    China's oil and gas consumption isn't gonna rise no matter how much stimulus a Trump deal brings, they're already past peak gas with electric vehicles.

      Not that fast. 90% of Chinese vehicles are still ICE. Consumption is low right now, they aren’t buying enough of the EVs yet. And you have to think beyond EVs - industrial production scaling up will also consume a huge amount of oil and gas. If China wants to keep meeting their growth target, consumption has to go up.
