China's new energy strategies bearing fruits

The USA is just playing 'wild cards' which have no realistic value in its desperate state. Yes, when the tide recedes, we are going to see who is in fact naked.

China has anticipated the problems arising decades ago and has taken steps to protect itself from USA blockades over energy flows China has prepared itself against energy shortages and building energy infrastructures unseen anywhere else in the world. Building of stockpiling infrastructures for oil are being built fast and furious, while oil exploration by the Chinese is entering untouched territory with Chinese oil explorers investing in deeper oil wells being sunk.

The biggest move by China must be its migration to renewables, that will lessen China's dependence on oil and coal. China dived headlong into solar and wind energy harvesting to complement its reliance on fossil fuel, which today is levelling off, while the USA and the West laughed and now discovered they had balls caught in seaweeds today.

China took the adoption of EVs by the horns, building more than 16.7 million charging points throughout the country, with the Government subsidizing the adoption of EV purchases and phasing out internal combustion vehicles. This is no half-hearted move and no chickening out in the face of all the sanctions by the West over the adoption of Chinese EVs. If the USA and Europeans refused to buy Chinese EVs, the Global South will gladly oblige adopting the cheaper Chinese EVs. The market will dictate whether Chinese EVs will grow and survive or stagnate. Sales in China alone will keep EV makers in China busy enough, with China the biggest growing vehicle market in the world.

Significantly, Singapore's transport operators are buying BYD buses by the thousands, which tells us who is laughing all the way to the bank. The mass transport sector is no more the playground of Mercedes, Volvo and Leyland anymore. If it works in Singapore, expect others to follow.

Now, we are starting to see the nakedness of the USA with the relentless AI and data center buildup, with insufficient energy generating logistics to cope with massive demands. Not having done the sums first before diving headlong into building AI and data center infrastructures all over the USA is coming back to haunt AI investors. Whether a big collapse is coming is left to be seen. But let us wait for the tide to go out to see the fun.

The sycophants and 'lawless' rogues in Washington claiming that China's military exercise is a 'deliberate provocation'. What about Venezuela blockade?

What are the sycophants and 'lawless' lawmakers in Washington claiming by trying to pull a fast one on China. The are now saying that China's military exercise is a 'deliberate provocation' against Taiwan. What about the USA, Japan and Taiwan holding military exercises all the time around China, Russia and North Korea's front yard? Are they not doing exactly the same thing trying to appear provocative deliberately?

And those mindless poodles in EU are jumping on the same bandwagon demonizing China's military exercise as 'increasing tensions in the region''. Do they have the same eyes to see what the USA is doing against Venezuela, attacking boats, blockading shipping? Did they come out to condemn the USA for creating tensions in South America? And what about the USA trying to create trouble by appointing an Envoy to Greenland, knowing that it belongs to Denmark. If those actions are not 'threats to world peace', I do not know what world they are living in?

Those morons are undoubtedly living in the twilight zone thinking that what they say holds true because they have the support of the MSM to provide an echo-chamber for their shouting. China, Russia and North Korea ought to hold more frequent military exercises around the region. It is their front yard, and they have every right to do so, unlike those living thousands of miles away and thinking they have a right to do so.

DOLLAR REJECTED: China Officially Stops Accepting USD for Trade (It's Over)

 

24 min clip, China rejects the dollar. The dollar is on the way down and out.

The morning was about the metal. The night is about the currency. Following the massive 41-ton silver withdrawal we reported earlier, Beijing has just dropped the second shoe. Sources confirm that major Chinese exporters are now rejecting US Dollars for settlement. The demand is clear: Payment in Real Assets (Gold, Silver, or Asset-Backed Yuan) only. 

This is the moment we warned you about. The Petrodollar is dead. The "Paper Era" is ending, and the "Asset Era" has officially begun. In this historical breakdown, we analyze the death of the USD as the World Reserve Currency and what the new "Gold Standard" coming out of the East means for your wealth.

This is the beginning to the end of dollar being accepted by China and the world.

The hideous Petrol Dollar Scam

 When a country buys oil from any oil selling country, it just pays, hands the money to the seller. The seller then hands the country the oil. If China buys oil from Saudi Arabia, it just pays Yuan to Saudi Arabia, and the latter hands over the oil to China. A simple buy and sell transaction.

