China Sidesteps Solar Targets In New Five-Year Plan
China's latest five-year plan avoids setting ambitious solar targets, signaling rising challenges for the sector after years of explosive growth, according to Bloomberg.
Released during the annual National People's Congress, the plan does not include a goal for solar installations by 2030. That omission contrasts with clearer commitments elsewhere in the energy mix, including plans to double offshore wind capacity and expand nuclear and pumped-hydro power. Solar receives relatively little attention overall, while policymakers instead emphasize broader transition initiatives such as zero-carbon industrial parks.
The shift follows a record surge in solar development. China's solar power generation surpassed wind for the first time last year, driven by a flood of inexpensive panels that helped make solar one of the country's most competitive energy sources.
Yet the rapid expansion is beginning to strain the power system. As solar's share of...

|
|

Are Vessels Starting To Identify As "Chinese" To Transit Hormuz Chokepoint
A second China-linked bulk carrier broadcasted "CHINA OWNER_ALL CREW" while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning in an effort to reduce the risk of an IRGC drone or missile attack. We were the first to highlight this tactic late Wednesday night and believe it will only become more widespread within the commercial shipping community.
The Liberia-flagged Sino Ocean broadcasted "CHINA OWNER_ALL CREW" as it transited the narrowest stretch of the world's most critical maritime energy chokepoint early this morning.
The first instance of a bulk carrier broadcasting "CHINA OWNER" occurred last Wednesday night when the Iron Maiden changed its destination signal while transiting the waterway, hugging the Omani coastline.
There was an earlier report from New Delhi Television that said, "Iran has said it will allow only Chinese vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz...

British Lawmaker's Husband Arrested On Suspicion Of Spying For China
Weeks after China's mega-embassy opened in London (the one that's right next to all of their tappable communications cables), the husband of Labour Party whip Joani Reid was arrested over Chinese espionage concerns, prompting the lawmaker to step aside amid ongoing probes.

Reid's membership in the party is now under suspension while she remains an elected lawmaker, as her husband, 39-year-old David Taylor, was one of three men arrested on Wednesday under the National Security Act. The men allegedly assisted a Chinese intelligence agency.
In addition to Taylor, former Labour Party press officer Matthew Aplin and former Welsh government special advisor Steve Jones were identified as the other two who were arrested.
As the Epoch Times notes further, Reid stressed that she's not under i...
