The UAE going from a US-backed hydrocarbon-based sub-imperial contractor to a China-backed green energy sub-imperial contractor via Masdar may in fact be the geopolitical move of the century
Great thread about a new report on China's global investment in green energy transition.
The fact that $50bn (~25% of recent investment) is in the Gulf/MENA region underscores the ways in which China is winning the geo-economic competition there (with mid-term implications for petro-dollars?).

9/ The US is ceding the industries of the future to China while asking allies to do the same. Meanwhile, developing countries - representing most of global energy demand growth - are getting the manufacturing capacity they need from China instead.
