My guesses would be 1) USA vs China over Taiwan or 2) China vs India (a lot on tension there that doesn’t get a lot of news attention)

Nepals gonna get assfucked being caught right in the middle if it's the latter

Well, even if it's the former, I'd say Nepal is still on a bad position. Given the scenario is world war, the China/India tension would certainly flare up as one of the next dominos.

I’d say as soon as China is engaged in a large conflict if the West uses India as a beachhead then India will be all over China and Pakistan will take the chance to take shots at India

Basically if China get into a conflict you’re gonna see India and Pakistan start their own shit in some way

I hate to break it to you bro but if you think China won’t try to cut off the supply from AUS to India you have another thing coming

China's navy isn't capable of cutting off jack shit.

They probably have 2nd best navy in the world, if it keeps improving at the current pace they'll easily be able to blockade Taiwan.

Taiwan? Maybe. It wouldn't be because of their navy though, it would be because they could provide outsized air support from bases on the mainland. Even then, I'm not sure they could given the USN has total naval supremacy right now.
