🚨The energy crisis triggered by the Persian Gulf conflict is accelerating the shift to a multipolar world. 🇷🇺🇨🇳Russia and China are building a parallel energy system less dependent on Western finance, shipping, and payments. This accelerates de-dollarization through energy trade in national currencies, energy economist Dr Kazi Sohag told Sputnik. 🔸China is becoming the Global South’s main guarantor of energy security through its dominance in green technologies — solar, batteries, EVs, grids, and storage. 🔸Via the Belt and Road Initiative, China offers complete turnkey solutions — hardware, financing, construction, and rapid deployment — at prices and scale the West cannot match. 🔸Amid global scarcity, Russian oil becomes far more attractive, strengthening their bargaining power with India, China, and other major buyers. This weakens Western sanctions as importers prioritize physical supply over compliance. 🔸The energy crisis exposed Western vulnerability to physical supply shocks and the limits of sanctions, proving that financial power alone cannot guarantee energy security. 🔸As a result, Russia strengthens its role as a key hydrocarbon supplier, while China accelerates its leadership in clean energy. Together, they are speeding up multipolarity by encouraging countries to diversify away from exclusive Western systems.

Strike with Oreshnik on gas. Gas storage facilities in Stryi are one of the largest underground gas storages in Europe and the world. They played a key role in gas transit to Europe, compensating for seasonal fluctuations, and supporting energy security. They were built by the USSR as part of the development of the gas industry in the Ukrainian SSR. Pilot operation began in 1983. Since 2023, European companies have actively used UGS for storing gas purchased during the low season. In the event of destruction, this would lead to a loss of up to 35% of Europe's total storage capacity. Europe would be forced to import more expensive gas from Qatar and the US. Globally, this would severely hit the economies of EU countries. Overall, as we can see, this is the "decommunization" that many Ukrainians wanted so much and that Putin promised. Only now Russia is "decommunizing" Europe. Which used the USSR's capacities to ensure its energy security.

🚨 RESEARCHERS JUST MADE WATER-BASED BATTERIES LAST OVER 2,800 HOURS WITH RECORD CAPACITY. A team in South Korea has developed a simple zwitterionic electrolyte additive that dramatically improves the performance of aqueous (water-based) batteries a technology long seen as a safer, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly alternative to lithium-ion. The additive forms tiny nanostructures that guide zinc to deposit evenly on the electrode and create a protective layer that prevents corrosion and unwanted side reactions with water. This solves two of the biggest problems that have limited aqueous batteries: uneven metal buildup and rapid capacity fade. In testing, the modified batteries achieved a world-leading areal capacity of 8.10 mAh cm⁻² and ran stably for more than 2,800 hours. Why this matters: • Aqueous batteries are non-flammable and use abundant, low-cost materials, but have historically suffered from poor lifespan and performance • This approach improves both cycle life and capacity at the same time — something many previous solutions struggled to achieve together • It uses a simple additive rather than requiring expensive new materials or complex manufacturing changes • The technology is particularly relevant for large-scale energy storage needed for renewables and AI data centers The deeper implication: We’re getting closer to making safe, scalable, and affordable grid storage a reality. While lithium-ion still dominates, aqueous batteries could become a strong contender for stationary storage where safety, cost, and longevity matter more than energy density. A small molecular tweak unlocking major performance gains shows how materials engineering at the nanoscale can have outsized real-world impact. This is the kind of incremental but meaningful progress that compounds over time. How important do you think safer, water-based batteries will be for the future energy grid compared to improving lithium-ion or other alternatives? Follow for more frontier energy storage and battery materials research.

UNUSUAL China begins building the “New Three Gorges” China has announced the launch of a major new project — the construction of the “Three Gorges” waterway on the Yangtze River, which will include the largest navigation gate in the world. The project, costing 77.2 billion yuan (£11.4 billion), includes a new navigation channel at the Three Gorges Dam — the largest engineering project in the world — as well as an expansion of the dam’s capacity at Gezhouba downstream on the Yangtze. It is designed for vessels of up to 10,000 tons. This is the first major national project to be launched under China’s 14th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030), and it comes after ten years of research and planning studies. It is being built due to the rising volume of transport along the Yangtze River — China’s main inland shipping artery. Once completed, the annual capacity of the “Three Gorges” will double, exceeding 336 million tons

China and Afghanistan have officially agreed to construct a modern, all-weather motorway linking Faizabad (Badakhshan) with Tashkurgan in Xinjiang via the Wakhan Corridor, turning the historic silk route into a high-speed trade artery. The project, estimated at over $500 million for the Afghan section alone (with China providing major funding and technical support), will cut travel time between the two countries from days to just a few hours, open direct access for Afghan exports to China’s massive market, and boost tourism and cross-border trade worth billions annually. Once completed, this strategic highway will not only strengthen economic ties but also bring jobs, infrastructure, and new opportunities to one of the most remote regions in Asia. A game-changer for both nations! 🇨🇳🤝🏳️🛣️🚧 China MFA 🇨🇳 Ministry of Foreign Affairs - China 🇨🇳 China Xinhua News South China Morning Post

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases. Do you think space-based solar power will become a major energy source in the coming decades, or will it stay too expensive and complex?

This isn’t Shanghai or Beijing. This is Ürümqi, the capital of Xinjiang. A region once seen as remote is now becoming China’s rising star. Xinjiang stands as a powerful symbol of development at the crossroads of geography, strategy, and ambition. Often in the headlines for geopolitical reasons, Xinjiang is one of the most economically transformative regions in China. Geographically, Xinjiang is huge, over 1.6 million km², sharing borders with eight countries. Historically underdeveloped, it’s now becoming a key node in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), serving as a gateway for trade routes stretching from Central Asia to Europe. Economically, China has poured billions into infrastructure in Xinjiang: 🤜 New railways and expressways connecting the region to coastal hubs 🤜 Smart agriculture in the Taklamakan Basin 🤜 Investments in renewable energy, making Xinjiang one of China’s largest producers of wind and solar power 🤜 Urbanization and digital infrastructure in cities like Urumqi and Kashgar Incomes of Uyghurs are rising, access to education and healthcare is expanding, and industrial zones are attracting businesses in textiles, logistics, and high-tech. Xinjiang’s GDP has more than doubled over the last decade. Xinjiang is a case of regional convergence policy in action, where China invests heavily to reduce the gaps of income and development between western China and the eastern seaboard. China-haters often miss something fundamental! Development in Xinjiang is a part of China’s macroeconomic vision for national resilience, cross-border trade influence, energy and strategic security. As an economist living in China for over a decade, I can say this with confidence, Xinjiang is undergoing undeniable and significant development which is inspiring.
