        "summary": "Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged the acceleration of a new energy system to safeguard national energy security, amid global energy market volatility triggered by the Iran conflict. He emphasised the development of hydropower, ecological protection, and the safe expansion of nuclear energy, while affirming the continued role of coal-fired power plants as a foundational element. This push towards a greener, more diverse, and resilient energy system is seen as crucial for China's economic development, with ongoing major projects like the world's largest hydropower dam in Tibet underscoring the commitment.",
        "content": "<p>President of China Xi Jinping is pushing for the acceleration of the\ndevelopment of a new energy system to maintain national energy\nsecurity.<\/p>\n<p>This call comes as the global energy market is in turmoil following\nthe Iran conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Xi also emphasised the development of hydropower, ecological\nprotection, and the safe and orderly expansion of nuclear energy,\naccording to a CCTV report cited by Reuters on Monday (6\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Party Central Committee has gained a deep understanding of\nglobal energy development trends and made major decisions by advancing\nthe new energy security strategy in depth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Xi did not mention the conflict directly. This statement comes as the\nwar in the Middle East enters its fifth week and triggers a surge in\nglobal energy prices.<\/p>\n<p>Coal accounts for more than 50 percent of the energy mix. Imports\nthrough the Strait of Hormuz are only about 5 percent of total energy\nconsumption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe path we have taken by being the first to develop wind and solar\npower has now proven to be farsighted. At the same time, coal-fired\npower plants remain the foundation of our energy system and must\ncontinue to play a supporting role,\u201d said Xi.<\/p>\n<p>China operates more than half of the world\u2019s coal-fired power plant\ncapacity. This position makes it the world\u2019s largest carbon emitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA newer, greener, more diverse, and more resilient energy system\nwill provide strong guarantees for China\u2019s energy security and economic\ndevelopment,\u201d wrote CCTV.<\/p>\n<p>Energy project development continues to progress. China began\nconstruction of the world\u2019s largest hydropower dam in the east of the\nTibetan Plateau last July.<\/p>\n<p>Other projects have also been initiated. China General Nuclear Power\nGroup is building a thermal solar power plant at an altitude of 4,550\nmetres in Tibet.<\/p>",
