Dude, you need to up your thinking a little.
Without the link the ever expanding Chinese economy gets more and more vulnerable to US blockade.
Blockade? You mean a military blockade? US doesn't have the capacity to militarily blockade China anymore. But, for the sake of argument let's assume they did. In that case, what's stopping them from blockading Gwadar as well? Nothing, right? If they can blockade China, they sure as hell can blockade Pakistan too.
Or did you just assume America wouldn't notice that there is this other route?
This route has NO geo-strategic value. Zero. Zilch. Zip. It might have had some utility if this were 1910. Today, not so much. It's just a trade route.
