Thank you, Stu for this article. I wonder how much Sinopec spends lobbying California to stimulate demand for the unique gasoline blends being demanded by Sacramento? (Those California-specific gasoline blends offer limited benefits in reducing California air pollution.)

Thank you, Gene! It would not surprise me if Newsom already has a bank account ready to take "referral commissions on all Chinese gasoline and diesel imported. I don't have any official copies, but it would make sense, and it wouldn't surprise me. After all, it was President Xi's visit to California that was the only thing that would get Gov. Newsom to clean up San Francisco.

I wonder if President Trump should intervene and move the Olympics?

Dear True Stu, Another good article stating the many things going down for China.Could not happen to a worse country HA! They have been the push behind the climate cons solar and wind.They have been paying allot of people behind our backs to push for of the so called Renewables that are not "renewable" at all.Looks like they are suppose to be "renewable" for China, to pump more money into their pockets and out of ours.

Ann, you are spot on. They played with the local manufacturing markets, ran them out of business, and then inserted technology so they could have cyber hacking back doors. Not GOOOOD. - Again, thanks!! What bugs me is the number of politicians and companies that put money in their pockets at the expense of National Security.

Since California, Canada, Australia, and the European Union became Chinese provinces, things have been going quite well for the CCP for some time. Now, however, the markets are being flooded with Chinese goods, and in this respect, things will become somewhat more difficult. When people in the affected countries lose their jobs on a massive scale as a result of deindustrialization, purchasing power declines. Too much is simply too much.

Ryszard, great points and a question back to you. Do you think that is why they flooded the UK and EU with illegal migrants to take advantage of wiping out the locals, and let the illegals think the cheap Chinese products were ok?

Stu, I came across an article by Robert W Malone on China's war against the entire world. It contains very revealing information that says a lot about this whole development in recent years. https://www.malone.news/p/biowarfare-and-the-brave-new-world?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&hide_intro_popup=true

This flooding of Europe with so-called immigrants is mainly about destabilizing all countries. The USA is also affected by this, because a lot of Chinese are coming into the country via Canada.

The federal government ment recently revoked its waiver that allowed California to mandate EV sales. I believe that California also has a federal waiver allowing it to mandate futile fuel blends and air quality standards by CARB. Might this waiver also be revoked since air quality is shared by all states ? This would lower costs and open the California market to standard American fuel blends.

Thanks, Thomas, I will look into that - I fully expect President Trump will have to step in and invoke the War Powers Act.

I think there is a huge connection between Newsom destroying California’s energy independnce and China’s growth in refining capacity, with the capabilities of producing products meeting the California specifications. - Odd, coincidence, or an intentional destroying of a state for proffit?

Maybe he destroyed California’s oil and gas industry to appease the greens but cut a deal with the Chinese so that the gas prices wouldn’t skyrocket and the State economy wouldn’t collapse and destroy his presidential ambitions?
