China purchases approximately 90% of Iranian oil and significant Venezuelan oil at below-market prices, securing cheap energy to fuel manufacturing and economic growth outpacing the US 4% to 2%.

Trade growth excluding the US

Major global trade deals in 2026 increasingly exclude the US while including China, accelerating the shift toward a multipolar economic order.

Tariffs target Chinese economic growth

US tariffs aim to force companies to relocate from China to the US, directly targeting China's economy while attempting to slow its trajectory toward surpassing the US economy.

Oil blockades as economic weapons

Potential US blockades of the Strait of Hormuz could restrict China's oil supply, raising energy costs and inflation globally while specifically targeting China's discounted energy advantage.
