The Chinese people are not beholden to BP or Exxon or any of the other vampires. The people own the oil.

They are organized, and plan accordingly. They are not enslaved to the profit machine, which they use as a tool. In the West the profit machine owns us.

Meanwhile, they plunge ahead on wind, solar, hydrogen, and electric.

Some lessons we could learn.
