All require the “electric stack.” China has mastered it, becoming the first “electrostate.” The United States is ceding it, cementing the country’s status as the world’s largest petrostate. In 2026, that divergence will become impossible to ignore. While Washington asks countries to buy 20th-century energy, Beijing offers 21st-century infrastructure at knockoff prices. Emerging markets will increasingly favor China’s offering. The cumulative effect is a geopolitical turning point: A growing share of the world’s energy, mobility, and industrial systems will be built on Chinese foundations, bringing Beijing commercial benefits and influence that soft power alone could never deliver. The AI race raises the stakes—the US may build the best models, but China may win the market if it can power and deploy AI at scale.
