With both sides at the unwinnable stalemate stage, there’s every reason to think the Middle East War could drag on until 2027 or '28. China has long been preparing for the day it might need to get by with restricted oil supplies, hence its prioritization of renewables/EVs on national security grounds.

The knock on effects of this will be to also speed further Chinese EV tech development. This will set up a virtuous cycle where EVs (already superior to combustion cars) get even better, and cheaper, and reduce global oil demand even more.

Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions fall in Q2 2026 due to plummeting oil use

    Not surprising at all, and re. Chinas coal, then it is being processed into other types of energy/resources in ways that are completely new to the west, so not polluting. China are in control of the situation, and have even used surplus resources to help out other local nations against the repercussions of the US elite and their blind-sided western populations.

    Sorry for the long comment, but the above article relates directly to current geo-political events where US are attacking China. The article - one among thousands - shows that US are failing, and I don’t think I can summarise the connecting events shorter atmo:

    For those of us that have followed the US oligarchy’s war on the rest of the world for a long long time, and followed how they constantly tried to sabotage China’s rise, it has been a huge relief to see that enemies of the US Epstein class - “The Empire of Lies” as it is also called - have prepared for everything that is happening now. They ALSO knew what was going to happen, and what the standard/predictable CIA playbook were.

    Everything that happens right now have been predicted, and heard/read directly from the arrogant western oligarchs, so there was little surprise for anyone but the ordinary western population that, through the oligarch owned media, thought that we were the good guy’s. We weren’t, and never was. The reason we thought so, was because US have created the wildest propaganda apparatus, and the most docile/in-fighting/misinformed population in human history - quantity + quality that have never been seen before !

    In fact, all the current geo-political conflicts, are really just the US Epstein class panicking and attacking China with everything they got. They had to first weaken Chinas friend/energy provider, Russia through Ukraine (and then command EU oligarchy to take over), and then cut off fossil fuels/energy from Iran, to chinas production machine. They will try to block Chinese trade through other straits if possible, but its no longer likely to succeed. The US elite have completely failed on every single front they have created and the US is no longer a unipolar hegemony, and will only sink deeper and deeper towards poverty, though they will make sure to drain/sacrifice their vassal nations as much as they can first.

    However, only the western populations and smaller nations with corruptible leaders were this blind-sided, and an incredible amount of westerners actually believe that all of this was purely Trump/Maga’s fault - despite it going on - and accelerating - for over 100 years - WHILE activists was telling everybody about it ! They still don’t realise they have been, and are being manipulated - badly…

    So, atmo, Western public narrative/emotions are still filled by the “Bad Russia” lynchmob via a standard CIA manufacturing consent campaign, despite an absolute shitload of counter evidence showing what actually happened in Ukraine, and other places in the world. That evidence is not shown to the western population via oligarch owned media, so anger in the created lynch-mob/echo-chamber are predictably hindering the mob in wanting to discuss what happened, or even just listen to those that try to break the US driven western narrative.

    Front 1: The now hated Russia already knew that US created Ukraine as a nazty proxy-warrior to harm Russia, and prepared for the coming Nato attack over many years. Nothing US or their EU vassals have instantiated have surprised them in this conflict, except perhaps the suicidal insanity of the EU vassal leaders, or how bad Nato fighting really is. Russia have completely drained out all of Nato’s resources, and we now see them turn up the heat while completely controlling the very angry but functionally lame EU/West. There is no ‘stalemate’, and there never was, so no matter that some peeps don’t like it, it was a Russian attrition War at its finest, and the war was already won from the beginning. Russia is doing great. Too bad that US and their bunkers EU vassals have killed so many innocent Ukrainians - “For the Empire !!” :-( Nobody needed to die and Russia did try many times to seek deals, but US elite wanted to continue until the last Ukrainian.

    Front 2: Iran also knew what was coming, have prepared themselves very well, and have pummelled the other nazty US proxy-warrior, Israel, and all US bases in the area. They also knew that US would try to control either their Oil, or block Hormuz strait to weaken China. Their preparedness and conversations with other ‘enemies’ of the Epstein class have completely upended US M.East power structure, Izrael and the corruptible golf nations, and there’s not much US can do now except hand over nukes to local criminals/terrorists that they support/control. Iran is still functioning and selling Oil to China. There is no ‘stalemate’, and there won’t be. Iran is harmed, but are in control of the situation.

    Front 3 - the main one: China also knew that US would trigger this ridiculous stunt. After all, they have been the target of US terrorist actions on the belt&road projects for many many years, and anyone could see that US economic Ponzi-scheme only survived on wars, aggression and exploitation/extortion - like extort/steal Oil from Venezuela - just everywhere on the globe. US, or the CIA tried to get a Taiwan proxy warrior up and running, but didn’t have time to finish the job, and bc the Ukraine campaign have drained them, US Oligarchy had to trigger attacks against all friends and supporters of China instead + attacking China financially with tariffs and worthless blockades. Not a scratch have come to China yet.

    China have been developing under the radar and are also turning up the knob. Every day we see how China launches new insane technology - far beyond anything in the West - and are completely managing everything US throws at them, sanctions, sabotaging the ‘belt and road project’, reducing fossil energy needed by China’s production via Hormuz closure, and so on. China, have hardly noticed it relative to what the western population is about to experience. The result of the Epsteins attack on China is that US and the entire western vassal system are in an implosive process, while China and its nearest friends are doing well now, and will survive the US elites current panic and violent tantrum just fine. China have already won - without much fuzz really.

    Earlier fronts: Unfortunately, smaller and closer nations got harmed by the US elites pscho warring for profit/power and by the western population that gave the green light for it. Many CIA instigated riots were triggered - the so-called “Color-revolutions” were all just CIA manipulation for the Epstein shtters, and many middle-east nations suffered, lost control to terrorist organisations supported by the US etc. Too many to mention, really. Venezuela, and the rest of the good peeps of South America are under constant attack from the Epstein cnts and their Oligarchy presidents.

    So, ALL of the above have been prepared, executed and evaluated by every sitting Oligarch President in the US - no matter if “Democrat” Biden, Obomba, Clinton etc, or “Republican” like Trump, Bush? etc were chosen for the Oligarchy presidency. No-one have tried to reverse what the previous puppet from the “other” uni-party did. That alone should raise some eyebrows in the west, but unfortunately, people are still too blind-sided and angry at anyone else but the elite pschos that are running the show. All of the above are documented and well-known for long time activist, anti-imperialists and real journalists (yes, there are still a few in the west).

      I agree with most you say. If you look at the official government calendar and see how many heads of state, have visited China in the last 6 months, it is mind-blowing. Almost every single world leader and lesser known countries have paid a visit. Especially leaders from African countries have received a more elaborate welcome than that orange sack of shit.

      The move of China to soft power from the prior sabre rattling is something to behold.

      China always plays the long game and have backup plans for their backup plans. Something western government either don’t or refuse to understand. Like the whole chip van thing. Now Xiaomi released their new flagship phone, Xiaomi 18 and it uses their own Ring O3 3nm which has the highest antutu score.

      People in general completely underestimate the tenacity of the Chinese people.

      In regards to the energy usage and reliance on oil, read this article.
