It makes sense from the angle of putting other countries into deeper dependency on the US, but, this also opens up China's electrification to new markets. Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Australia have a choice between US oil/gas or cheaper+cleaner Chinese solar/batteries. It was too late before the war even started.
