　　Editor"s Note：

　　China is demonstrating remarkable resilience in the face of international energy shocks. From electric heavy-duty trucks shuttling back and forth in the mining areas in Central China to the major natural gas pipeline artery running through Central Asia, and to the cooperation between Chinese and Western energy companies - a tectonic energy transformation is taking place. This is not merely a transition in energy technology but also a journey of transformation and development for China"s energy industry, moving from self-transformation to collaboration and now toward leading global transformation. Experts interviewed by the Global Times believe that against the backdrop of global geopolitical turbulence and profound shifts in the energy supply landscape, China, through its coordinated strategy of new-energy development and electrification, has carved out a unique path that balances development needs with energy security. This path is also providing valuable experience and insights to countries around the world.

　　In a phosphate mine in Yichang, Central China"s Hubei Province, a total of 50 electric heavy-duty trucks made by Dongfeng Motor Corporation are transporting materials back and forth in the pit.

　　Since the mine officially launched China"s first "zero-carbon mine transportation corridor" around August 2025, the trucks are entirely powered by electricity, rather than diesel fuel.
