China's energy and clean tech sector developments are continuing to decisively impact the global energy system on the one hand, and to steer the country's economy towards rapid electrification on the other hand.
China's diesel consumption peak is near. Meanwhile, the EU's trade deficit with China is soaring as imbalances expand. Beijing's new five-year plan is hence of particular relevance, as are China's further actions in weaponizing raw material supply chains. The outcomes of a prospective Xi-Trump summit in April will necessarily have a significant impact on the path that lies ahead.