With the implementation of the Petrol Dollar Scheme, when a country wants to buy oil from an OPEC country, it must first use its own currency, go to the bank to exchange for American dollar. It then hands over the dollar to the seller for the oil. The transaction now has a third party, the US, who did not do anything except using some pieces of paper it call dollars to collect real money from the buyer. This means the Americans can just print monopoly money to sell to buyers of oil to collect real money that it can then use to buy whatever it wants from the world.

Get the picture? The seller has to give up his oil. The buyer has to give up his money for the oil. The Americans did not give up anything except monopoly money for doing nothing and collecting real money.

The second part of the transaction is even more bizarre. After collecting the money from the seller, in American dollar, the seller ie Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries, would have to hand back the money to the Americans to exchange for another piece of paper called Treasury bond. The end result, the Americans collect all the money, and the real money from the buyer of oil and the monopoly money it sold to the buyer, by issuing another piece of scrap paper called bond to the oil seller.

This is the most brilliant scam of the century. The Americans do nothing, sell nothing, but sit there in the bank collecting money from buyers of oil and sellers of oil. And what did the Americans do with all the money collected? Buy weapons, pay for terrorists in uniforms called soldiers, to control and threaten all the countries in the world, and enjoying life aplenty, with money from the whole world. And the oil sellers cannot say no to exchange their money for a piece of paper called Treasury bond or the American terrorists in uniform will come calling, to put a gun at their heads. Saddam and Gaddafi were killed for defying the Americans to want to sell oil in other currencies.

Just think about this. How can the Americans not be rich, not to enjoy all the good things in life? The whole world is now turning against this scam, not to use the dollar to buy their oil. Oops, the oil sellers may lose everything, the oil and the pieces of paper called bond, if they become worthless when weaponised. And the Washington clowns really weaponised the dollar to scuttle the scam, to destroy the trust in the system and the dollar, to kill the Petrol Dollar Scam.

What to expect from clowns?

Another hideous aspect of this Petrol Dollar scam is that the money Saudi used to buy American Treasury Bonds will be held hostage by the Americans. The Saudi thus have to do whatever the Americans want them to. If not, the Treasury Bonds can be confiscated like the Russian assets. If this happens, the Saudi sold oil but get nothing instead as the money will be with the Americans.

The next industrial powerhouse is NOT India

 India can keep faking that it is the next superpower by talking and shouting. But without the real industrial base, it will not happen. Any Indian with a little bit of talent have left, even those with fake talents have left India, leaving only the big mouth and loud mouth politicians to pretend that India is the next China, the next semiconductor and AI powerhouse.

Has anyone heard of BYD, Huawei, Baidu, ByteDance, Xiaomi, Alibaba, Tencent, TikTok, Douyin, Unitree, DJI, Xpeng, Geely, SMIC, Nexperia, DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, ...the list is endless. All these are China's most advanced semicon, high tech and AI companies known worldwide. You cannot find a single Indian company that is in this league. Nothing more need to be said about the industrial and tech power of India.

The next industrial power is Asean. Yes, Asean is rising quietly as the next big player in semicon, high tech and AI with Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia establishing themselves in modernisation and economic development, moving into semicon manufacturing, EVs, solar panels, rare earths refining, processing of raw materials that are in high demand in the tech industries. Singapore does not have the mass in land and population to make an impact but may find a small niche in AI.

These Asean countries are not shouting or trumpeting their success. But their GDP growth are among the highest in the world, real numbers, not fake, no cowdung included. The quality of life, education and industrialisation are moving very close to the developed world and would soon be in the same league as the western countries. Hopefully, the kampong politicians did not usurp power and scuttle the economic and industrial locomotives and return to nasi lemak and teh tarik economies. Germany has just moved 90b Euros to set up a car manufacturing plant in Malaysia.

The steady rise of Asean countries is inevitable with progressive leaders that understand the importance of economic and industrial growth to improve the quality of life of their people, to grow the  economic pie in peace and stability that Asean is offering. No infighting, no taking sides in big power rivalry, just stay neutral and do what is best in the interests of their countries and people. China is contributing in a big way towards the growth and progress of Asean by exporting their factories and transfer of technology to Asean countries, a willing partner and willing recipients marching ahead towards a share and common destiny for all.

Only the daft and those that have been drugged by the Indians believe that India is the next growth engine and superpower.
