Could the Iran war could actually strengthen China’s energy position?

Today, POLITICO Energy host Nirmal Mulaikal sits down for an extended interview with Jason Bordoff, the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University and a former senior director for energy and climate change on the National Security Council during the Obama administration. They discuss why the war in the Middle East could — contrary to conventional wisdom — actually strengthen China’s energy dominance in the long-run, along with the conflict’s implications for Europe, the global clean energy transition, and whether there are historical precedents that might help explain what’s happening in the energy sector today. ----------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel!    / @politico   Check out our video catalog: https://www.politico.com/video Follow POLITICO here: ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/ ➤ Instagram:   / politico   ➤ Facebook:   / politico
