Sinopec here connected a geothermal power in Xianyang to the grid to produce 700 MWh power per year

It also integrates extraction of Helium, which happens during non-heating season. It can produce 99% purity helium

700 MWh per year for geothermal is really very small, wondering whether it was a typo

NZ has many geothermal power stations and the latest one that commissioned Tauhara will produce 1,420GWh or roughly 2000x of 700MWh

An interesting piece from Bloomberg. Some of US officials quoted still think semiconductor restrictions are working though (heh).
The world outside the US is increasingly driving Chinese electric vehicles, scrolling the web on Chinese smartphones and powering their homes with Chinese solar panels.

But despite more than six years of US tariffs, export controls and financial sanctions, Xi is making steady progress in positioning China to dominate industries of the future. New research by Bloomberg Economics and Bloomberg Intelligence shows that Made in China 2025 — an industrial policy blueprint unveiled a decade ago to make the nation a leader in emerging technologies — has largely been a success. Of 13 key technologies tracked by Bloomberg researchers, China has achieved a global leadership position in five of them and is catching up fast in seven others.

That means the world outside the US is increasingly driving Chinese electric vehicles, scrolling the web on Chinese smartphones and powering their homes with Chinese solar panels. For Washington, the risk is that policies aimed at containing China end up isolating the US — and hurting its businesses and consumers.

“China continues to climb the ladder of manufacturing dominance and technological advance,” Bloomberg Economics and Bloomberg Intelligence said. “If the US wants to win the competition, Washington will need to run faster or try harder to trip China.”

"XAG drones are priced starting at CNY40,000 (USD5,610) and can carry 70 kilograms, while drones from US vendors are priced at USD60,000 and can carry 20 kilograms."
This is an insane price differential.
