All right, we are live with Alexander Mercuris in London, and we are happy to have with us the one and only Cyrus Jansen and Alex from Reportify.

Gentlemen, thank you for joining us on this live stream.

We have two experts in energy and geopolitics in China.

They're experts in everything, Alexander.

So let's get to it because we have a lot to discuss a quick hello to everyone that is watching us on all the various platforms.

A shout out to our moderators.

And hello to the Duran community on locals,

that Duran.com. I have Alex's information in the description box where you can follow him.

I also have Cyrus's information in the description box where you can follow him.

I strongly suggest everyone subscribe to their channels.

Follow these two great, great analysts. And at the end of the live

stream, I will also pin their information on top as a pinned comment. So that's it for me,

Alexander. I pass it off to you. Well, can I first of all say that we are actually very privileged

at this critically important time

to be speaking to such absolutely heavyweight, fine, real experts in this matter

because you'll find all sorts of people out there who talk about these things,

both the energy situation in the world,

which is now developing rapidly,

and also, of course, the situation in China,

which is the subject of enormous amounts of misunderstanding,

and misreporting and conflicting information.

Anyway, we are very, very privileged on the Durant to have them both.
