🇨🇳 China has 70% more crude oil in reserve than the United States... That's not an accident China's total crude inventories: 1,397 million barrels. U.S. total crude inventories: 825 million barrels. The structural difference is the real story. America's 411 million barrels of commercial inventory are privately held and operate independently from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. China's 1,038 million barrels of "commercial" inventory are held by state-owned national oil companies, meaning Beijing effectively controls the entire stockpile. Add it up: the Chinese government has direct or indirect command over nearly 1.4 billion barrels of oil. The U.S. government controls 413 million. Now the timeline makes sense. Hormuz has been blocked since late February. Iranian oil shipments to China have slowed but not stopped. And Beijing has shown zero panic the entire war. That's because Beijing didn't react to this crisis. It spent a decade preparing for it. The only question now is how long 1.4 billion barrels last. And what Beijing does when the cushion runs thin. @jackprandelli
