Chinese oil tankers are arriving in Venezuela and coming up empty. Exactly what the US was looking for

by

The map of world power has been redrawn in just one week. What began as a military operation to capture Nicolás Maduro has transformed into an energy earthquake that has left an image for history: the gigantic Chinese supertankers, which for years were the financial lifeline of Caracas, turning around in the middle of the Atlantic. A U-turn in international waters. The ships Xingye and Thousand Sunny —two supertankers (VLCC) with the Chinese flag—have definitively abandoned their course towards Venezuela. As confirmed by the South China Morning Post (SCMP)After weeks of inactivity and uncertainty anchored in the ocean, these colossi return to Asia empty. These ships are not just any oil tankers. According to Reutersare part of a group of three ships dedicated exclusively to the Venezuela-China route to transport the crude oil destined to pay the gigantic Venezuelan external debt. Its withdrawal is the clearest sign that the South American country, now under US control, will not export crude oil directly to its main buyer in the short term. The embargo that Trump does not lift. Although the US president stated last week that China “would not be deprived” of Venezuelan oil, the reality in the ports is different. According to SCMPChina has not received shipments from the state-owned PDVSA since last month, while Washington insists that the oil embargo remains in force. Where does the oil go then? While the Chinese ships return empty, the giants of the trading Global companies such as Vitol and Trafigura are already preparing the first shipments of a $2 billion deal to move 50 million barrels accumulated in inventory. the destiny, as reported by Reutersit will be the United States and other markets like India. China could receive part of this oil, but only if it negotiates with these intermediaries, thus losing its direct and preferential access to the benefit of the discounts it obtained. through its independent refineries or “teapots”. The bill that no one wants to pay. After the euphoria of the military takeover, a financial dilemma of billion-dollar proportions looms. Venezuelan oil has been takenbut it is mortgaged. China financed railways and power plants for decades through more than 600 bilateral agreements. Regarding the debt, the figures estimate around 10,000 million dollars, although other calculations of think tanks they increase the historical debt to more than 60,000 million, much of it structured under the “oil for loans” model. However, the great fear in Beijing is that the new government led by Trump will invoke the doctrine of “hateful debt”. As pointed out expert Cui Shoujunthis legal recourse would allow the new executive to repudiate the loans alleging that the Chinese money did not benefit the people, but rather served to keep the Maduro regime in power. Outrage in Beijing. The response from the Asian giant is firm and has not been long in coming. The official China Daily media has qualified Maduro’s capture and the January 3 military intervention as a “flagrant hegemonic invasion” and an act of “neocolonialism.” In editorials signed by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the US is accused of using “hard force” to trample international norms and send a message of fear to the rest of the Latin American countries that seek an independent path. A treasure in ruins. The capture of Maduro has put the largest crude oil deposit in the world in the hands of Washington, but the trophy comes with a fine print that could break global financial balances. The infrastructure that the US now inherits It is literally in ruins: Loading an oil tanker today takes five days compared to the only day that was enough seven years ago, and the crude oil arrives “dirty” (with excess salt and water). Reconstruction will require $10 billion annually for a decade. The battle in Venezuela is no longer fought with soldiers, but in the offices where it will be decided who pays the Chinese debt and who repairs PDVSA’s rusty pipes. Meanwhile, the ships Xingye and Thousand Sunny They move away from the Caribbean, symbolizing the end of an era.

Russian oil never stopped arriving in Europe and this 30-year-old German knows it well because he has earned millions by supporting the system.

