bypassed both Malacca Strait and the Suez Canal: https://gcaptain.com/chinese-containership-istanbul-bridge-reaches-uk-via-arctic-route-in-record-20-days/

>Istanbul Bridge
What a stupid name.

>>518868067 (OP)
Thanks to China, I was able to buy an RTX 5090 for half the price it costs in the US. So it's mutual assistance. We are like Olivier salad and mayonnaise. The perfect symbiosis.

Ok so??????

>>518868216
they can skip Suez Canal/Israel. only need Russia's permission

>>518868161
you no rike grorious china ship?? i ban you!!

You're right. Constantinople sounds better. You guys could relinquish that city on the Bosphorous that you stole and return it to the Orthodox Christians and the name changed back to Constantinople.

How does the 20 days compare to the other routes? Will they be able to send my silicone sexdoll faster?

>20 days on chinese ship
Imagine the smell

>>518868216
The US Navy can no longer blockade the Suez Canal and the Malacca Strait to prevent China from trading with Europe anymore. This was the US main trump card all these decades, and now It's gone thanks to Russia.

>>518868206
it's a fun little detour, they'll do it next time if we're not careful.

>>518870356
>Chinese containership Istanbul Bridge is scheduled to arrive at the UK’s largest terminal Felixstowe during the afternoon of October 13. The Panamax vessel completed the 7,500 nautical mile voyage from China via the Arctic Northern Sea Route in just 20 days. A comparable voyage through the Suez Canal measures 11,000 nautical miles and routinely takes between 40-50 days.
Yeah

>>518869946
How is the arctic route shorter? I can see it taking less time because of less traffic and queues but line go long.

>>518870199
I am not upset at all. I grew up there, and i always thought istanbul was a stupid name, even when i was a kid.

>>518869714
And South Korea and Japan based on that map.

>>518870769
You see a map is trying to project a sphere onto a rectangle, it gets distorted, how depends on the projection of course.
Try drawing the line on a globe, it's not at all far compared to the alternative routes.

>>518870769
the map is lying to you. The Netherlands is 2x as big as China.

It's literally over for mutts, the bear-dragon alliance is too strong

>>518871290
US vessels could use it too from the west coast or via Panama Canal from east coast, but they would still need Russia's permission

>>518870844

How much are the state sponsored Turkish whorehouses in Istanbul? I heard the prostitutes are really expensive there.

>>518870769
Because of the Mercator projection. Earth IRL is a sphere

>>518871430
The US would need a lot more nuclear Ice Breakers in order to open a way for the ships which the US doesn't have that many compared with Russia. Currently only Russia has enough of them to keep the passage way open since they have lots of icebreakers that can take turns

>>518871430
There's literally a better route over Canada instead of Russia. They did this for political reasons, not because it's the bestest.
>>518872180
Icebreakers can't keep the route open in winter, either. Navigating arctic waters as a one-off in the warm months is a complete nothing burger. The reason that these routes aren't used more heavily is that they're seasonal and depend heavily on unpredictable weather factors. It's easier to just pay the Suez toll and transit through warm waters.

These routes may become more viable in the future as the climate shifts but they are not there yet. China's just trying to flex their alliance with Russia as US trade talks stall. They're obsessed over trying to produce a Sputnik moment

>>518872035
Malaka!

>>518869714
why would anyone need russias permission to sail through international waters?

>>518872526
There isn't any route over canada

>>518871430
>but they would still need Russia's permission
where the fuck are you getting this from?

>>518871759

I checked with Google. Actually it's thwt Turkiye has brothels that are regulated. Looks like you guys still have modern day sex slaves in your country. Apparently somethings don't change.

If Turkiye has some of the highest slave practices today, then why are Europeans letting then into their countries?

>>518870192
Looks like it took 19 seconds, not 20 days.

>>518868067 (OP)
I Love China

>>518873038
You're right. The Northwest Passage still contains much sea ice.

