The large and growing use of electronic trucks saves China a more than 1 million barrels of oil per day, that’s also Oman’s daily oil production. The saving will grow by 600.000 barrels over then next 12 months.

Available data indicate that the stock value of Chinese FDI in North Africa and the Middle East platoed in 2020 and started declining in 2023. Given how things have been in the region in the past two years, how unlikely is that that was the peak?

OpenAi’s new Deep search. You pay USD200/month for something that still hallucinates. Plus, it does research on open source only and natural takes no responsibility for mistakes. It sounds like an AI version of a student writing an essay…nothing that anyone with anything at stake would rely on.
