Can anyone verify if this is true? If this is true this means China produces almost as much electricity as USA, India & Russia combined together. And hydropower in China alone produces more electricity than the entire national grid of Japan. Quite hard to believe numbers

I work for an oil company in US, sit close to security director, today overheard him say they are blocking "all the China stuff" and in one conversation puts WeChat, and Alipay in the same category of threats or bad sites/apps/services as "Onlyfans" and "Ashley Madison"... and they are treating the China branch office like a bastard step child, including revoking the Chinese office branch users/employees from all corporate file share access/network access and basically put them all on locked down mode like quarantine or dmz

From the gist of things this is high level directive from government to criticial infrastructure companies... Biden presidency wont change much, if Huawei is betting on that its naive

You mean you work for an oil company in occupied lands. Lets be factually accurate about geography.

Yea it’s outdated China produces >7200 Twh now, which is more than the US and European Union combined.

And our double agent Gordon Guthrie Chang has told everyone that China GDP statistics are so unreliable that electricity production should be used instead.

There was a period of time, say 10 to 20 years ago, in which these geopolitical rifts werent as apparent...but at the time as a much younger person I was naive about the way the world and American empirialism worked and simply assumed good relations would be the status quo norm in an increasingly globalized world....

The truth is American intent towards China had never changed and was always consistent, but back then many people including myself couldnt see behind the veil....


There is some irony in an US oil company blocking wechat and alipay... petrodollar dont want to be challenged

This is why Li Keqiang once said, he always uses electricity generation and other utilities to give him some idea on well or otherwise of China's economic performance.

I used this article from from 2014 to my students. Especially after they tried to argue from western publications that china lies about its stats. This really brings it home. They are gobsmacked. Anyone mention "road to nowhere"?

Yes but your students will point out the concrete statistic is a lie.

They'll either say the concrete stats were made up, or all the concrete was used to build reeducation camps for Uighurs.

Bill Gates probably paid by the CCP since he's poor and needs that cash

On a serious note, it's a pity electricity generation doesn't correlate 1 to 1 with GDP. Otherwise China would be by far by the biggest economy. Unfortunately a large portion of electricity goes towards low value manufacturing. That's why the move up the value chain is ever important.

The whole ulygurs slave thing dont even make sense to anyone who knows basics of science... its AI and automation leading the way forward, forced human labor wont even be the most profitable for the same reason India will never be able to harness its massive population to industrialize its way up the chain the same way China did, that era is over.... humans cant compete with machines anyway, certainly not the low skilled sweat shop jobs that forced labor could do....

Its like the movie Matrix, how they explained that in the future the AI harvest humans to use their body heat as batteries to power them. Guess no one knows about entropy or 2nd law of thermodynamics, same folks who thought ethanol was the future and America can just use petroleum derivatives to grow a lot of corn to then convert it to fuel..... all an net energy sink and scam

I wonder what metric Gordan is gonna switch to if oneday China solves fusion power
