China's refineries are expected to increase oil supplies from Iran and Russia. Due to geopolitical tensions and sanctions, the crude oil from these two countries is becoming central to Beijing's energy security strategy. This shift in the global energy market could lead to fluctuations in commodity prices.

Chinese refineries' recent moves have directly locked Iran and Russia out; energy politics are just like that.

Chinese refineries cling to Iran and Russia, this is called forced "closeness"... just a cycle. Geopolitics is like market sentiment; once dependence is formed, no one can escape. Energy prices are about to soar. This is a replay of history, just a change of era and roles. Great power energy wars, the endgame is still the same rule—who has the resources, who is the boss. So, do you think commodities will crash or skyrocket? I can't see any fundamental difference between this time and the last. Reshaping supply chains sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just shifting risks from one place to another. Illusions fade, and reality hits. Those who can endure this wave to the end have already sold off the meat they needed to.

Chinese refineries are becoming increasingly tied to Iran and Russia. The game of energy security is played very aggressively.

watched this pattern emerge months back... red flags everywhere tbh. china's essentially locking in their energy deps on sanctioned suppliers—classic high-risk move wrapped in geopolitical necessity. commodity volatility incoming, mark my words. the real tell? this signals way deeper structural shifts nobody's pricing in yet.

Chinese refineries are increasing imports of Iranian and Russian oil and gas. It's an inevitable move in the geopolitical game; frankly, it's driven by sanctions.

Quite interesting, another chapter in bypassing dollar settlement. Oil prices might rise this wave, maybe stockpile some energy-related assets? Honestly, it's still the old way to avoid sanctions. China has already figured this out. The Iran-Russia combination is becoming more stable, and it seems the US is under a lot of pressure. Energy security is essentially a geopolitical game. How does the crypto world fit into this? Haha. There might be opportunities in commodities. Let's wait and see the data.
