Comment on Why China can withstand oil's surge past $100 more easily than other countries

Because it’s not run by morons. They know their weakness and work to protect against them.
US on the other hand started illegal war in Iran and forgot to fill up their own strategic oil reserves…

I’d argue it is worse than that… The us is by far the largest oil producer in the world. Something like 20 million barrels of crude a day. For comparison Russia and Saudi Arabia produce about 10 million. Instead of pushing for green tech like China, so we’re not financially dependent on the world’s continued use of oil, we’ve doubled down. Starting the up teth war just for oil. This is what we’re spending $890 million a day to fight for… American oil companies and their shareholders. The GOP and the dnc have decided that American lives are worth sacrificing again for oil.
