On multiple occasions in 2020, soldiers from China and India engaged in border skirmishes resulting in casualties on both sides and months of trade uncertainty.

The Indo-China border tension appears to have eased now, but did the heightened tension between the Asian energy giants impact the trade and growth of the Fossil fuel sector?

India undertook a series of measures to apply diplomatic and economic pressure on China. India banned a number of Chinese smartphone apps from the country, including the globally popular apps Tik Tok and PUBG. Further, the COVID-19 economic slowdown in India resulted in a 11% decrease in trade (year-on-year) between China and India. 

India imports from China fell by 17.7%.

While the USA (under the harris-biden regime) intentionally abandons its energy infrastructure, closing down production of petroleum, natural gas and coal, China and India will be laughing at us.

It's easy to see which nations are going to become dominant on Earth -- probably by 2050, perhaps even earlier.
