China Coal Production Hits New All-Time High For July
China’s coal output rose 2.8% in July from a year earlier as mines ramped up production to ensure steady supply amid record-breaking heat, China’s statistics bureau data showed, even though thermal power output fell while hydropower generation surged.
As Reuters reports, the world’s biggest polluter and largest coal producer mined 390.37 million metric tons of the fuel last month, according to the National Bureau of Statistics data on Thursday, which while down from June’s 405.38 million tons, which was the highest level since December 2023, was the highest ever for the month of July, surpassing the previous record set in 2023 at 378 million tons.
Average daily coal output in July stood at 12.59 million tons, down from 13.5 million tons a day in June but up from 12.18 million daily tons a year earlier.
China’s national energy regulator said late in July it was coordinating power plant coal inventories to keep them at a minimum of 200 million tons because of continuing hot weather.
Thermal power output disappointed the coal industry in July, however, falling for a third straight month as more electricity was generated by hydropower because of heavy rains in July. China’s thermal power generation fell 4.9% to 574.9 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) even as total power generation rose 2.5% to 883.1 billion kWh, the statistics showed.
Production was lower particularly in China’s coking coal hub of Shanxi province, which produced 29% of China’s coal last year. Output was limited there after the local government told miners to curb excess production and announced stepped-up safety checks over the March-May period.
But other provinces were more than happy to pick up the slack. Most of the extra output came from the country’s second-largest producing region Inner Mongolia, a record 104 million tonnes up from 97 million a year ago…
… and fourth-largest producer Xinjiang, which added a record 41 million tonnes up from 33 million.
Hydropower generation for the month rose 36.2% on the year to 166.4 billion kWh.
China’s growing coal-to-chemicals industry is offsetting some of the slowing demand for coal-fired power, with coal consumption in the chemicals industry growing 21% in the first half of the year, wrote Lauri Myllyvirta, senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute.
“China’s energy security drive and falling coal prices relative to oil prices have driven a boom in this industry,” Myllyvirta said.
Analysts have said they expect China’s coal output to keep increasing through the third quarter on the hotter weather and as production recovers from a slump earlier in the year due to safety inspections.

China to Screen Arrivals for Monkeypox
Chinese authorities have started monitoring people and goods entering the country for mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, the General Administration of Customs (GAC) said on Friday. The new measures will remain in force for six months, according to GAC.
The announcement came two days after the World Health Organization (WHO) designated a recent surge in infections in Africa as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), and called for a vaccination campaign.
People arriving in China from “countries and regions where cases of the disease have been confirmed should declare their conditions to customs upon entry if they have symptoms” including fever, headache, rashes and others, the GAC said, emphasising that “customs officers will implement medical measures and conduct sampling and testing in accordance with the prescribed procedure.”
Vehicles, containers and goods from areas where mpox cases have been spotted should be sanitised, the statement added.
Mpox can spread through close contact, causing flu-like symptoms, a rash that forms blisters and then crusts over, and swollen lymph nodes. According to WHO, the disease is usually mild and only fatal only in rare cases.
Last year, China’s National Health Commission labelled mpox a Category B infectious disease along with COVID-19, AIDS and SARS. The move enabled national authorities to take emergency measures, including restricting gatherings, suspending work and school, and sealing off areas in case of an outbreak.
Mpox was first identified as a distinct illness in 1958 among laboratory monkeys in Denmark, while the first documented cases in humans were recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia and Sierra Leone. The virus has long been endemic in central Africa, mainly in the DRC. When it first began spreading in late 2022, the WHO declared an emergency and renamed the disease mpox, to avoid “racist and stigmatizing language.”
On Wednesday, the WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for “a coordinated international response” to stop the spread of the disease and save lives across the world. The statement followed a viral outbreak in the DRC that spread to neighbouring countries earlier this month.

Kim Dotcom to Be Extradited to US After Losing 12-Year Legal Battle
Kim Dotcom, born Kim Schmitz in Germany, has lost a 12-year fight to have his deportation to the US halted on charges of copyright infringement, money laundering and racketeering, a US-based news source reported.
On Friday, New Zealand’s Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith said he had decided that Dotcom should be surrendered to the US to face trial. Although, a date for the extradition has not yet been reported.
Dotcom is an internet Mogul who was born in Germany but holds residency in New Zealand. The charges he faces are related to his file-sharing site Megaupload, created in 2005, which was shut down by US authorities in 2012.
Shortly after his site was shut down, the mogul was arrested by New Zealand police following a raid on his mansion that the US authorities had requested. The 50-year-old entrepreneur posted bail and thus began his lengthy legal process to avoid extradition.
Prosecutors have said that Dotcom’s site took in at least $175 million primarily from those who used the site to illegally download songs, televisions shows and movies. Those defending the internet entrepreneur say it was the decision of those who used the site to pirate materials, not its founders.
In response to the judge’s decision, Dotcom wrote on X on Thursday that he “loves New Zealand” and that he is not leaving.

Trump Opens Door to Improved Relations With Iran
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he hopes Washington will maintain friendly relations with Tehran if he returns to the White House.
He made the remarks on Thursday while speaking at a press conference in New Jersey about his plan to restore world peace.
“I’m not looking to be bad to Iran, we’re going to be friendly, I hope … maybe, but maybe not,” Trump said, after accusing Tehran of funding the Palestinian militant group Hamas. “But they can’t have a nuclear weapon,” Trump stressed.
The US withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA) in 2018 during the first term served by Trump, who at the time dubbed the agreement “the worst deal ever.”
The Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action, which in 2015 was signed by Iran, China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, and the US administration of President Barack Obama, envisaged Tehran scaling down its nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of international restrictions on it.
Then Washington’s denouncement of the landmark agreement prompted Iran to renege on some of its JCPOA commitments and return to enriching uranium.
Earlier this week, Trump’s campaign team claimed that Iranian cybercriminals have stolen internal US documents, their goal being influencing the 2024 election. A previous cyber-intelligence report by Microsoft had warned that hackers and fake-news sites allegedly linked to Iran could be targeting an unidentified official related to a US presidential campaign.
Trump later posted on his Truth Social platform that he believed Iran was behind the attack, writing “We were just informed by Microsoft Corporation that one of our many websites was hacked by the Iranian Government – Never a nice thing to do!”
Iran’s permanent mission to the UN has denied the Trump campaign’s allegations, in a statement to Reuters, writing that “the Iranian government neither possesses [the documents alleged] nor harbors any intent or motive to interfere in the United States Presidential election.”
