I suppose that the specifics of what I said were mistaken, but the general sentiment remains the same. It doesn't seem like this conflict will last as long as the embargo, and when one of the largest investors into new technologies has firmly refused to acknowledge the necessities of renewables, progress and adoption will certainly slow down.

"... when one of the largest investor into new technologies ..."

No. Sorry but China has not firmly refused to acknowledge the necessity of renewables. Quite the contrary, actually.
