Beijing Olympics. Same thing happened in 2008.
China shuts down the coal plants around the venues because the smog is bad PR. They use temporary diesel generators, I think.
Chinese demand drives prices up. Might be, not sure, SPR was bought by Trump oil prices and Xi "got" Brandon to cut him a deal.
If so, we have Brandon selling off oil that will need to be replaced at higher prices, even when it raises pump prices that drive his polls in the shitter. I think that's called lose-lose, for the US, anyway.
I wonder Brandon would do that? Is there any answer that makes economic or political sense and doesn't smell like blackmail/extortion/finger in the pie for 10% bullshit?
