Well, the most perceivable end goal that I see from his analysis is to inform regular people. As for China, I have seen in XHS people talking about the gas prices and some others being happy about their EVs.
Regarding China’s dependency, it is still important for the analysis. Let me use a small graph from 2025 to contextualize this.
If we add Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iraq; we get a total of 31.7%. Now, we are missing to add the Venezuelan(4% aprox according to Reuters) and Iranian oil(13.4% aprox according to Reuters) to the mix to see how much is the total of oil that is no longer being shipped to China to see the total impact. Using this percentage for each respectively, we get a total of 49.1%. That’s a serious impact.
However, just like you, I am confident that China will be able to bypass this.
Sorry, I meant the end goal of the US blockade, not the end goal of the analysis, I should have clarified that. But thank you for the further context on this, that does indeed sound significant and I will look at it more closely tomorrow. 🙏