by

JR Ewing, the oil magnate dallasused to repeat that “the essential thing in this business was to always be one step ahead.” If I lived in 2025, I probably wouldn’t be wearing a Texan hat: I’d be a trader in my late 30s with a laptop, a rented office in Dubai, and a German passport. And perhaps he would look a lot like Christopher Eppinger, the young man who, according to an extensive report in the Financial Timeshas managed to become a millionaire by speculating with sanctioned Russian oil while Europe proclaimed from the rooftops that it was breaking dependence on the Kremlin. Because while Brussels talked about “energy sovereignty” and announced price caps, a parallel ecosystem of nomadic traders, ghost fleets and opaque companies continued to move millions of barrels away from the official radar. In that underground of the global economy, Eppinger found his opportunity. The sanctioned oil never stopped flowing; It simply stopped being visible. And he knew how to make it profitable. When a door closes. Christopher Eppinger, marked since childhood by the chapters of dallas that he saw with his grandmother, he found in the war a window to get rich. The young German moved with the same logic that much more veteran intermediaries have used for decades: special purpose companies in the United Arab Emirates, triangulated operations with India or China, sales contracts for discounted crude oil and the logistics of a ghost fleet that operates on the margins of maritime law. While European governments presented sanctions in solemn press conferences, he took advantage of every crack in the system to buy low and resell high. He didn’t need his own ships, or infrastructure, or even physically touching a barrel: it was enough to know where the opportunities were and who didn’t want to look too closely. Showing an uncomfortable truth. The story of this young German is not an anecdote, but evidence that the sanctioning system never acted as intended. Organization reports like Public Eye show that, between 2023 and 2024 alone, newly created companies or companies relocated to Dubai accounted for more than half of the Russian oil exported by sea, displacing traditional centers such as Switzerland and Singapore. According to Bloombergkey figures in the energy trade, such as Murtaza Lakhani, helped Rosneft reconfigure its export chains through the Emirates to keep flows active despite sanctions. And while much of Europe tried to break ties with Moscow, some countries —like Hungary and Slovakia— took advantage of exceptions to continue receiving crude oil and gas through the Druzhba pipeline. Energy dependence, far from being broken, fragmented into a more chaotic, less transparent and more vulnerable system. In this environment, profiles like Eppinger’s are not only possible: they are almost inevitable. The recipe for enrichment. Eppinger’s method follows a clear logic that the Financial Times details precisely. The first step is to move to Dubai, which has become the “Desert Ireland”thanks to minimal taxation, thousands of special purpose companies created in record time and a confidentiality regime that allows operations without revealing the beneficial owner. The United Arab Emirates does not apply sanctions against Moscow and serves as a perfect platform to move cargo, contracts and dividends without European surveillance. The second pillar is the ghost fleet: hundreds of aging, poorly insured oil tankers, with registrations in opaque countries and with transponders that turn off just when the ship approaches a Russian cargo. These ships They are the heart of parallel trade which has kept Russia exporting above the $60 limit imposed by the G7. The third consists of the Offshore transfers and triangulations. The scheme is simple: buy cheap Russian crude, transfer it to another tanker in international waters, mix it or rename it “Malaysian” or “Indian”, and resell it at an international price. A digital business, fast and — above all — difficult to track. And the fourth element is the ambiguous tolerance of the West. As Bloomberg has detailedthe United States avoided acting harshly for months to avoid causing a global rise in the price of oil. In the EU, exceptions and loopholes allowed non-European companies, although controlled by Europeans, to operate without restrictions. Eppinger moved precisely in that gray space: a legally ambiguous but economically explosive territory. The great gray void where everything is possible. The short answer is: it depends. The long answer is more uncomfortable. According to regulators cited in the different sources, an operation can be technically legal if Russian oil is purchased below the price ceiling, transported to a country that does not apply sanctions and is executed from a legally established entity outside the EU. Switzerland even recognizedaccording to Public Eye— that subsidiaries of Swiss companies established in Dubai are not subject to Swiss sanctioning legislation, as long as they are formally “independent.” This legal architecture allows traders like Eppinger to act without violating the letter of the law, even if they clearly violate its spirit. The question is not so much whether what you do is legal, but why it is possible to do it. Will there be consequences? The cracks in the system are beginning to produce visible effects. On the military front, Ukraine has expanded the war towards Russian energy infrastructure: attacking refineries thousands of kilometers from the front and disabled tankers linked to sanctioned crude oil trading. Russia has lost around 13% of its refining capacity and several regions have suffered queues and gasoline rationing, according to the Financial Times. On the diplomatic and economic level, according to BloombergWashington is already studying specific sanctions against intermediaries in the Emirates, while the United Kingdom has begun to penalize marketing companies with opaque property registered in Dubai. In Europe, pressure is growing on countries that continue to receive Russian energy by land, such as Hungary and Slovakia, identified as leakage points in the system. Eppinger’s business, like that of many others, could have its days numbered if the regulatory fence tightens. For now, it is still profitable. Russia gets richer while Europe … Read more

In 1982 Seiko created a watch for making calls and watching television. His only problem was arriving too early

