Significant article. VERY important. What is causing the power outages???
Subtle spec ops.... from Taiwan....
Energy being diverted to military uses?
The Aussies pissed them off so they cut off their noses to spite their faces by boycotting Aussie coal which was a significant percentage of their domestic power.
Since then Aussies have locked down and so forget about Aussie coal even if they lifted their boycott.
So to sum things up for you... China released a bioweapon... the Aussies pointed it out... China got in a huff and shot themselves in the energy foot saying no Aussie coal, and the Aussie domestic reaction to the bioweapon has precluded the Chinese asking... coal please... sorry about the bioweapon.
The crappy part is it is going to destabilize all energy markets, f up the supply chain more... and lead to lots of nasty things coming out of an angry China.
