Is China stockpiling resources in case of future war?
"China is deliberately stockpiling at speed, part of a much wider national effort to accumulate essential raw materials and resources."
In the eastern Chinese port of Dongying, the start of 2024 has often seen several tankers docked simultaneously discharging Russian crude oil into a new 31.5-million-barrel storage facility completed late last year.
It is, traders say, all part of a concerted and deliberate Chinese effort to build up strategic stockpiles for a perhaps uncertain future.
Estimates of China's total strategic energy reserve vary from 280 to 400 million barrels, the upper amount exceeding the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve at roughly 364 million. China consumes some 14 million barrels a day of oil in peacetime.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman: “My kid will never, ever be smarter than an AI. That will never happen... My kid will never be smarter—and they’ll never know a world where PRODUCTS and services aren’t way smarter than them.”
That doesn’t sound like a future I would want for any child.
