🧵How state owned are China’s banks? Private & foreign banks only own 2% of China’s domestic banking assets!
The scale and scope of credit control by the CPC, shouldn't be underestimated, with the vast majority of banks operating under the Party's control
In terms of banking profits, 87% of profits generated by China's banks were funneled back into the “real economy”, a big portion in the form of dividends was distributed to state-owned entities, which acted as fiscal spending/investment in the real economy. Another to citizens via stock. Retained capital indirectly supports the real sector by leveraging credit and bond purchases to the real sector again.
🧵HOW CHINA’S STATE LED SYSTEM LEADS IN NUCLEAR ENERGY WHILE THE REST OF THE WORLD STALLS
While the rest of the world stagnates, China thrives on nuclear. By 2030, China is expected to be the top producer of nuclear energy.⬇️
China also leads in Nuclear fusion & Gen IV nuclear fission. With countless innovative key projects run by state firms, demonstrating its lead over the rest of the world
The scale and speed of Beijing’s crusade is hard to overstate. China approved its first nuclear power station in 1981. BloombergNEF now expects the country to leapfrog France and the US by 2030. In an age when few new reactors are built at all, China has 30 under construction. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

🧵CHINA WILL BUILD THE WORLD'S FIRST THORIUM MOLTEN SALT NUCLEAR POWER STATION IN 2025
Construction will begin in 2025, expecting to begin operations by 2029, with an output of 60 MW. From 2030, construction will begin on 100MW variants, and potentially thorium powered ships
Thorium reactors are much safer, produce less radioactive waste (of which has a shorter half life), don’t require water for cooling (as it uses liquid salt or Co2) and operate at a normal pressure, relative to Uranium reactors.

🧵CHINA FURTHERS STATE-LED NUCLEAR EXPANSION AND TECHNOLOGICAL BREAKTHROUGHS
The construction of 11 nuclear reactors was approved this month. Progress has also been made in the R&D of key technologies, particularly in automated uranium mining via state owned firms and universities
The State Council greenlit the new reactors in sites spread across Jiangsu, Shandong, Guangdong, Zhejiang and Guangxi. Most of which are going to be China’s domestic design with more than 90% localization, the Hualong-1, costing about 31 billion USD in total.

🚨🧵🇨🇳 HOW CHINA’S WARSHIPS ARE 20 YEARS MORE ADVANCED THAN THE WESTS:
China is reviving Edison's vision of direct current (DC) power, applying it to modern warships via the IPS system for improved efficiency and combat capabilities. Giving it an advantage over Western warships
When there is a serious mishap on a modern warship’s power grid, such as a short circuit or equipment damage, it is sometimes necessary to reconstruct the entire power grid to isolate the fault and restore power to the rest of the ship.
