Xi chairs CPC meeting on energy security

Chinese President Xi Jinping chaired a Communist Party of China meeting focused on strengthening the country's energy security. The meeting aimed to address vulnerabilities in China's energy supply chain, particularly in light of ongoing global disruptions such as the US naval blockade of Iran. No specific policy measures were announced following the meeting, but the emphasis on energy security signals a strategic priority for Beijing. The move is part of broader efforts to insulate China's economy from external shocks.
