Deploying to the Med. without the ability to control or influence either Gibraltar or the Suez seems like a good way to lose part of your fleet instantly at the beginning of hostilities - much like the fate of German naval squadrons at sea when WWI broke out?
Fair point. But even influence ops require logistics - if it were you, where would you think you'd need supply bases to maintain a naval presence in the Med. when your home port is Zhanjiang? I've never run the numbers on that kind of thing for modern ships.

Basically, what is the string of pearls required to make deploying in the Med. from China possible? Obviously you can nuclear power the biggest ships, but your escorts are going to need refueling, no? You can do that underway, but those oilers have to set out from somewhere?
