China is building a port in malacca so that its ships will bypass Singapore.  As 70-80% of ships passing through straits of malacca come from China, this will badly affect Singapore port and our port volumes will decline significantly.  This is the price we have to pay for being too close with USA and giving USA the right to berth its naval ships and P8A spy plane in SG.

China also has a port and oil pipeline in Myanmar so that its imported crude oil can bypass straits of malacca which can be under the control of USA through SG during war time.

This one belt one road economic plan which consists of railway will help china to bypass SG port because it can download all goods in malacca and transport them to China by railway.

No wonder we have lost our world busiest port status and we will lose more in the future when malacca port is up and running.