>>518872946
Meanwhile if you dont pay off the english lord who owns Lloyds of Lodon by buying fake insurance NATO can sieze your ships.

>>518868206
wtf how

>>518872526
Every word you said was a lie, retard leaf.

Slaghuthr anti-chinsese!

Their B.C. Rich guitars were pretty good.

This is why America needs to own Greenland

The end of US hegemony. But they wouldn't stand this. If they can't hold everyone hostage with straits, they'll just fuck up Europe itself, as main market for China. Hence instigation of war with Russia.

They prefer the finnic russkies. They like to eat them alive.

I recently explained to a German migrant that's lived here since he was a baby that the Holocaust could not possibly have happened with math and science and the Jewish official census and he made weird grunting noises and blocked me

>>518877689
Dont be an idiot.
Look at it on a globe

>>518872035
It also bypasses the toll cost and time delay that the Suez Canal introduces to the route. So aside from it being fewer miles, you also have less queue time and lower expenses.

>>518877786
The earth is obviously flat. Are there seriously globetards on /pol/?

You are only thinking about the time, but you should be thinking about the cost. Egypt could no longer charge crossing fees for the Suez transfer.

>with the help of Russia
You don't need russia for anything sailing that route. It's all in the weather which is harsher than the other route.

>>518877893
Part of the reason China actually wants global warming and only pretends to be working on cutting pollution is to open up the northern oceans.

why wasn't this done decades ago?

>>518879322
Ice
Global warming is real and I can feel it firsthand down here, every summer is getting warmer and it hasn't snowed in ages
One of the benefits of us getting scorched down here is Russia and Canada unlocking North Sea shipping routes.

>>518877824
You cant use it in winters

>>518878857
>pretends to be working on cutting pollution
Photovoltaics have become ten times cheaper and twice as efficient as 30 years ago thanks to Chinese material research. Not to mention how they install more photovoltaic, wind and hydroelectric power than the entire planet every year just by themselves, and they're the only ones reviving liquid salt fission power. If they're "pretending" then nobody in the planet is doing shit.

>>518868067 (OP)
I hope they begin making use of this route in earnest. Shitskin toll nogs will seethe

>>518879622
There is more ice in northern waters than there has been in years, climate retard.

If you want to believe their propaganda, go ahead.
I'm aware they throw thousands of solar panels on a mountainside for photoshoots, but they aren't hooked up to anything and get left to rot. Wind is also a joke. I'll be honest though, I don't know anything about their hydroelectric, other than they don't give a fuck how it impacts the environment or people when they build dams.
And I know they build more coal plants per year than anywhere else while telling the world they have a "plan" to go green.
But go on, shill to me how they're living in the future.

Neat.

>>518879727
Russia is heavily investing on nuclear icebreakers for this very reason retard

>>518879322
Global temperatures rising, and now Russia has a huge fleet of nuclear icebreakers ready to go and keep the rout open all year

>>518872946
Because only Russia has enough nuclear icebreakers to make a pathway for ships to cross 365 days a year

>>518870568
Yes but then it can just block off the bearing straight

>>518872946
because the route runs through their territorial waters. so whatever they say goes. keep seething Nigel

>>518872526
keep seething. Canada's route is shallow and ships run aground there all the time. plus the ice there doesnt seem to melt as fast as in Russia. there will never be a Canadian route...

>>518870769
It makes sense on a flat earth map

>>518870568
We need to buy Kamchatka so we control the Bering Strait.

>>518872946
Because they sail along the coast where there isn’t ice

>>518870662
That ship went on max speed. Normal container ships go as slow as they can go without damaging the engines. You save more than 30% fuel cost by going slow.

Wasn't this the whole goal of greater Israel?

How will Jews stop this?

>>518872035
So...time to buy up prime real estate on the Bering Strait?

>>518875789
Have you been in a coma or something? This is the pre-war China.

>>518886410
Its cold as fuck for most people. Cruise ships would never venture up there.

Unless you want to invest in a glorified 711 for ships.
