China Pushes Ahead in Electric Vehicles and Global Trade

In September 2026, China is advancing its position in electric vehicles and global trade. The consulting firm Roland Berger says China is driving global electrification, and the country has set a goal of becoming a global auto powerhouse by 2030. China's target for 70% of new vehicles to be electric is expected to reduce oil demand. At the same time, business confidence among American Chamber of Commerce member companies in China has rebounded sharply, and Saudi Arabian firms are seeking deeper ties with China. China is also working on AI tools to combat telecom fraud and blockchain-related crimes.
