Since the Chinese Communist Party announced the suspension of Australian coal imports on November 6, many parts of China have been short of power supply, and on the day of the winter solstice, the Communist Party’s State Council Information Office released a white paper on “China’s Energy Development in a New Era” and then began to pull the plug on power supply restrictions. From Zhejiang, Hunan and Jiangxi to Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing, widespread power outages across the country during this coldest of winters have caused people to cry out in distress.
However, the Chinese Communist Party says in its “white paper” that as China’s economy grows and its GDP increases, the installed capacity of power generators has been growing rapidly and consistently. It now has the world’s largest wind, hydropower, solar and coal power generation, as well as power grids.
Dr. Wang Weiluo, a famous water expert living in Germany, said in this regard that China has excess power generation capacity, but the utilization rate is only an unconscionable 35%. The utilization rate of hydro, wind, and solar power is affected by the weather and may be a bit low, but it cannot be that low. The reason is that the international price of coal has led to a shortage of power generation, and the companies supplying electricity are using this to blackmail the government into raising prices. The price of coal in Australia has increased by one-third from 600 yuan to 850 yuan per ton in 8 months, which is caused by the political reasons of the Chinese Communist Party.
Wang Weiluo: “The boss, of course, does not want to do, on your government to give me the number of indicators I will try to meet you, Li Keqiang you say how much production, I will produce so much, right. He only said, you Li Keqiang you put the price to me loose, for example, the coal side up how much, your side let me also increase the price of electricity, then I will generate electricity, right? The more I send the more I lose, the more I lose, who is fighting this price? It is China’s own political war to fight, right? This is not your own looking for things, no things looking for things? You let people’s ships, dozens of coal ships, there are tens of thousands of tons, more than 100,000 tons of coal-loaded ships, parked outside the Chinese port for 8 months, you the 8 months people run, how many trips can run ah right. He has to pay for each trip, you have to pay for the final unloading, you have to pay.”
Wang Weiluo said that Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said, “Do not artificially pull the plug.” This indicates that there is an artificial pulling of the switch. Because the Chinese Communist Party’s electricity is a monopoly, the economy is a planned economy rather than a market economy, and a planned economy is meant to intentionally create shortages.
Wang Weiluo: “In a market economy, if you have a shortage of electricity, I will give you, there will be a new fill up, right? There is a new boss he will invest, invest it will go up. But China is not. This electricity is a monopoly, electricity is a monopoly. It has divided China’s power supply companies into five power supply companies, but in fact they are all under the control of the National Development and Reform Commission, the price is also under the control of the National Development and Reform Commission. China’s power grid is a power grid, just one power grid company, because the WTO does not provide that the power grid can be several companies, it must prohibit your monopoly, then China will pretend to be not a monopoly.”
Wang Weiluo said that the Chinese Communist Party used to pretend to be a market economy for a while, but this year it threw out the “14th Five-Year Plan” and went back to the old way of planned economy because market economy threatens the stability of the Communist regime. The current shortage of electricity is a phenomenon of the planned economy.
Wang Weiluo: “So the market economy, many Taiwanese bosses go to the mainland to open stores, ah, you so big market. So why are so many Taiwanese bosses fleeing back now? Right or wrong. It is not a market economy there in the end, right. It does is a planned economy, it let you finish you are finished, so the bosses in Taiwan came back, and fled back. This Taiwan boss came to my mainland to produce things, you engage in market economy, you affect the stability of my regime ah. When is the regime most stable? It just think, you leave my government can not when it is the most stable.”
Wang Weiluo said that many economists recognize that the socialist economy is characterized by an artificially created lack of goods, causing a two-tier tear in society and serious inequality between rich and poor. It is always the people at the bottom, not the officials, who lament in the misery and suffering.
Wang Weiluo: “In fact, this piece of domestic electricity in China accounts for a very small piece of China’s electricity consumption, a very, very small piece. But it is also the weakest piece of all consumers inside the status. If it wants to shut down, he will shut down this piece of your domestic consumption first, it is only a few 20%. In other countries, the domestic electricity consumption nearly to 50% or more, the domestic electricity use more. And China is the use of electricity for domestic use less. China is the industrial use of electricity, followed by agricultural use of electricity, the least is the domestic use of electricity.”
Before the “White Paper” was released, Wang Weiluo found a strange news that China’s power grid owed huge debts and could not repay the loans. As an absolute monopoly, China’s power grid has no other company, and the only reason to create such a public opinion is to raise prices. Another earlier news from a scientific research report says that the cost of building installed Chinese generators doubled from 2012 to 2019. In fact, it is also preparing public opinion for the price increase.
In this regard, Wang Weiluo believes that the price of electricity in China is already very high, and the general public and poor households sometimes really can’t afford to use it. The government ripped around and kicked the ball, the people are just leeks under the sickle.
Wang Weiluo: “So in a situation where there is no market economy, you are in a monopoly situation, then you are the leeks under him. How he wants to harvest you how to harvest. You scream (suffering) is useless, right? Even if Shanghai is stopped, Beijing is stopped, it is only a part of the residential area, and that part of the residential area is certainly the worst income of those who live in the place, not those who live in our leaders. Our leaders how not to call (suffering) it, our leaders, because he will not feel this problem, right? Li Keqiang said “artificially pull the switch can not”, “artificially pull the switch can not”, (power company) he said, coal is too expensive, I can not afford to buy how to do, right, and kicked the ball back to Li Keqiang there.”
