China's electrification bet is paying off. Electricity now accounts for 30% of its energy consumption - around 50% higher than the US or Europe. With 1/3 of global renewable energy capacity already installed, China is structurally more insulated from rising oil prices.

Before the war: 1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does 2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not 3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will 4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities 5) Inflation was declining, now increasing Definitely winning!

A reply to my post that everyone should see…

石油危机受益者：70年代石油危机从20美金上涨120，获利的不是石油产业国，而是日本靠节油技术逆袭，成为全球汽车大国；如今中国新能源、电力革命与电芯片产业迎来机遇。核心逻辑三点：成本危机倒逼技术革命、能源替代重构产业链、海量需求驱动相关芯片突破。

India's trade deficit with China is now estimated to exceed a whopping $100 billion for the first time in the fiscal year, more than doubling since Modi assumed power in 2014, a clear trend that reveals India's growing economic dependence on China. asia.nikkei.com/economy/trade/…

Trump has lost Fox News.

"If the Middle East war lasts a decade, it will create China's greatest period of strategic opportunity...[and] would systematically drain the military, diplomatic and financial resources of the US as China’s primary strategic competitor," writes Intellisia founding director Chen Dingding, in a now-censored article. "[It would] force global capital, industry and trade routes, amid pervasive fear, to seek the 'next best option[,] China." Key points via Sinification: 1. Turmoil at sea leaves US allies—dependent on seaborne energy—vulnerable, expanding demand for alternative land routes and accelerating China’s “revival of continental power”. 2. Capital will initially flee to the US dollar, but as war drags on, it will seek new safe havens. Hong Kong has already emerged as a preferred destination for Middle Eastern money. 3. The war will accelerate the shift towards a global industrial chain resting on US demand, China as the hub, and the rest of the world in supporting roles, handing China pricing power and rule-setting authority. 4. This is a stress test for the petrodollar and US military credibility. The US is signalling that interests take precedence over allied security, while trade settlements are using the renminbi to hedge risk.

🇨🇳BYD's super fast charging stations. Fully charged within 9 minutes, with a range of 600KM. There is no oil crisis in China.😊

At this section of the Wuling factory in China, not a single human worker is in sight: full automation.

China is using folding mobile photovoltaic power stations, long strips of solar panels that unfold to quickly generate electricity, bringing clean power to construction sites, disaster zones, and remote areas.

Two decades ago, observers in the advanced liberal democracies said China could never catch up: the technological gulf was too vast and China's authoritarian institutions would obstruct innovation. How did we get here? My essay in @ForeignAffairs foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-s…

So far no confirmation of this, and it would be a big deal.... Canon, Nikon, Mitsubishi Chemical, and other Japanese giants have collectively "cut off supply," completely halting the provision of core photoresist materials to mainland China, and suspending lithography machine maintenance services.

The CEO of Australia's main grid says nearly 100% renewables possible by 2035-2040. “Our old coal-fired power stations are breaking down; they’re retiring,” he said. ​“They’re getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy..." wired.com/story/as-coal-…
