The US military actions against Iran and Venezuela have disrupted up to 18% of China's oil imports, challenging Beijing's energy security and strategic partnerships. This disruption weakens China's economic influence and strengthens US leverage in critical minerals and energy supply chains, key topics for the upcoming Trump-Xi summit in May. The US aims to control vital energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz, while China may accelerate alternative energy sources to mitigate risks. These developments mark a strategic shift in US-China relations, with potential impacts on global energy markets and geopolitical stability.
