How China Took Over Batteries, Solar, AND the Entire AI Race in Just 10 Years

In 2015, the West laughed when China promised to “peak emissions before 2030.”
Ten years later, China doesn’t just dominate electric cars and solar panels — it quietly built the cheapest, most abundant clean electricity grid on Earth… and that grid is now powering the world’s largest AI training clusters.
This is the real story nobody is telling you:

How China went from less than 20% to 75–80% of global battery production in a decade
How it locked up 95% of solar polysilicon and 100% of wafers
How it built 42 ultra-high-voltage lines that move gigawatts 3,000 km with almost no loss
Why electricity is the new oil — and AI is the new Saudi Arabia
And how Beijing now holds the ultimate leverage over Tesla, Apple, Nvidia, and every frontier AI lab on the planet

If you thought the chip war was big, wait until you see the electricity war.
