But let the USA continue to demonize EVs and concentrate on ICE vehicle usage. It is no big loss for China, as the global south market is big enough to exploit. Trump is into fossil fuel throughout his two Presidencies, even encouraging fracking. Trump in fact demonized windmills or wind turbines for killing birds, does not believe in solar power and continues to demonize China for building too many dams for generating hydro power. It is all to fit into his fossil fuel ideology as mandated by his campaign donors and his investments in oil exploration.
USA intended to use those choke points to blockade the flow of oil in times of war, ostensibly targeting China. Iran is at war with the USA and is blockading the Straits of Hormuz, sharing the same modus-operandi as the USA. If USA is allowed to do blockading at will, why should Iran be denied the same leverage it holds? What is the difference between the two countries having identical ideas. Unless it can be logically explained that blockading China is legal and therefore beneficial for everybody around the world that depended on cheaper Chinese goods.

That means who had been planning for the future in energy sourcing will control the future. What firewood was to the ancients had today centered on fossil fuel to power economies. But that dependence will also change, not that firewood is totally unusable or not used today. And in the context of renewables or green energy as some call it, China is way far ahead in raw materials securement and procurement, refining logistics and expertise, market development and expansion, cost advantages from economies of scale. It is a total package of well thought out strategy that China sets out to dominate decades earlier. It is a goal that will slowly materialize despite the demonization.
The war in Iran is in fact a dry run for China, to find out how much it has achieved in fulfilling its agenda in energy management and how much more refinement it needs to calibrate in order to achieve greater independence in energy over the coming years and decades. It is nothing to be left to chance as China's enemies will not relent in attempts to make China collapse using the energy weapon.
