Global oil giants are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, searching for oil everywhere from Japan, South Korea, Vietnam to Australia, while China remains unperturbed, causing great tension in the West!

Brent crude oil once surpassed the $130 per barrel mark, and the spot price of Asian liquefied natural gas hit a historic high. Against this backdrop, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, which heavily rely on imported energy, quickly fell into anxiety, frequently holding emergency energy security meetings, urging the public to conserve energy, and seeking alternative supply channels.

About 90% of Japan's crude oil imports must pass through the Strait of Hormuz, while the proportions for South Korea and Vietnam are as high as 85% and over 70%, respectively. The energy security of these countries immediately raised red flags, the energy sector of the stock market experienced severe fluctuations, and public concerns about inflation and power outages rapidly intensified.

However, in the face of this global energy storm, China has shown a rare strategic composure, not only remaining largely unscathed but also seizing the opportunity to deepen energy cooperation with countries like Turkmenistan, signing substantial long-term natural gas supply agreements. This route completely bypasses the Strait of Hormuz and is unaffected by maritime tensions.

Turkmenistan will annually supply an additional 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas to China through the Central Asia gas pipeline, equivalent to nearly one-tenth of China's current annual consumption. This move not only fills a potential maritime supply gap but also marks a further consolidation of China's land energy corridor.

At the same time, China's advanced layout in the field of new energy has made it almost 'immune' to the fossil energy crisis. This contrast has caused unprecedented tension and unease among traditional Western oil giants and countries dependent on the old energy system. Currently, France and the UK have respectively called China to discuss energy-related matters.

The newly added renewable energy capacity in China accounts for over 50% to 60% of the global total. This means that for every two units of new clean electricity added globally, more than one unit comes from China. China's new energy storage capacity has exceeded 100 million kilowatts, accounting for over 40% of the global total energy storage, providing a 'giant power bank' for high proportions of new energy integration into the grid.

Brother Dao feels that the West's frequent calls for China to step in to resolve issues, whether mediating conflicts or providing escort, are actually driven by their fears of suffering losses while China remains largely unaffected.
