Well, that did not last long. This is not going to end well for Americas global inflience if they cannot project power. If China and Iran can maintain trade then Trump might as well just remove the blockade as it would just send a message to the world that China is the big dog.

Is China, the nation that Trump was supposed to reign in, going to be stronger after Trumps two terms? US enforces naval blockade on Iran as nuclear issue takes center stage
The Chinese-owned oil and chemical tanker Rich Starry successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday despite a U.S. blockade,
The Rich Starry was the first vessel to cross the strait since the U.S. imposed its blockade on Monday. The ship was initially turned back on Monday but was successful on its second attempt to cross.

Trump doesn't have a blockade. Never did.

It was coming from..not Iran. UAE or Kuwait or something. Not subject to the blockade. In fact, should be safely escorted.
Iran already attacked an oil tanker bound for China.

You were not supposed to notice that. Only Orange Man Bad is allowed.

Dude, did you not read your own link? The ship came from the UAE, not Iran

The Chinese are an especially tricky people. Read Doonsbury.

Not surprising that one got through, nor a sign of U.S. weakness.

Oops, you left out a piece of information.

The U.S. blockade only applies to vessels traveling to or from Iranian ports, and the Rich Starry was transiting the strait from the United Arab Emirates and was therefore allowed to pass.
