Fair Trade! Better China Relationships Help All, but Especially China

  • Improving relationships with China is imperative to meet energy transition goals globally, but it may worsen competitiveness in the West and enhance other risks.
  • China’s current significant economic challenges suggest that improving trade relations with the West should be a high priority – this was last week’s message.
  • But China’s speed to market and much better quality should allow for outsized manufacturing growth versus the West and increased dependence on China.
  • We cannot solve energy transition challenges without embracing China, but we risk creating national security headaches – Western regulation must change.  
  • Otherwise, we take a deep dive into the liquidity challenges of energy transition in a skittish lending market, US blue ammonia enthusiasm, and ethylene again.

Last week, we discussed 21 Chemicals and Related Products and 106 Companies.
