COLUMN: How do you say "drill, baby, drill" in Mandarin?
Call it “zuan ba, bao bei, zuan ba."
China may not have a drilling slogan, but it just lifted oil production to an all-time high, surpassing a peak set 10 years ago.

Oil is trading today at the same level as 20 years ago.
Even without adjusting by inflation, in mere nominal terms, a barrel of Brent crude cost today as it did in mid-2005. Add on top cumulative inflation, and this is a huge loss of purchasing power for OPEC+
