🌏 China Is the Anvil — and the World Is Being Reshaped Around It

When the United States exiled Iran from the global economy,
Iran — the holder of the second or third largest oil and gas reserves in the world — didn’t stop producing energy.

That oil didn’t vanish.
It just started flowing to China —
over 50% of China’s oil now comes from Iran,
massively discounted.

Then the U.S. sanctioned Russia and told Europe to stop buying Russian energy.
That energy didn’t disappear either.
It also flowed to China.

Here’s what’s happening:
The United States is the hammer.
It swings sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs around the world.

But China is the anvil.
And as any metalsmith knows — it’s the anvil that shapes the metal.

China isn’t doing the striking.
It’s reshaping the world order because of what the hammer is doing.
