China 120-Day Reserve Depletion
China lost 77% of its Hormuz oil flow. Strategic reserves last ~120 days (~late June 2026). But reserves are only one dimension — China signed a strategic pact with Russia and Iran on Feb 2, CIPS processed $245T in 2025 (+43%), and 11.7M barrels of Iranian crude have been settled outside the dollar since war began. China may choose confrontation BEFORE reserves deplete. The CRINK axis (China-Russia-Iran-North Korea) is formalizing.
