Wow.... If this is real, then it's just ridiculous.
What about when Xi Jinping leaves power? This so called "Xi Jinping" thought or whatever it even means won't matter anymore I guess. So I think it's silly to make foreign or even Chinese companies attend such compulsive ideological thoughts which has nothing to do with business/technology.

Honestly, if you had to pick a group of people to conduct a reeducation campaign on, it would be the finance bros and plutocrats.

What about Jeffersonian ideas after Jefferson leaves power?

Political theorists take things they see around them and record their ideas/perspectives on it. Some observations are always "valid" or at least you can draw a lesson from them even if you don't agree.

The political ideas behind how the largest economy in the world operates has a lot to do with business. And if you want funding, it can have something to do with science also.

You really think Blackrock is just a silly little company that wastes time making workshops for their own employees to waste time on silly things? No, everything they do is profit driven.

Those who work in financial sectors must be reminded of "common prosperity" 24 by 7. After Xi leaves, his thoughts will still be carried on, just like those of Mao, Deng, Jiang and Hu.

That's how you have ended up with the US economy today.

my sense is that a lot of the additional in gas consumption is due to petrochemical sector. There have been more power generation from NG, but that's still just a smaller fraction of gas consumption in China.

my theory is that they significantly expanded chemical sector in the recent years at the expense of Euros, Koreans and Japanese. That explains why the energy consumption growth is so much higher than GDP growth. Normally, it should be the other way around,
I prefer it when sources list either all energy sources together (thus showing shifts in distribution) or bundle them as an aggregate. When pundits show any one energy source absent temporal or competing energy source data for context, you can only take it as a single data point.
