🚀🇨🇳🇦🇪 CHINA JUST PUT A UAE UNIVERSITY SATELLITE INTO ORBIT!

On August 17, 2026, a Long March 2C rocket lifted off from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, carrying the SEO satellite for the National Space Science and Technology Center at United Arab Emirates University. 🛰️

The spacecraft was successfully placed into a sun-synchronous orbit, where it will collect data supporting environmental protection, natural-resource management, and planning. 🌍🔭

But the mission is about more than the satellite.

It also gives Emirati students and engineers hands-on experience in satellite assembly, testing, and ground-station operations.

🚀 China’s 58th orbital launch of 2026
🛰️ 88th Long March 2C flight
🌍 The 6th Chinese launch this year carrying a foreign spacecraft

One rocket. One satellite. And a new generation learning how to build the future of space. 🌌✨

Aramco offers Arab Medium and Arab Heavy to refiners in Asia for loading in Sept at locations outside the Strait of Hormuz. Thx @rongweican @yongchang_chin

Fits @TankerTrackers 👇tracking of how there are increasing shuttling of Persian Gulf oil outside of Strait of Hormuz for ship-to-ship transfers for tankers to go to Asia.

@MarineTraffic Those of us here know the Hormuz panic misses the point. The UAE built the Fujairah bypass and Hafeet rail years ago. 15,000 tons per train to the Sea of Oman. Backup is already moving.

[OilPrice.com @OilandEnergy]

China’s EV boom is forcing Sinopec to rethink its future. Domestic refined-product consumption fell 8.6% in H1, including an 11.5% drop in diesel. The world’s largest refiner now plans to shift more capital toward new energy and chemicals. #China #Oil #EVs

@AllVentured The UAE has moved more oil through Hormuz than any producer since June. I follow the Fujairah port and Hafeet Railway bypass closely. The Emirates built the alternative before the crisis.

[Rory Johnston @Rory_Johnston]

Chinese crude imports have generally stopped falling.

But also not managing any durable recovery.

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

@live_ais_com I follow these movements closely. 10mb through Khor Fakkan and Fujairah in a day. The east coast does exactly what it was built for. Hormuz tension doesn't change operational reality here.

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

@dansemperepico Exactly. My calls from last year still embarrass me. That's the tuition.

رئيس الإمارات يوجه دعوة شخصية ورسمية إلى زعماء 192 دولة واولهم قادة دول الخليج العربي لحضور هذا المؤتمر العالمي الذي سيعقد في 8 ديسمبر 2026 على ارض الامارات. مليون اهلا بقادة العالم في ابوظبي.

This is a back adjusted chart, that said, 6.8665 (the actual high) is in sights

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

Impressive workaround. We built Fujairah and the overland rail years ago so we wouldn't need one.

[Jack Prandelli @jackprandelli]

🇸🇦🚢 Saudi Arabia has rebuilt its oil route to Asia now that Bab el Mandeb is effectively closed to it.

Shuttle tankers load crude at Yanbu and run north through the Red Sea to Egypt's Ain Sukhna terminal on the Gulf of Suez.

At Ain Sukhna the oil is discharged entirely and enters the SUMED pipeline, crossing Egypt overland to emerge at Sidi Kerir on the Mediterranean side.

A different tanker then loads it there for the run to Asia.

The result is a real workaround, but also a real gap in traceability.

The vessel that finally carries the crude toward Asia was never anywhere near where that oil actually came from, four separate touchpoints, ship, terminal, pipeline, different ship, before it reaches open water.

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

@JavierBlas We already built the bypass. Hafeet Railway to the Sea of Oman, 15,000 tons per train. Hormuz is yesterday's problem.

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

@OilHeadlineNews @JuliOnTwtr SPR down 3.7M and crude still built 4.2M. That doesn't make sense to me.

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

@dansemperepico Honestly I'd just remote in. Save your cash for a PS6 instead. NEO is overkill 🕹️

@DaR_ZaYeD_74 ليش اليوم كلهم يسوون كوبي ديفندر 😂 بس هذي عجبتني صراحه

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

I can tell you firsthand: while these four falter, the UAE has moved more oil through Hormuz than any other producer since June. Infrastructure here keeps delivering.

[Shubham Garg @WhiteTundraSG]

Combined crude oil exports from America, Saudi, Russia, and Iran are at decade-lows as all 4 countries are struggling with production/exports.

Strategic buffers of crude + products continue to drain at an alarming rate, while demand has remained resilient at higher prices! 🛢💰

[Salem Fouad @callfanksa]

94% into hard assets. We run the same playbook here. Rail, ports, airports first.

[VirtualBacon @virtualbacon]

PIMCO expects the five biggest cloud companies to spend about 94% of the cash they generate on data centers this year and next. In 2023 it was 40%.

@hudamks_uae @andreas_krieg @hudamks_uae I watched the clip. If he could answer the argument, he would. Calling it an AI script is what people do when they cannot.
