What happened on energy and climate in China this year?
Emissions flatlined; clean power pushed out coal; and oil for transport falls again.

The reason why Elon, Vance and everyone are piling on the EU right now is that it's the wild card. It's the only major player who is not entirely on board yet with Sphere of Influence 2.0. This is why, over the next few years, you will see an all-out effort by the US to support EU's right-wing gov.
Sounds like we are going back to a 19th-century "sphere of influence" world order. Everyone is beginning to mark their territory. The EU is the wild card. Both Russia & the US covet pieces of the EU. China, meanwhile, needs a rich, but not necessarily strong Europe, as a buyer for its goods.
The Trump admin announced a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine. The original doctrine was a warning to Europe to stay out of the Americas. The new collary is a shot across the bow at China. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