by

History is full of devices that were ahead of their time. I am not referring to literary or cinematographic machines like the tablet by Kubrick or the multiple predictions from Verne, but to other devices that were put on sale decades ago and now we realize that they are very similar to some of the latest gadgets on the market. One of these inventions was Seiko TV Watch. In its day this rarity was considered and recognized as the smallest television in the worldand even made appearances in some movies, but today no one can miss its striking resemblance to current smart watches, and in a way we could say that we are facing a distant relative. The history of this device began in 1972, but the first step was not taken by Seiko but by another North American company called Hamilton. They were the creators of Press P1the first digital wrist watch in history. The Japanese they acquired to Americans, and they embarked on their own path into the digital age by launching their first watch of this type in 1973. At that time it was said that society was moving towards a revolution in visual information, and to join it with its new range of watches the japanese company started to work on the research and development of liquid crystal panels (LCD) with active matrix that were capable of reproducing moving images. Over the following years, these efforts helped their watches become increasingly smaller and thinner, with higher component density and more energy efficient. They were also implementing new functions such as stopwatches and calculators. After three years of development and hundreds of millions of yen invested, the summer of 1982 Seiko advertisement in Tokyo a new watch. It was about TV Watchthe first to finally allow us to watch television on our wrist. This was Seiko’s TV Watch A watch that you can watch television on. Today this concept seems simple, but back then being able to carry it out was a little more complicated. The TV Watch was made up of three different elements that had to be connected together for it to work. The result was a science fiction product, yes, but a little uncomfortable to wear. On the one hand we had the clock, but we had to connect it to a radio and television receiver the size of a walkman. We also needed headphones, and these also had to be connected to the signal receiver. And how could you carry so much cable with you in a fairly comfortable way? Well, very simple, pay attention to this drawing that appeared in your manual. As you can see, the trick was to put the receiver cable under the sleeve to connect it to the watch. But in case we didn’t want to complicate our lives, the TV Watch also had a function to listen only to the audio of television broadcasts. The watch itself had dimensions of 40 x 49 x 10 millimeters and a weight of 80 grams, and all its magic was concentrated in its innovative 1.2-inch white and blue LCD screen with a resolution of 32k pixels and 10 shades of gray. I also had a second smallest screen in which we could see the time, set the alarm and use the stopwatch as with any other digital watch. During the presentation of the device, its creators had to give certain explanations about how they had achieved such ingenuity. They said their new panels controlled the molecular arrangement of liquid crystal within an electric field, and that this made it possible to create miniature images with very low power consumption. Especially when compared to the cathode ray tubes of conventional televisions. The receiver measured 74.5 x 125 x 19 millimeters and weighed 140 grams. This made it too big to carry in a back pocket, but perfect for the inside jacket pocket. Its battery consisted of two AA batteries that gave it a range of five hours, and it tuned both FM radio and television on VHF & UHF channels. What could have been and was not The TV Watch arrived on the Japanese market in December 1982 with a single DXA001 model that cost 108,000 yen, although a second, cheaper DXA002 model was later released. The difference between the two was that the second included a hearing aid instead of headphones, and its price dropped to 98,000 yen. In exchange, these two models today would be worth around 600 and 500 euros respectively. The presentation of the device managed to generate a lot of interest, and the watch made front pages of newspapers and headlines on television. It was considered an innovative product for allowing us access a large amount of information in real timeand it attracted so much attention that a year later it also ended up reaching the US market. Errr, okay? During its launch in Japan, Seiko managed to sell 2,200 units, and the president of the company’s North American subsidiary said that the reception from the American media had been so good that he believed he could sell all the ones they manufactured. This optimism translated into the production of between 15,000 and 20,000 units ready for export. But not everyone saw the TV Watch as an invention destined to revolutionize the market. In fact, it is known that at Sony they came to say that their laboratories had the capacity to develop a similar product, but that They didn’t think there was a big enough market. for this type of devices. In the end it turns out that they were right, and the watch did not end up becoming a successful product. In the TV Watch curriculum we find several dates indicated. In 1982 he won the Nikkei Award for Superior Quality Products and Services, and a year later he made an appearance in Octopussythe new James Bond movie. The watch culminated its career in 1984 by entering the Guinness Book of Records as … Read more

With Waymo’s self -employed cars we are arriving at a legal absurdity: driverless infractions

by

San Bruno police, a Californian city, He stopped a Waymo Robotaxi after making a prohibited turn at a traffic lightbut he had to let him go without sanction: the Californian law does not contemplate fine vehicles without driver. Why is it important. This episode has revealed a legal vacuum that may seem anecdotal now – a simple illegal turn – but that raises a much more serious issue: who responds to a deadly accident caused by an autonomous car? The context. California allows the circulation of autonomous vehicles for years, but its traffic code has not been updated so fast. Circulation fines require identifying a responsible driver. If there is no driver, there is no possible sanction. The agents contacted Alphabet, the Waymo matrix, but could not issue any citation. “Our fine forms do not have a” robot ‘box “, the police department has recognized in Your Facebook profile. He has said that he is “preparing legislation that will allow agents to issue notices to the company.” It is expected that Between in force in July 2026. Between the lines. The problem is not technical but political and judicial. Technology companies have deployed their robotaxis fleets faster than legislators have been able to adapt the laws. And that gap not only generates absurd situations such as this, but it leaves citizens unprotected against serious accidents. The big question. If a waymo mortally runs over a pedestrian, who is going to trial? The algorithm? The engineer who scheduled it? The CEO of the company? For now, nobody has an answer. However, we must distinguish between criminal responsibility – who goes to jail – and civil liability: In the event of a deadly outrage, the victim’s family would not face a no legal exit. His demand would have a perfectly identified recipient: the company, Waymo, as the final head of the vehicle. The objective in that trial would not be a prison sentence, but a millionaire compensation for the damages caused, based on established concepts such as the responsibility for defective product or business negligence. The real vacuum is not if someone would pay for the damage, but how to adapt a criminal code designed for humans to the autonomous decisions of a machine. In perspective. This legal vacuum is not exclusive to California. As autonomous vehicles extend around the world, the legal systems of dozens of countries will have to solve the same dilemma: how to sanction machines that cannot declare, cannot be imprisoned and technically have no will.

