As for the main cause of the blackout in Guangzhou, it is suspected that it was caused by the trade war between China and Australia. According to the Chinese online financial outlet “Yun Finance”, there have been recent reports of power outages and power outages in many places in China. Australia’s coal imports were suspended as of today, causing a shortage of coal for power generation.
Since the deterioration of relations between the two countries, it has been reported that in mid-November, Chinese customs temporarily suspended several Australian coal freighters from entering the port to unload, suspecting that they had launched a boycott of the Australian media. In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China explained at that time that “the quality of Australian coal There is a problem”, it is suspected that indirectly confirms this message,
“Cloud Finance” noted that China is still dominated by thermal power generation, of which Australian coal accounts for about 57% of China’s imports. If you don’t import Australian coal, you need to find alternatives quickly, otherwise it is likely to cause severe shortages in some areas. .
