Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Oil hit $100 again. For decades, regional conflicts have triggered price spikes—but China's energy market stays steady.

Why? Strategic reserves of 1.2–1.3 billion barrels. Diversified import routes. Over 30% of end-use energy from electricity. Coal-to-chemicals at scale, plus hydro, solar, wind and nuclear. Decades of quiet planning, not luck.

That's China's real energy security: built step by step, not shaken by a crisis.
