| That is opposite of what is actually happening. IDK why there

| It could be overall US policy. Renewables decrease dependency
| on oil, which decreases demand petrodollar (which is about 1%
| of US GDP so not sure if it's worth the squeeze for US), while
| also growing China's exports.
|
| Notable mention is China is doubling down on low altitude
| economy (eVTOL and drone delivery) which pretty much depend on
| solid state batteries.