They don’t stop arriving tourists to swim with wild orcs

by

That clamor in many enclaves that has ended up calling as “tourist” He had reached the most remote places on the planet. They were no longer just the paradisiacal beaches, the “adventurer” went much further entering into areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq either Albania. In fact, Even Antarctica He had been the subject of the hordes eager for new experiences. What surely few ventured was that swimming with Orcas was going to become “must.” Dancing with cetaceans. I told it in A report the Guardian this week. Every morning in the window, a quiet coastal town of Baja California Sur, dozens of tourists in neoprene costumes go up Guided boats by local fishermen or by tourist operators from large nearby cities such as Cabo San Lucas or La Paz. Your goal: swim with wild orcs. An ecological crisis: What began as a unique and inspiring experience has become, according to many veteran experts and operators, into an uncontrolled activity that threatens both the safety of people and the well -being of animals. In absence of formal regulationup to 40 vessels can converge on the same group of orcs, especially between May and June, the months of greatest activity. The popularity of the phenomenon has exploded since 2019driven by networks, and has exposed A legal vacuum In Mexican legislation: although there are laws that protect threatened marine species, none explicitly prohibits swimming with dentated cetaceans such as … orcs. Invisible risks. Although there has never been a wild orca attack on humans, marine biologists warn that excessive and messy contact can cause defensive reactions. Plus and even more worrying: the cumulative effect of engines’s noise and the constant human presence on resident orc interferred by tourist activity. According to He explained to the Guardian Captain Juan Vásquez, with more than two decades at sea, these animals “will remember being harassed” and could stop visiting the area. Despite this, economic pressure is high: marine life tourism is a crucial source of income and few wish to limit it. Even vessels without insurance or license participate in these excursions, competing with better established operators that even guarantee meetings with orcs to ensure reservations. A pioneering plan. Given the lack of clear regulations, a group of responsible scientists and operators (including the Marine Biologist Georgina Saad and the documentary filmmaker Erick Higuera) have proposed the First Management Plan of Orcas in Mexico based not only on numerical fees but on the behavior of animals. The plan, which expects government approval this summer, would limit the interaction to Three boats per group of Orcas, with a maximum of nine daily vessels, and would require official permits. In addition, it states that guides and captains learn to identify Stress signals In cetaceans to know when to retire. Each Orca can be recognized by its unique dorsal fin, which would facilitate a record of sightings and interactions. Plus: Part of permits income would finance local patrols and training, establishing a sustainable model that prioritizes both conservation and education. Local tensions. However, the implementation of the plan is not exempt from controversy. Many captains and local families feel that they have not taken into account. Accuse that permits will end favoring large companies of Cabo and La Paz, displacing those who have lived from marine tourism for generations. In addition, they criticize that the plan is focused exclusively on The windowwhen both orcs and tourists already move throughout the peninsula. For SaadHowever, concentrating the regulation on the window is key to establishing a legal and operational precedent. “We can send the message that this is the only place where you can swim with orcs, and that is how it should be done. Everything else would be illegal.” A fine line. In summary, and despite the divisions, in the report they concluded that a large majority agrees that the solution is not to prohibit, but educate. Evans Baudinpioneer in this type of experiences and critic with the current “circus”, insists that the essential thing is to do things well: protect the orcs and continue offering respectful and safe encounters. For its part, the window is at a crossroads: either it becomes responsible tourism model or symbol of how a viral fashion can even damage the most imposing giants of the ocean. The success of the plan will depend not only on the rules imposed, but on the collective will to take care of what everyone says they want: creatures.

