Prof. Zhang Weiwei: ‘China🇨🇳 is NOT AFRAID of US’🇺🇸 attempts to choke off China’s energy imports with wars on Venezuela and Iran, Beijing prepared TWO DECADES AGO.’ ‘China began to pursue this energy strategy since about two decades ago. As a result, today China’s energy dependency on foreign supply is at maximum 15%. As a result, China can cope with this crisis. So far, it’s okay. Unlike other countries in Asia or in Europe. 52% of energy comes from coal, but it’s already processed green coal, with new technologies. And 20% from renewable energies from green electricity and power, and then the rest from traditional oil and gas. Of this part around 70% is from foreign sources. Yet we have developed different ways of oil supply. Northern line from Russia, western line from Central Asia and the southern line from Myanmar, et cetera. So now the supply diversified. We also have this, very importantly, railway connection between China and Iran. It’s of huge importance for Iran.’ —Prof. Zhang Weiwei, Former Translator for Chinese Paramount Leader Deng Xiaoping, and Director of Fudan University’s China Institute Watch the full interview in the quoted post below👇

Trump on Taiwan: When you look at the odds, China is very, very powerful, big country. That's a very small island. Think of it, it's 59 miles away. We're 9500 miles away. That's a little bit of a difficult problem. Taiwan was developed because we had presidents that didn't know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼 Fox's Bret Baier: “President Xi probably liked that you haven't approved the weapons for Taiwan?” Trump: “I would say ‘like’ is too strong of a word... It's a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly”
