Extremely sad to see TapTools go, they have been a great partner to us and their team is spectacular😢
We will try to continue their mission and be the homepage of Cardano trading on @DexHunterIO🫡
@Milajoy The swamp has removed the conservatives trying to limit government. You commies have won this round. We will not stop fighting to drain the swamp and take our country back from you swamp creatures.
@Sassafrass_84 You mean “conservatives”? It’s still hilarious a former Dem (Trump) has you convinced lifelong Republicans are the real RINOs… the ones voting against spending are RINO- but if you vote for debt and big government… you are a real one 😂😂😂
@MarioNawfal Commies love President Trump. His excursion into Iran helped facilitate more power and influence East. The commies love him, and he’s actively trying to oust people like Massie… who support the country and constitution.
Russia Spillover (Indirect China Win)
•Russia could get as much as $45 billion–$151 billion in additional budget revenues in 2026 depending on the conflict’s duration, strengthening Beijing’s most important strategic partner at no cost to China.
The commie are lining up and loving him. That should have been your first signal.
Happy to. It’s easing you follow global politics and economics. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how China is benefiting from the 2026 Iran war, organized by domain. Given your wealth management audience, I’ve flagged the threads with the strongest portfolio/macro implications.
1. Energy & Oil Economics
•Discounted oil at scale. Iran supplies roughly 13% of China’s oil imports under a 25-year cooperation agreement signed in 2021, securing $400 billion of oil at below-market prices in exchange for Chinese investment and security cooperation. 
•Sanctions arbitrage. China purchases roughly 95% of Iran’s oil exports, much of which Iran must sell at a discount due to sanctions risk, saving Beijing nearly $4 billion annually. 
•Pre-war stockpiling. In the first two months of 2026, Chinese oil imports surged 16% for stockpiling, and Russia exported roughly 300,000 barrels/day more to China in January and February. 
•Shadow logistics network. Even amid the war, China has continued importing Iranian oil from tankers parked across Southeast Asia, where the crude is often transferred ship-to-ship near Indonesia and Malaysia before moving on to Chinese “teapot” refineries. 
2. Currency & Financial System
•Petroyuan acceleration. Deutsche Bank: “The conflict could be remembered as a key catalyst for erosion in petrodollar dominance, and the beginnings of the petroyuan.” 
•CIPS transaction surge. Daily transactions on China’s CIPS settlement network jumped from $85–105 billion to more than $130 billion coinciding with the start of the 2026 Iran conflict. 
•Yuan-denominated Hormuz tolls. Iran has announced plans to introduce tariffs in the Strait of Hormuz payable in yuan as a form of war reparations, with payments reportedly already made by vessels going to China, India and Japan. 
•Reserve currency erosion narrative. For the first time since 1996, global central banks hold more gold in their reserves than US debt securities, with China, India and Brazil all reducing US holdings in 2025. 
•Bond market knock-on. If more oil proceeds are held in non-dollar currencies, it will provoke turbulence in the dollar-denominated bond market, which is the heart of the global financial system. 

3. Military Intelligence Windfall
•Free reconnaissance on US capabilities. The war has given China a live demonstration of US military capabilities. By observing, the Chinese military has gained a trove of information about US weaponry, decision-making cycles, and use of artificial intelligence that it might put to use in future conflicts in Taiwan or elsewhere. 
•Tactical lessons for Taiwan. China has likely learned about how the US intercepts cruise and ballistic missiles, and in a conflict might adjust strike density to overwhelm US defenses or modify sequencing to exploit reloading windows. 
•Commercial satellite intel pipeline. Iran’s strikes against American military assets have likely benefited from intelligence gathered by Chinese-based commercial satellite providers, allowing Beijing to tacitly direct the war’s escalation dynamics via commercial contracts rather than forward deployments. 
•Material support without combat exposure. China has focused on diplomatic mediation and limited material assistance, such as spare parts for missiles, enabling Iran to sustain its defenses without escalating to broader confrontation. 
4. Geopolitical Repositioning
•US strategic distraction from Asia. China could benefit if the United States is drawn into a protracted war in the Middle East, which could divert US troops, ships and other military resources away from Asia. 
•Gulf hedging behavior. The war has changed the Gulf’s perception of the benefits of hedging at a time of increased Chinese diplomatic involvement, with the appetite for Chinese investment, products and diplomacy much increased. 

@SuperSarge_TD@bennyjohnson You commies would think that. When a commie thinks a capitalist is a retard, I’m doing something right. You cucks love you some Marxism. They love him right?
@MarioNawfal The Chineese have a lot to be thankful for. Trump’s Iranian excursion has led to a massive shift in power and influence east toward China.