The US suspects that Nvidia chips are arriving in China through Malaysia: it has decided to take action on the matter

by

The United States and China fight an increasingly aggressive commercial war. In this pulse, both have imposed export controls to protect strategic sectors. Washington focuses on the most advanced chips, While Beijin responds with critical minerals restrictions. They seem firm measures, but everything indicates that they are not being fulfilled to the letter. Chinese is avoiding restrictions. At the beginning of last year we learned that the popular liberation army He had managed to do with the most powerful NVIDIA GPUs, among which were the GPU A100 and H100. This was particularly relevant because the export of these products is prohibited by the US Department of Commerce. {“Videid”: “X8WLH9Q”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “United States vs. China: The chips war”, “Tag”: “Webedia-prod”, “Duration”: “1611”} And they were not only the Chinese armed forces: also universities and research centers controlled by the government were using prohibited products. Washington believes that this has been possible by different ways, but concluded that the main channel were intermediary countries that collaborate with the Asian giant. First Singapore, now Malaysia. As The Economist points out, Singapore was one Of the countries that raised suspicions, simply because the figures did not square. In the last quarter of 2023, Nvidia multiplied by five shipments to customers in Singapore compared to the same period of the previous year, which suggested a possible detour to Chinese users. HGX H200, one of Nvidia’s most advanced products Now the focus is in Malaysia. According to Financial TimesThe United States suspects that many of the Nvidia chips enter the country end up in Chinese hands, avoiding current commercial restrictions. Given this scenario, Washington has begun to press the Malaysian government to control the trail of these latest generation chips. Tracking shipments is not so easy. The Minister of Commerce, Tengku Zafrul Aziz, has taken note of the requirement of the US and, he explains, has formed an interministerial working group to collaborate. However, he warns, that tracing chips shipments along the supply chain is not as simple as it seems and that it is a broad effort. Malaysia has become One of the great world epicenters of data centers, which explains the massive arrival of chips for the facilities that support companies such as Microsoft or Bytedance, the Tiktok matrix. According to Aziz, Washington is also promoting internal measures to reinforce control over the supply chain. In Xataka The general director of AMD is in China with one purpose: to snatch the AI ​​market to NVIDIA Waiting for results. For now, it remains to be seen if the pressure of the North American country will take effect. Malaysia has reasons to cooperate: a commercial retaliation could put its flourishing data centers at risk. Fulfill could simply be a way to protect your strategic position on the global technological map. The US does not want to give the arm to twist. The United States is doing everything possible to limit China’s access to avant -garde chips, mainly because of the Dual use risk: civil technologies that can also be applied in the military field. The concern is that these advances end up reinforcing the defensive and offensive abilities of the Chinese army.

We already know why mobile phones with 6,000Mah are not arriving in Europe: there is a clear responsible

by

He Xiaomi 15 Ultra It is already in our hands. Your hardware is impressive: it has the Best Qualcomm processora camera system that paints spectacular and a software enhanced by AI (which high range can afford to do it). But there is a specification that collided: its 5.410mah battery. In China, the phone is sold with a 6,000Mah battery, a remarkably greater capacity than that of its European twin brother. Daniel Desjarlais, head of communication globally at Xiaomi, has dissipated us personally. We already know why the European model has a smaller battery. The two versions. The Xiaomi Ultra 15 is almost the same as the Chinese model. There is a small difference at the software level, since the Chinese ROM does not have Google services, much less with the new integration with Gemini that they have released on this phone. However, the model that lands in Europe does so with a 5.410mah battery. It is a considerable size, but far from what its Chinese variant offers. Cost savings. The explanation is simple and clear: cost savings. Xiaomi has not given concrete figures on how percent the cost of bringing a 6,000Mah battery device but, at least at this time, is significant enough so that they cannot reach Europe. “The 6.000Mah battery would have led to an improper cost increase in global devices. We must try to find a balance between giving our users everything we can and how much will cost.” Daniel explains that importing phones from China has a cost, and that the company seeks a balance between bringing models to Europe with the best specifications, and that the price does not continue to increase. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra has better speers than last year’s model, but maintains the same price in our territory. Silicon-carbon as ally. There is a main responsible for, finally, the 5,000mAh batteries cease to be the artificial top we had been seeing for years. The Silicon-Carbon batteries They are the new fashion, and allow manufacturers to integrate much more capacity in the same size. This is why they have been able to increase the capacity of the Xiaomi 15 in more than 600mAh compared to its predecessor, and so that the Xiaomi 15 Ultra has some more battery than the ultra 14 (the previous model had 5,300mAh). Companies such as Honor also sell their Magic7 Pro with almost 6,000Mah battery in China, staying only in 5,270mah in Europe. A trend that we hope is ending up reversing according to the costs of this type of batteries are descending over time.
