Like India, China is certain to ignore Trump & Lindsey Graham’s 100% tariff threat over buying Russian oil. But if the pair go ahead with it, these are considerations that State Dept policy wonks are sure not to have told them:

China has 19% of the world’s population, but consumes

  • 53% of the world’s cement
  • 48% of the world’s iron ore
  • 47% of the world’s coal
  • And the majority of just about every other major commodity.

In 2024, China produced 1 billion tons of steel — the United States produced only 88 million tons.

China made and sold 31 million vehicles in 2024.

There are more pigs in China than in the next 43 pork producing nations combined.

China currently has the world’s fastest train and the world’s largest high-speed rail network.

China is currently the number one producer in the world of wind and solar power equipment, but don’t use it themselves. While they manufacture 80% of the world’s solar panels, they install less than 5% and build a new coal fired power station every week. In one year they turn on more new coal powered electricity than Australia ‘s total output.

China currently controls more than 90% of the total global supply of rare earth elements.

In the past 15 years, China has moved from 14th place to 2nd place in the world in published scientific research articles.

China now possesses the fastest supercomputer on the entire globe.

At the end of March 2024, China had accumulated $3.32 trillion in US foreign currency reserves — the largest stockpile on the entire globe.

They are already the largest carbon dioxide emitter and their output will rise 70% by 2030.

But Leftists think they are saving the planet with their demand for zero emissions?! It will not make one iota of difference what we do in NZ/Australia, or Canada/the United States or the EU for that matter, all the politicians are doing is increasing our cost of living and making our manufacturers uncompetitive in the world market, when countries like China are growing and consuming at these extraordinary rates.
