When Titans Clash
When Titans Clash S12 - China and the Iran War: Power, Pressure, and Opportunity
China is accelerating its push for clean, potentially limitless energy as oil and gas prices rise. Its latest plan prioritizes nuclear power—especially fusion—alongside wind, solar, and hydropower to boost energy security and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, are adding urgency, while China’s green tech could influence energy strategies across the Global South.
At the same time, China is expanding its global role cautiously. It promotes peace initiatives but avoids taking on a US-style security leadership role. While some believe global instability may offer opportunities, China still faces major challenges, including economic vulnerabilities.
