Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Strait of Malacca has strategic importance, too. Roughly a quarter of all oil transported by sea (more than 15 million barrels per day) passes through the straits and several countries in North East Asia, including China and Japan, rely heavily on the oil imports that pass through the straits.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Strait of Malacca was the shortest path between China and India, and thus was a frequently used trade route. In order to keep the waterway safe, local authorities under the Malacca sultanate, an independent Muslim state, oversaw and controlled traffic through the strait.
